I've heard so many women of late ask this same question, "how do I developto a deeper relationship with God?"
I need an encounter with Him, beyond the small groups, the socials, beyong the isolation of this past year. Like a butterfly emerging from a cocooon, I long for new fresh life with the Person of Jesus Christ.
And so do you, because you told me.
Maybe you feel like this- I read a couple of verses from a bible app, I jump into my day. It all falls flat, I'm still triggered and troubled and there has to be more.
Here's the good news, there is always something more in the ways of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit has not ceased to be active, alive and working. But how do I position myself to hear from Him, walk with Him talk to Him and have Him tell me that I am His own?
We are longing for intimacy in this hour. A fresh wind of His Spirit always starts with prayer, the heartfelt cry, the corporate expresssion that is so missing today in our churches. So it is with our "quiet times" that have become rote and rushed. Have you noticed that God is not in a hurry and His ways are past our powers of reasoning?
Today I am asking you to take a baby step forward and carve out a time of aloneness in a beautiful place, a park bench, a prayer closet, a blanket and a cup of tea on a quiet beach or pond and sit on Hebrews chapter 4, stay with the chapter for a day, a week, a month and put away the distractions for a while.
Let's check back with each other in a week!
