NOTES
WAR IS WAR #3 INTIMACY IN RELATIONSHIP
WE ARE IN QUARANTINE….
WHAT IS INTIMACY
– a close personal relationship that derives MUTUAL VULNERABILITY
MY STORY OF COMING TO INTIMACY
-built mine in the garage of 2013
-in my room bunk bed with the word
– worship in living room 5min prayers
2 BIBLICAL EXAMPLES
– genesis18:17 Abraham should I tell him (sodom)
– Numbers12:6-8 God speaks to Moses face to face
GOD WANTS AN INTIMATE RELATION WITH YOU
– hebrews4:16 /9:4-11
GREATER INTIMACY BREEDS GREATER WORSHIP
GREATER INTIMACY COMES FROM GREATER TRUST
TRUST IS FAITH AND GREATER FAITH COMES BY WHAT YOU HEAR (WHAT U UNDERSTAND)
THOSE WHO HEAR SHALL UNDERSTAND (MORE TIME YOU SPEND AT JESUS FEET MORE YOU WILL DEEP)
6 THINGS THAT MAKES INTIMACY IN RELATIONSHIP
– EXPERIENTIAL (activity based brings people together eg. You help me build my business by spending time with me) GOD SENDS YOU
– EMOTIONAL (caring about feelings, being able to share intimate details I’M SCARED OF BEING HURT)
– MENTAL/INTELLECTUAL (shared values, ATTITUDES, ideas, opinions, interests and purposeful convo even when they disagree | Not sure about patriarchy in bible) READING THE WORD AND CHALLENGING PREVIOUS ATTITUDE TOWARDS CERTAIN THINGS
– SPIRITUAL (respect for beliefs and shared PURPOSE (sharing your revelations, understanding of the word about what God said to you)
– PHYSICAL (hugging, kissing, CUDDLES) expressing how you like a hug sometimes when you’ve had a bad day before you continue your day
– SEXUAL (foreplay, sexual intercoyrse) expression to partner of how you liked being touched in a certain way ( I FEEL HIS PRESENCE)
ALL FORMS PLAY APART IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, EVEN SEXUAL
EMOTIONAL (PRAYER + WORSHIP)
– sharing heart, thoughts, desires with God
– PRAYER comes from word oratio (speak)
– we must be open to God transparent
– God wants to know your feelings and desire psalm37:4
EXAMPLES OPENESS
– I cried out to the Lord , and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude
Psalms 3:4 NLT
Have mercy on me, Lord , for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. My body and soul are withering away.
Psalms 31:9 NLT
– “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord . “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
Isaiah 1:18 NLT
Equally God wants to share with us (WORD, WORSHIP, PRAYER)
– Should I hide my plan from Abraham?” the LORD asked. Gen18:17
– God desires (1timothy2:3-4) all men saved
– Jeremiah29:11 the thoughts he has towards us
GOD LOVES YOU
– O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart.”
– My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 NLT
THERE SHOULD BE TRANSPARENCY
– YOU cannot expect revelation to be entrusted if you won’t give your heart
– matthew15:8 – they honour me with lips but heart far from me
WHY YOU CAN’T BE TRANSPARENCY WITH GOD
-you feel stupid talking to air
-nobody talks back
-you don’t get answers right away
-you feel God is like everybody else not interested in you or your stories
-your used to fighting for yourself
-it means dealing with issues you don’t wanna
-it hurts to deal emotionally
-you know God can but you don’t wanna do the work
-ALL THESE ARE REASONS TOO GIVE GOD THAT PLATFORM… HE ISNT A MAN
