Forward Greetings to you, in the Name of Our Lord Christ Jesus. Hope this book finds you in great health and blessed beyond measures.

This book was written by the inspiration of The Holy Spirit to give us foundation of biblical truths based on true intimacy with Our Heavenly Father.

I believe on March 9th, 2019, The Holy Spirit inspired me to write this book for everyone who has ears to hear and eyes to read of what The Father wants us to understand about just the basics of building a true and rooted relationship, including intimacy, with Him. I have often heard The Holy Spirit speak in deeper inner most part of me that “Intimacy is vital in this hour� for the Great Commission and for those who has never really known Him. If read with understanding from The Spirit of God, this will open your mind to greatness and an overwhelming and overbounding sense of passion, courage, peace and a greater understanding of His attributes.

I truly and whole-heartly want to thank each and every person who pushed and encouraged me to complete this major assignment. You know who you are, Thanks 3

Chapter 1: Let Me (God) introduce Myself As I write this book, I felt led to write as God Himself would be here with me to narrate exactly how He would introduce Himself to you. Honestly, no one could properly introduce themselves quite like they could. Trust me, I give the Holy Spirit complete control has each letter and word is written in this book.

For those who know Me, you understand that I have many names but each of them has significance in what I perform for every life that was created. However, for those that don’t know who I AM, I AM WHO I AM (Exodus 3:14), meaning no matter when and where, I AM there. I AM also the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8) who is and is to come. I AM also El Olam, The God that never changes (Psalms 90:1-2). But to Me the most important of these names is ABBA, I AM Father (Galatians 4:6).

Now that we have somewhat of a start of an accurate introduction, I need to explain why the name of Father is so important to Me. In the beginning of earth’s time, since My creation of man which started with Adam and Eve, I have always focused on man becoming My image (Genesis 1:26-27). The reason for that purpose was for My children (man) to have a deep rooted, longlasting, bountiful and loving relationship with Me. Intimacy was always My plan with My children (man). I have always wanted intimacy with My children. However, manmade choices were made, even in the beginning when I was in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8). When those choices were made, intimacy and relationship with Me began to be tainted.

What My children (man) failed to understand, before they went to counter measures to find greater knowledge, in that intimacy with Me would be of great service and 4

benefit to those that believe in our relationship. Intimacy with Me would give them understanding of the greater motive of their existence. My plan for each one is the very foundation of their lives, which could only be found in the place of true intimacy with Me.

When I created each individual, each one was made with a designed purpose that was different than the next (Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you, before you were born I set you apart;) (Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.).

My plans are to give you the abundance through intimacy (2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.) (Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us), My intentions will always be pure (Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.).

As My intentions are always pure, with no self-motives, for you; My thoughts are always higher toward you and for you. (Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.) I seek your hearts for deeper measures to bring out all that you are. (Jeremiah 17:10 “I, the LORD, search and examine the mind, I test the heart, To give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.)

5

These are the reasons I need to introduce Myself to you in this way, so you can truly understand what was being said in My Word; My Love Letter to you. (Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.)

Intimacy with you was always a big part of My plan, greater relationship is something My Heart delights in. (Zephaniah 3:17 “The LORD your God is in your midst, A Warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins], He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.)

I cherish each part of you; every thought, how you were made, your hearts desires and every breath you take. (Luke 12:7 Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are far more valuable than many sparrows.) My love never stops existing or growing for you, I can’t run out of love for you and get tired of loving you like anyone else; I AM Love; I AM the Founder and Creator. (1 John 4:8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]

I designed you to Love you; I set you apart and made you through Love and for Love; nothing was greater than that moment for Me. (Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you)

Chapter 2: Look for Me and I will always be found Matt 7:7 Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.

Love and Intimacy is the key successor to all under God ~ Holy Spirit

I want to take time in this chapter to share my story; how I was brought to understand the true Heart of God; why He wanted me to chase after an intimate relationship with Him. When I was 5 years old, my mother, birth mother, died suddenly of breast cancer.

There was not too much I could remember of the relationship we had because before her death came and I was already adopted by my grandparents. Both my grandfather and grandmother raised me until I was 6 years old until my grandfather passed. My grandmother and uncle raised me along with my sister until I was 14 years old; then there was her passing.

Through her raising me there was a whole lot of unconditional love, an over abounding amount of unconditional love. It was almost like is was more than actual human could give. She understood loving people no matter what they have done or where they have been or who they were. At the time, I could not see God in this love; because the only way I was able to see Him was like a religious-like figure; not an all loving, understanding my faults and loving me for me kind of God. I only seen Him as He would punish us to Hell if our lives are not right with Him. 8

There was a lot I could not understand for years after my grandmother passed, because I went through family members mistreating me, who took me in after my grandmother passed. They were claiming to be “Christians” but had no real love for me at all; there was just so much I could not understand about the love that people claim to have and saying they were “Christians”.

Through this being misplaced and not understanding God at all, I began to do my own thing and rebel against the “Christian” theology. I knew that I did not want to be in that category and had find a way out. However, I did not have a complete understanding of that then. I begin to fall face first into sexual satisfaction with many women to find intimacy and some kind of love to fulfill what was missing; I began to use marijuana, cocaine and alcohol to comfort the pain of loss from what I thought I was missing. For the next 15 years this was how I coped with losing love. In my mind love was gone and I would never be able to find it like my grandmother was here to give me.

Well I am here to inform you that was not so; God had another way.

At the end of that 15 years basically trapped in my own way of thinking and understanding, God directed me to Him. When I turned 34 years old, I heard the voice of God very clearly.

That day He told me to go to my grandmother’s grave. When I arrived at her grave site I could feel an overwhelming love; one that I could never possibly explain in words; it would surely take this whole book to explain that. And I heard God say to me, “The Love that you gave to her I need you to give to ME.” He was basically saying that He put that Love in her to give to me and so many other people. He designed her to be that Love on the earth; her purpose was to Love people like they had never been Loved before. I AM her Love. (1 John 4:17 Beloved, let 9

us [unselfishly] [a]love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience]. 1 John 4:16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.)

After realizing that I had an actual meeting with God; an actual one on one encounter with Him, I wanted to know more, I wanted to experience Him even more. I wanted to fall deeper in love with Him. I needed to create a special place with just He and I; together as one. (Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

I was so intrigued to learn that God loved me so much like this and it did matter about the things I had done in my past or even a wrong misconception of who He was; He just Loved me and wanted time with me like a Father.

The thing is we get so caught up into what someone else has said about someone that we don’t even take time to understand who that person is; well, that same concept is even how we are with God. For so many centuries people have corrupted the very idea and thought of who The Father is. Our minds have been programmed or worked to believe certain things cannot be reached in communicating with God. Like an example, people say, “You better not question God” or “Don’t question Him, He knows all”, well, that’s the whole concept of asking Him or “questioning” Him is because He knows all.

I believe He wants to know our every thought. Being intimate and having a relationship with God is also part of a debate with Him at times, even though He always comes out right, but He wants our true feelings even when we don’t agree with Him, but in that disagreement, He is always faithful to show you the greater picture 10

and how it will work. John 4:24 says, “God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”. This scripture speaks on worship, but I also believe God wants us to come whole-hearted, with every thought and feeling, because it is also a part of worship to Him. This is what I had to come to understand after all those years of what Baptist traditional, religious thinking had done to my conception of God for so many years, God wanted share Himself with me more than I ever knew or thought of. God wants us to understand Him in every way possible as He chooses to reveal it; whether it is in His Word or if it is in a quiet intimate place with Him. (Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.) Intimacy with God takes us to a place of rest where we can understand God on monumental and superb aspects of who He truly is.

Chapter 3: Restoration with Relationship: Reviving the Cause

2 Chronicles 7:14 and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.

Jeremiah 33: 3 Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.

As I still continually write this book, the content is still based on the fact that I only get my direction from The Holy Spirit. He only knows and understands how we can make a true, rooted, grounded and long-lasting relationship with Him.

In this chapter, we will see that God does work so many wonderful things in our lives just through relationship. He will give rest and reassurance with just taking time in His presence. However, there are so many levels of understanding a deeper intimacy with God that can almost become tangible. God is a Spirit, so we must spend time with Him and worship

13

Him with an honest and true heart (John 4:24 - God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.)

Secondly, through intimacy He gives immeasurably with His presence; there is no limits to what He will give to the child that chases Him and just wants to be there with Him (Revelation 21:3; 21:6 - And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 21:6 And He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give [water] from the fountain of the water of life without cost.)

Futhermore, He gives direction and helps us understand the direct purpose that He designed for our lives. We were created for a much greater design and purpose than just the normality or mediocre things that we execercise daily. God is much larger than just mediocre; there is so much more to Him than just a norm. He can definitely balance our lives with our norm and His greatness. He wishes to bring so much more to the table than we could ever imagine. (1 Corinthians 2:9 - but just as it is written [in Scripture],“THINGS WHICH THE EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND THE EAR HAS NOT HEARD,

AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,

ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM [who hold Him 14

in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].)

The word “heart” has a Greek meaning which is “kardia” meaning; thoughts or feelings (mind), this directly show that God is more than willing to take us to higher things than our mediocreness once we get into true relation and intimacy with Him; He will direct every path (Proverbs 3:6 - In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].)

In knowing this, we can assure that when there is a understanding of the greatness that He applies to our lives, through intimacy, He will protect the investment that he has in you. (1 Peter 4:10-11 - Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor]. 11 Whoever speaks [to the congregation], is to do so as one who speaks the oracles (utterances, the very words) of God. Whoever serves [the congregation] is to do so as one who serves by the strength which God [abundantly] supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified [honored and magnified] through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.)

15

With all this being said, I believe that the Body of Christ, being some, need the restoring of the relationship with The Holy Spirit. Some of us have truly forgotten the power of the intimacy and relation with The Father. We lost the desire to be on His agenda, but complacent with our own agenda; not seeking His motives, will and desire. The main and true way to have passion and desire is through true relation and intentions to seek Him (Matt 6:33 - But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.)

As some unbelivers (people who have not yet received salvation from Christ), you might be just one who has not received salvation or you could be an atheist, but the fact of the matter is we all can receive the true Love and benefits from being intimate and in love with The Father, (Acts 10:34 Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is not one to show partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s blessing];)

We all can take part in experiencing the deep things and intimate relationship with The Father.

If you have not received salvation from Christ Jesus, now can be the time.

His Word says in Romans 10:13 “For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in 16

prayer] will be saved.” You can actually give Him your life now and watch Him do great exploits with you.

Pray this prayer: Father forgive me, I know that now You can be here for me like You have been for anyone else who has sought after You. However, Father I need You too. I desire to be in Your family, where You provided a way to do that through Your Son’s death and the Blood He shed for me. Father, I want to be in this Kingdom with You, I desire to have the salvation that will get me to Heaven with You. Father, forgive me for every wrong thought or action that I have done to grieve You. Take me has Your own, I change my thinking and I submit to You,Your Will and Your higher Way. In Jesus Name, Amen.

If you prayed that prayer, Heaven is rejoicing with you now.

Chapter 4: Friends Forever (My BFF): Faith that makes Friends James2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and this [faith] was credited to him [by God] as righteousness and as conformity to His will,” and he was called the friend of God.

In this chapter, we will focus on the facts and reason why Abraham was called a friend of God. Furthermore, why was he credited righteousness during a time before Christ was crucified and the Blood of Christ shed to bring us back to righteousness with The Father.

What we want to look at in James 2:23 is take a real close look at the word “friend”, because this word is very significant in this particular passage.

There is actually a substanance with the word “friend”; it actually shows how The Father sees us and how close we are to Him when we are in righteousness; meaning “right standing” with God.

The word “friend” comes from the Greek Word “philos-fee’-los” meaning; friend, very fond of, associate or neighbor; also another word for a certain kind of friendship love to one another. I find it very intrguing and fascinated that He looks at us so close to Him. 19

We look past this everyday and kind of take this not into consideration of the closeness we can have with The Father. However, the important thing is we need to remember that there are so many benefits with being a Friend of God (John 15:15 - I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father.)

Secondly, the most important and excellent portion of everything known to us is that Christ laid down His Life for us (John 15:13 - No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends.) Just envision that The Son of God, The Darling of Heaven; Christ Jesus laid down His life for us; to give us more than just hope; but a permanent and undying Love from The Father forever.

However, we should make this a pursuit to be a true intimate Friend of God. He is the Source without end and these are the great resources and benefits of becoming a absolute Friend of our Father.

Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me.

Chapter 5: Establishing and Keeping Intimacy and Relationship with Him Lord, if I were a plant You would be the water for my soul.

Isaiah 65:24 - “It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

In this chapter, we are going to examine how we can be effective with embracing and establishing intimacy with our Father. To persevere in our journey to obtain intimacy with Him would be to keep our eyes on the true heart of The Father, just meaning to understand His attributes and ways, design ourselves to become one with all that He is. (Jeremiah 33:3) With this endeavor, it requires much departing for our actual agendas, motives, plans and will. This is His Kingdom and only He has the right keys direct the path we should go (Proverbs 3:6; 16:9) Where we get power is directly and whole-heartly humbling ourselves to who He is. God’s Power given to us is just actually getting the epiphany of God’s actual true attributes, but once we gain this revelation we have to be absolutely starving hungry for it. (Romans 8:17; 1 Corinthians 4:20; Matt 6:33) Forasmuch, we have to keep a constant striving for the cause to keep these thoughts in our mental capacity, because it will bring fulfillment and great satisfaction when searching for a greater relationship with Him. (Isaiah 55:8-9) He has more that we possibly ever imagine, He becomes rooted and grounded with this mindset in us the longer and longer and higher and higher we go in His ways and ask Him for these attributes. (Eph 3:16-19)

22

There is no other way to stay connected deeply then to truly open and expand our minds truly to The Father’s Will and Ways, we must humble ourselves to intimacy first, then all other things will come. His yoke is easy and His burden is light, (Matt 11:28-30) but we truly forget this with all of busyness of lives and the world.

In 1 Samuel 4, Israel went out to battle the Philistines and attempted to take the Ark of the Covenant for protection. So the Ark was the actual Presence of God, however, they had the idea that if they took this to the battlefield God would slay all of the Philistine soldiers, but not so.

However, because they sought after a thing that represented God and made it an idol and not God actually Himself they were defeated and God took the Ark from them. Point being made here is that we just do our mediocre church live with no real intimacy, we religiously go to a chruch gathering of some sort every Sunday without empowering ourselves in a quiet time with God and end up losing our everyday battles because we did not go for the true Source; The Darling of Heaven; The Rose of Sharon; Christ Jesus our Lord. You can only find true victory in the Secret Place where we must be. (Psalms 91:1) If I were you I would definitely find myself there as much as possible and establish and hold to Him, it is the way to all our victories and rest.

Chapter 6: Understanding Purpose through Intimacy and Relationship with God Romans 8:28 - And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.

Intimacy is a requirement to complete your work in the Great Commission.

The plan of The Father for our lives is a true form of intimacy with Him. Jeremiah 29:11

We all have a desire of some sort to finish out our purpose before we “kick the bucket”, however, God our Father wants this a thousand more times than we do (Jeremiah 1:5). We were designed by Him and was assigned our purposes before we were born. The word “knew” in Jeremiah 1:5 is also the word “yada – yaw-dah” which simply means God consider us before we were born to do what He sent us out to accomplish. Furthermore, His design cannot come back void, null, canceled or vacant; it will go out of hiding into existence.

We all have a major part to play in seeing God’s grand design and course of action for our existence. (Psalms 57:2) He rules and reigns over every mission, purpose, aspiration and dream. (2 Chronicles 1:11-12) See, God is your biggest network of support, because He will make this thing work as long as we humble ourselves and ask Him for reinforcements. (1 Peter 5:6) We have to remain humble in His presence and His way, through intimate 25

moments, to see His grand design and course of action to take place while we still exist. (2 Chronicles 7:14) We must humbly inquire God about His design and attain everything that is dispatched within us from The Father to receive everything that is a factor for our purpose and destiny. (Micah 6:8) The Rose of Sharon; Christ Jesus our Lord has already paid the ransom; went to Hell and has taken the keys of Death, Hell and The Grave so we could walk in our purposes and see The Glory of Our Father. (Eph 1:7; Matt 6:10) As I reflect on this, I absolutely try my hardest to intake all that have learned and apply this thinking to my own life with repentance, because we all have to change our “stinkin’ thinkin” everyday. (Romans 12:1-2) Intimacy births out destiny and the change to watch it go forth!!

Chapter 7: Prayer to keep your relationship with God ignited In this chapter, I just wanted to give you as the reader some insight on what has worked for me to be ignited and strengthened in relationship and intimacy with my Daddy (ABBA). (Romans 8:15) This is something you don’t have to do verbatim; come from your heart and tell the Lord what you request of Him to meet these standards and requirements to have that awsome time and intimacy with Him. (Romans 8:38-39 - "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ) Prayer: Lord, You are the Rose of Sharon, Author and Perfector of Our Faith, Bread of Life and The Bridegroom. Lord, I want You to examine my heart (Jeremiah 17:7-10) so I can go with You, I want to be so close to You. (Isaiah 41:10) I do not care about anything except for being so close to You. (Psalms 73:28) Thing will come, I don’t have to worry about my needs because You will provide, (Genesis 22:14; Matt 6:33) just allow my heart to align with Your heart, Your ways and Your attributes so I can be with You and be an image of Who You are here in the earth realm. (Romans 8:17; Matt 7:7-8)

28

My prayer is to have You by my side always. (Joshua 1:5; Jeremiah 23:23) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight (Psalms 19:14), just to be closer to You Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen.
