Intimacy With God

Judging from the signs of the times, I have every reason to believe with every fiber of my being that we are on the brink of a spiritual awakening. This has awakened a desperation in me for a sovereign move of God, which I believe will result in an unprecedented apostolic revival in a magnitude we have never experienced before.

I am excited about the future. God is calling his people to come up higher to forge a stronger bond of intimacy with him. With God there are several levels of intimacy. As a point of reference let us look at several key characters of the tribe of Israel.

Before Moses received the law at Mount Sinai, God called the children of Israel to congregate before him. Some including the priests were commanded to remain at the foot of the hill being careful not to touch the border of it (Ex 19:12). then Aaron accompanied by Moses was called up to another level (Ex. 19:24). But the ultimate level was accessible only to Moses (Ex. 19:20).

In order to move from the position at the base of the mountain, which the masses occupied, to the top, requires certain characteristics expressed by Moses. These are: obedience, faith, persistence, intimate communion with God, total submission and isolation. the level of intimacy with God therefore lies with the individual.
