– Knowing God Intimately - By Jim Feiker



4. Joshua - "a man in whom is my Spirit" (Numbers 27:18).
Result - Promoted to leadership, given wisdom from meditating on the Scriptures
(Joshua 1:8), given authority and courage from God to lead Israel into the
Promised Land (Joshua 1). Israel said to Joshua, "Only the Lord be with
you, as He was with Moses" (Joshua 1:18). People whom we lead need to be
assured that God is with us, that our lives are God-scented.

5. Caleb - "Who wholeheartedly followed the Lord" (Joshua 14).
Result - Finished strong in his walk with God and ministry to people
- He possessed the Land of Hebron that God promised him.
- He saw God's perspective and had confidence in God's promises.

6. David - "Man after God's own heart," "the Lord God is with Him."
Result - "In everything he did he had great success, for the Lord was with him"
(1 Sam. 18:14). God placed His hand on David.

7. Daniel - "The Spirit of God is in him," "...servant of the Living God, whom you
serve continually." 2 Kings says of Daniel - "...one highly esteemed by God..."
Result - God gave Daniel wisdom and ability to interpret dreams. Babylon
and Persia sought his God for he manifested God. God put his hand on Daniel
(indicated five times in Daniel 8-10). God touched Daniel for very specific things.

In summary - Results of intimately knowing Christ as our Passion in Life:

1. Understanding and knowing Him and His will (Proverbs. 2: 1-6). God reveals Himself to that man or woman who seeks and obeys Him (John 7:17, 14:21).

2. God places His hand on our life (Ezra 7:9-10). God's hand on our life is proportionate to the time spent in His presence.

3. As we walk in victory and intimacy with Him, He manifests His very presence, power,
character and fragrance to others His glory is revealed in us (2 Corinthians 2:14-16).
Are we God scented people? Do those to whom we minister know that we have been with
Jesus? "Those who are truly great in Christian service have invariably drawn
upon the unfailing resource of a rich devotional life." - Ralph Herring

4. God blesses us and makes us fruitful in character and ministry (John 15:1-5; Josh.
1:8-9). Abiding in Him results in the fruit of character and spiritual children.

5. God will bless our home and family (Psalm 112:1-3).

6. Through times of silence and reflection, we become sensitive to the Father's mind and heart. He gives us a keen sense of Himself, sharpens our perspective on eternity, gives us a pilgrim's heart and fills us with eternal pleasures (Psalm 16:11).

7. Wisdom and understanding comes through our lives to the nations around us (Proverbs 9:10; Deuteronomy 4:7).
