Intamacy & Relationship

You must have a relationship with someone for REAL intimacy to occur. We must have a right relationship with the Lord for our worship (intimacy) to be right with the Lord and real intimacy to occur with the Lord. In Moses time he operated with levels of intimacy daily:

4 Circles: Outer Circle (where the masses lived), Elder Circle (these saw the Lord when the masses could not), the circle of Moses and Joshua, and finally the Inner Circle (only Moses). In each of these circles a deeper level of intimacy was required. Masses couldn't go into the elders group. The elders couldn't go into Moses and Joshua's circle, and Joshua couldn't enter into the inner circle. This was always reflective of the level of intimacy that people were walking or abiding by. I'm very close with lots of people, but there is only a select few that could walk into my house (circle) unannounced. You would have to be in a very close circle for this to happen. We must all be close enough to the Lord that we can walk into His presence and feel His anointing!! We have to be close enough and eager enough to really press in and become close to Him!!

The Lord is wanting us to enter into deeper intimacy with Him. People everywhere are at different levels of intimacy. In a worship service all different types of people are entering into a intimacy circle with the Lord @ different paces and levels. You should NEVER be held up from a circle of intimacy with the Lord. You must press in on your own!!! Real intimacy inspires REAL worship!! True worship changes us intellectually and emotionally. We must move into the inner circle with the Lord and really prove that we love Him. Worship is a LIFESTYLE.

I challenge you today to: Examine your Worship, Deepen your Intimacy for Worship, and Obey God through your Worship unto Him!!
