Intimacy with God: You Share Everything "Togetherness"

April 10, 2020

Hello brothers and sisters and YouTube family! Hope you guys are being blessed. As we continue on in this series about intimacy with God, when you are in LOVE, you share everything! Everything!! You share your thoughts, your emotions, your desires, your time, your past, your pain, your joys, your bodies, and yes, you even share food! Am I right or am I wrong?! The two of you become intimately united with each other. And that is what Jesus wants with you. A life, in love, together! So share your thoughts with Him. He knows them already! And I’ve heard some say, “What’s the point of praying or talking to Jesus? He knows everything.” Which is true, but that’s not very personable is it? Jesus is a very personable person. He loves to hear what you think and your opinions. He doesn’t shy away from that at all. He wants you to be free to communicate with Him concerning what’s on your heart, and He’s so ready to listen. Guys, Jesus is the best listener you could ever find. Truely! He listens so intently to every single word, gesture, and sigh of your heart. And He gets you! He really does. And He loves details too.

Even your thoughts, if they are displeasing to Him, don’t hide them from Him! That’s what the enemy wants you to do. Rather come before Him in humility, boldly before your Bridegroom, where grace is endless as He waits for you. There you can be honest with Him about the bad thoughts you’re having, and ask Him to help you with that. And He will.

When you’re in love you share your emotions with one another. You share how you’re feeling, what bothers you, your dislikes and likes. So do the same with Jesus! If I can be honest guys I struggled with that for a while. Probably about a year or two ago Jesus played a song over me that addressed this, and it made it very plain in the lyrics that I had been hiding my emotions even from Him. And it hurt Him when I did that. Guys I just began to cry and cry because I didn’t realize He cared so much. And in doing this I had hurt Him.

Imagine having someone you care about always being passive and never allowing you into the deepest places in their heart. And then, when you ask if everything is ok, they say they are fine, but you know they are hurting or worried. If that happened, you would feel rejected, right? That’s how Jesus feels when we dismiss Him, and when we don’t open ourselves up to Him. It shows a lack of trust. And how it hurts Him. So tell Him!

One time, in distress I told the Lord frankly that I could not do this walk anymore. It was probably my second year in my walk with the Lord. And guys, we had gone through A LOT! And at this point I was telling Him that I just wanted to live my life, and not a life of work and prayer. It was no fun. And I just could not do this anymore. I was in tears saying all this to Him. And as I stopped a thought came to my mind. And I said, “Oh my gosh, I just broke up with Jesus.” And all I could do was just laugh and laugh and laugh with my tears and tissues. And I realized how silly I sounded. But more importantly than that, I realized He had heard me. He had understood my plight and gave me joy for my mourning, for that moment, causing me to laugh with Him, and laugh at myself. So be honest about your emotions with Him, then ask Him to help you with them.

When you love someone you share your desires with them, as Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” So how can you delight yourself in the Lord? But not only being in His presence and spending time with Him, but delighting yourself with everything that has to do with God. Then your desires become His desires. He infuses you with His love and His desires for you, because you are in love. You then begin to desire what He wants, sometimes without even knowing it.

In the beginning of my walk with the Lord He led me to Kari Jobe’s music. All of her songs minister to me in a profound way. I would play her albums over and over again. And I said in my heart how much I loved her and would one day love to meet her and express my gratitude for her helping me in my walk with Jesus. Do you know, the Lord not only answered the desire of my heart, but He surprised me in a big way. So when He called me to leave everything behind, He told me to join a church to sing in the choir. He then led me to leave my former church and join GateWay Church not having any idea that her father was the pastor there. So when I got accepted in the choir I found out that she was the one who started the choir! But not only that, we got to meet with her and sing with her on our church album! I was flabergasted. SINGING ON STAGE WITH KARI JOBE! Thank you Lord!

Then another time on my 30th birthday I asked Jesus to go shopping with me for a Birthday outfit. I found a white pant suit outfit that I wasn’t able to get at that moment, and it was the last one left guys, so I hid it, asking Him to keep it safe for me if He really wanted me to get that outfit. Because I wanted to wear what He wanted me to wear. So sure enough, I came back a few days later, and the outfit was gone. I was discouraged. I was about to leave when a sales person asked me if I needed help. I told her about the outfit and she said that she saw it and that she had picked it up and stored it away on another rack to keep it safe, since it was the only one left. I was flabbergasted again! So you know I had to tell her the testimony. She laughed in awh, saying, “He was really keeping it for you then!”

So I share all these details with you because He desires to do small things like that for all His brides, by doing life together. When you’re in love with someone you share your past and your pain with them. You tell them of past experiences that formed your thinking and the painful moments that no one else knows about. Once again, we tend to think that the Lord doesn’t care about our past or pain, because He was there, and He was there, and He didn’t do anything about it. But that’s a lie guys, from the enemy. You see, what the enemy intends for evil, Jesus has already redeemed and He will make it to be a testimony of His goodness. He’s not done with you yet. So many times you become angry and resentful at God because we have never actually talked to Him about it. So talk to Him about your past, your weaknesses that continue to cause you to stumble. Don't be ashamed. Talk to Him about the past wounds and words, or circumstances that are deep scars in your heart. Be honest with Him. Then allow Him to heal those areas.

It was just last year that I had to come face to face with the fact that I had resentment towards the Lord, because of something painful He allowed. I just cried out to Him when I realized the whole time I wasn’t only resentful towards this person but I was resentful towards God because I didn’t feel that He was there to comfort me as I wanted. So I poured out my heart to Him, asking Him to forgive me, but I was still hurting and frustrated at Him. Would you know Jesus showed up in the eyes of my heart?! I saw Him just holding me tenderly. And allowed me to get all of that off of my chest as He healed me with His loving presence.

When you're in love you share your joys and victories! Right?! They are the first person you want to call when you get good news or something exciting has happened. You want to tell them everything. So do the same thing with Jesus! He loves to hear your joys, and in detail guys remember lol. As He has said to Mother Clare before “I am not a mannequin God” That made me laugh so hard, because we tend to come before the Lord as if He can’t hear us, has nothing to say and doesn’t care. But that’s not true at all. He created us to not only bring Him joy, but when He sees you full of joy it brings Him much delight! Especially when you want to tell Him about it!

When you are in love with someone you share your food right? Well most of us do anyway I’m not talking to the stingy ones, lol. You may be thinking, “What? Jesus cares about what food we eat?” Yes! LOL. Doesn’t He say our bodies are a living temple of the Holy Spirit, and that we are not our own but are bought with a price?

In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

So we too must be mindful of what we eat because we are not our own. We are one with Him, our beloved Bridegroom. Gluttony is an offense before the Lord, and we have a new term for gluttony in our generation. We call it #foodie lol. So you just eat anything and everything that looks pleasing to the eye but can I tell you that abstaining from food, and fasting is actually helpful to cultivating an intimate relationship with the Lord. When we crucify our flesh in that way it allows our spirit to rise up and take over instead. It allows us to desire and hunger for spiritual food instead which truly satisfies and sustains us.

For example, I remember once waking up in the middle of the night, and I knew it was the Holy Spirit waking me up because Jesus wanted to spend time with me. So I got up and went to the kitchen. I should’ve done that, because when I opened up the fridge there was a fresh macaroni and cheese that my sister had just cooked. I decided oh Lord, just a few minutes let me grab a bite before I spend time with Him. Guys that bite lasted as an hour long late night dinner. When I came back to spend time with Jesus I saw Him in the eyes of my heart at a picnic table He had prepared for us and He was crying.

I was heartbroken and confused as He said to me that He had food prepared for us that would’ve satisfied me. And also that I had kept Him waiting for a meal. I kept the King of Kings and the Lords of Lord waiting for me over a bowl of macaroni. It reminded me of Esua who gave away his birthright for a bowl of stew. Some might say, “Come on, it's not that serious.” But to Jesus it is guys. In scripture Romans 9:13 he said “Jacob I loved but Esau I hated.” That is a strong word to come from God because Esua God was his belly. Philippians 3:19 says, “So we too must be mindful that He lives within us now and when we eat He eats too.” So share the right kind of food with Jesus and be mindful of if you’re feeding your spirit or flesh.

Jesus my beloved do you have anything you want to add?

My beloved ones these words are indeed right on the mark dear. I love how you share your experiences. That is what I desire My brides to experience Me. It is by experiential knowledge that you grow in intimacy with Me. Reading My word alone, which is wonderful, will eventually grow flat for you My dear ones, and can cause pride to puff up if you are not experiencing Me in the secret place. Remember it was the Pharisees that knew scripture so well, who were students of the word but not students after My own heart. That is what I am raising up in these last days; students, brides after My own heart, who know Me. So I am calling you to share in My love, in My pain, in My thoughts and My desires for you dear one. I too like to share things. I am not only a great listener but I Am also a great friend and counselor if you would have Me. I long to give you suggestions, direction and wise counsel to what you are going through right now if you would just come before Me. I would love to share My heart with you, My thoughts with you, and share My heartaches with you. There is where I am most lonely, for few of My brides want to share in My suffering but would rather share in my joys and glory but did I not say to suffer with Me is to share in My glory My beloved ones.

As an aside, He is referencing 1 Peter 4:13, “But rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”

When you unite yourself with Me completely and wholeheartedly we indeed become one. I long, and look for a heart that I can entrust My most deepest secrets. A heart and a home where I can rest My weary head from the rejection, the mocking and the pains of this world I see, hear and feel. I love to find a heart that can comfort and console Me in My dark nights as I await for lost souls to respond to My love or to console Me from the souls who have rejected My grace and mercy time and time again. I look and long to share My life with you. That entails the crown of scorn and contempt, that entails the joy of My Mother, that entails the cross I still have to carry, and that entails many times the wounds I suffer on the cross for the indifference of mankind.

I long to share these things with you. Will you avail yourself to hear Me, to be with Me, to be one with Me? To wipe the spittle from My face, to catch My tears in the middle of the night, to comfort My aching heart and to rejoice with Me when another bride comes back home. I long to share with you all of these things. I long to seek your counsel and suggestion just as I did with Abraham. When I desired and had made it a point to bring destruction to all of Sodom and Gomorrah I consulted My friend Abraham and because of his love for Me his nephew lot was saved.

As an aside He is referencing the scripture Genesis 18:17 “The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?”

Many times I have relented time and time again because I found a friend who would stand in the gap for others in prayer and fasting, to have My mercy poured out. And even now I look and wait for My bride to respond, to be the one to stand interceding, standing with all hope, and coming before Me to receive mercy as Esther did. I am king, but I Am also your spouse and My septer is extended to you now. Come boldly before the throne of grace to obtain mercy for yourself and others. I long to share our life together.

And that was the end of Jesus’ message. So guys I hope this encouraged you and blessed you, to do life together with Jesus. And I just want to pray over you now. Father, I just thank you for this word. Lord may Your word continue to go forth and not return void. God I pray that you would anoint the hearts and ears that hear this that your word would fall on good soil and bear fruit in their lives. Lord remove the shame and guilt, condemnation and fear that continues to stop so many from entering into a personal relationship with You. God I pray that you would remove and bind every spirit of unbelief that stops many from walking out in faith to hear and to see you Jesus and to experience you Lord. I pray for a great experience of Your love like never before upon Your church, upon Your Bride, upon the lost Lord God. Because I know Lord God, when I was touched by Your love I was never the same again. So shower Your love upon these ones, Jesus. Draw them near to You. Blessed Mother, we ask for your intercession to release graces, that many would say, “Yes” and respond to Jesus, and become one with Him. All these things we pray in Your name. We love you Lord! Amen.

God bless you guys until the next message. Bye.
