A Personal Intimacy 
with the Lord

 

Children, God is calling –We are on Mount Sinai today -God is calling you into a personal intimacy with Him —Are you ready? If we dare answer His call then be prepared to redefine everything you have ever done. Your decision today will determine whether you go forward or backward in your walk with Christ.

Intimacy with Christ requires a certain level of brokenness because purity comes from brokenness. The game’s are over friend, God is calling you. 

Do we dare let Him look into our hearts? What will He find there? We, as a church family, have to deal with our inward as well as our outward actions –We must come clean before the Lord if we want revival. God cannot reveal Himself to a partial church; we would be destroyed in an instant. 

God is calling people who want serious revival, true repentance. It’s you He's after –He wants You to draw near; but at the same time, if we let Him come near, then He will have to deal with us about our sins. We must die. We must pass by the altar of forgiveness and sacrifice on our way into the Holy of Holies. It's time to lay our egos on the cross, to crucify our will, to lay our agendas aside-forget all the plans you've made for yourself and lay on His altar and die to self and the world.  

Ask Him today, "Lord what do you want me to do?" It’s time to lay everything aside and apply the blood and enter through the veil of repentance. You must die to self. You must make restitution first, then go to the altar to enter into His presence.  

Do you really want the presence of the Lord to come? Are we willing to pay the cost? We will have to learn to properly reverence, handle and steward the holiness of God. 

Do you realize that God may actually look elsewhere if we do not come back to Him, to a relationship with Him, and not just His "stuff"? We need to come before Him in awe, and respect Him in all His glory and power.  

God will only birth things to a people that make room for the miraculous by faith. Our soul purpose should be to praise His name and seek His lovely face. How do we go about doing that? 

Forget schedules, time and self-agendas. Come into His presence with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs and with thanksgiving in our heart lifting up Christ Jesus. Do not be ashamed of raising our hands, or dancing before Him, do not be ashamed of tears of repentance--just open your mouth and praise Him, climb up in the Father's lap and bask in His love. Put your hand in His nail-scarred hand and walk with Him in His garden of love, mercy and grace. Smell His sweet fragrance; relax in His loving embrace. Forget your pain, your anxieties, your worries, just say, "Lord, here I am, Your child who needs Your love today, rock me Lord, sing to me a sweet love song. I'm following You, Lord, wherever You lead me, I'm following. I surrender my all to You right now. I seek Your face, Lord, sing to me "Child, how I love you!" Come near to me Father as I draw near to You. Let me proclaim, "It's Him!" as You manifest Your presence and glory.
