Intimacy with the Savior

Intimacy with the Savior

I was reading a prayer devotional I rather like quite a lot the other morning and came across a quote the author placed from someone else, that was referencing “intercourse” with the savior. That threw me quite frankly. As I sat in my rocker thinking about all the different definitions of that word intercourse (and there are a few), the Holy Spirit spoke and said, “No, none of those will do”. Instead, He told me the true meaning, the context of the word when used in the same sentence with Jesus, Yeshua our Savior. Holy Spirit said, “Think of a spiritual inter mingling of heart and mind, a complete knowing of thoughts and emotions, of will and knowledge between you and Yeshua. An awareness without barriers, complete freedom of access, this is true intimacy with Yeshua.” I began to sob, just the very concept, the possibility of that closeness. To be able to touch that beautiful mind with my own and have His enter into mine is a breath-taking thought. Can you imagine it? I want to be able to. To sense my spirit being touched by the holiness of God, to have every worldly thought wiped from my head and only the thoughts of God invading my space….. Yes, I want that. I want that intimacy. I want that inter mingling of holiness running through my heart and mind. I want to know what Yeshua is thinking, what He is doing right now, what He and Father are planning today, tomorrow even next year. I would love such an intimacy that there were no barriers ever, that nothing in me or in my life would ever block or get in the way of me knowing Him fully. I love it when Holy Spirit shines the light of God on a thing, a word, a situation and we then can see it for what it really is, the way God sees it. The mind of God is so perfect, it is limitless, our minds are finite, stuck in the crud that society has pumped into them. Yet Father’s mind is infinite, it never runs out of ideas, of creativity, it is clean and Holy and good. I wish I could crawl inside His mind and stay there forever, don’t you! My prayer, is that Father, Yeshua and Holy Spirit will invade me like a conquering army, take out everything that doesn’t belong and replace it with as much of themselves as my heart and mind can hold. I want to go home one day and be able to lift my head and face my Father without shame. If at all possible, I would like to bring Him joy and bring a smile to His beautiful Holy face.
