Are you afraid of intimacy?

AMED 43.13

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Are you afraid of intimacy?

Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of “A Miracle Every Day”. I pray his message and audio will bless you today.

Intimacy with God is both elusive and attainable. In my experience, it seems that intimacy with God is something that most people want but are afraid of. 

Are you afraid of being close to God? 

While I was reading 2 Peter 1:8, I was shaken by a promise: The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (2 Peter 1:8, NLT)

God wants to be intimate with you and with me. He wants you to get to know Him better.

Moses had this type of hunger for God. Do you remember his big request? “Now show me your glory.” (Exodus 33:18, NIV) 

Do you really want to get to know God better? Do you want to be intimate with God?

I believe the Bible gives us a road map to this elusive goal. I’d recommend these three steps:

  1. Add the seven qualities described in 2 Peter 1:5-7, and you’ll grow in the knowledge of God.
  2. Ask God to forgive you for all your sins and mistakes. He inhabits clean vessels.
  3. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your body, soul and spirit. 

After you ask God for intimacy, He will begin to heal you and reveal Himself to you. 

The good news is God will do things in your life that will amaze you and your family. 

Intimacy with God is not scary; it is the very thing that will free you from your fears.

You’re a miracle.

    Thank you for the wonderful knowledge and the kindness you have shown. Your words really do encourage and give people like us hope that one day things will be just like how they are meant to be.
    Having an intimate relationship with God can be hard to start with but I believe that with committment we can grow in our faith and build a stronger and intimate relationship with Him. God bless you and hanks again for everything you are doing.
