Intimacy is what FATHER desires with HIS Sons and Daughters.
There should be no distance in our relationship with FATHER.
Paul expressed this desire for intimacy when wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 13:
4 Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.
5 Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.
6 Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.
7 Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.
We see the fruit of perfect Love so that we can not only seek to walk in such maturity, but to also assess our current level of fruitfulness in this area.
8 Love never stops loving. It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten.
9 Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial,
10 but when Love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways.
12 For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood.
13 Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and Love—yet Love surpasses them all. So above all else, let Love be the beautiful prize for which you run.
In the 1970’s, faith was the predominant message preached and many believers latched onto this move and attempted to work the faith system to accumulate stuff. They failed to see the motivation of FATHER behind the message of faith for most were too immature to realize that Love needed to be the motivating force, not faith. Some went bankrupt as a result of misguided teaching. Many cried in their pillows at night. Others failed to be healed as they attempted to work the system without the motivation of Agape Love. The adversary worked his deception and the faith message was tainted and ridiculed in many circles. However, the Remnant was not moved by the partial message for they understood Father’s Love for His Children. They pressed in even more so.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:
12 So then faith eliminates the distinction between Jew and non-Jew, for He is the same Lord for all people. And He has enough Treasures to lavish generously upon all who call on Him. 13And it’s true:
“Everyone who calls on the Lord’s Name
will experience new life.”
14 But how can people call on Him for help if they’ve not yet believed? And how can they believe in one they’ve not yet heard of? And how can they hear the message of life if there is no one there to proclaim it? 15And how can the message be proclaimed if messengers have yet to be sent? That’s why the Scriptures say:
How welcome is the arrival
of those proclaiming the joyful news of peace
and of good things to come!
16 But not everyone welcomes the good news, as Isaiah said:
Lord, is there anyone who hears
and believes our message?
17 Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One, (Jesus, The Word Who was made flesh).
Paul expresses the need to spread The Gospel to those who haven’t heard It. How can they experience Agape Love unless we expose them to The Word made flesh?
Servias Ministries is in the midst of publishing a work written by a Beloved Brother who combined the four Gospels in chronological order and provided a commentary as led by The Holy Spirit. We currently have an experienced editor in Australia working on the technical corrections. Once she finishes, we will review the work in preparation for publication. The Words of Jesus are the most important Words spoken on the earth and we will do our part to spread The Gospel. Father will provide the funds and avenues for distribution and we look forward to what HE has in mind!
Love promotes intimacy with Our Heavenly Father and Jesus’ Words pointed to Father’s desire for intimacy with His Children. Let us remove the distance between Him and His many Children.
