Pursuing a More Intimate Relationship with GOD

Ask GOD if you can get closer to HIM. Pray to GOD about having a more intimate relationship with HIM. Talk to GOD about wanting more of HIM and less of you. See if your Heavenly Father will leave you lacking in that request. If you could only get a vision of what starts to happen once those words are uttered forth into the atmosphere. You have literally knocked on the door of GOD's heart. HE desires to have that relationship with you. Get prepared for the changes coming your way. HE will show you the things that attempt to race to the front of the line ahead of your attention for HIM. That will be your decision time among many to come. It will almost be like a gentle nudge and you will have to check your affections and their priority in your life. Then your timing will change. You will either double the time you spend with HIM or triple it.There will be an increase.Do you have relationships with other people? They will probably change too. It could be minimum or it could seem like it is off the hook crazy. GOD is into relationships. HE is the Creator and Designer of relationships. 


But trying to accommodate your time among others and pursue GOD with reckless             
abandon will be interesting if you are able to manage it. The enemy of your soul can make you seem like the most popular saint on the earth if he is able to distract you from spending time with GOD.


I have chosen to pursue GOD with reckless abandon and it has been one of the most encouraging times in my life. HIS presence is so evident to me and that is a euphoria no one wants to leave. Of course, there are challenging times. That is the enemy's job to distract, discourage and attempt to depress us. But Glory to GOD, the quality and quantity of time with GOD will always supersede whatever the enemy attempts to offer to GOD's people. In the time spent with GOD you will be more effective in listening to HIM and being more quiet to be able to receive from HIM at any given time. This also includes exercising humility every day. That in itself, yields more of GOD's power in your life than you could possibly imagine. HE will use you to Glorify HIMSELF. When you are a servant to someone, you go where you are instructed to go and you do what you are instructed to do. You can have the confidence of Joseph if you like and have the favor of GOD to excel in whatever task HE has assigned you to complete.We are suppose to do all jobs well to Glorify GOD. Yes, your attitude plays an important part on giving the Glory to GOD. 


The most radical thing about wanting more time with GOD and desiring to know HIM better, is that it opens you up to being trained and used by HIM. There is always an area of improvement for the saints of the most High GOD. We are always a work in progress. Prayerfully, you will be able to encourage, edify and elevate others in their walk with Jesus too. This is never a one man or one woman show. May GOD Bless you where you are right now in Jesus' name.
