– Knowing God Intimately - By Jim Feiker


4. Healthy relationships are vital in affecting our hunger for God. Keep short accounts with God and people over sin and offenses (Acts 24:16). Keep your marriage relationship alive and romantic. Develop replenishing relationships with people who have a passion for God and where there is not a ministry agenda.

5. Our life mission statement should include our passion to know Jesus Christ. Is it a vital part of our mission agency or church mission statement? An example of such a life mission statement is, “They knew their God intimately, and believed God for multiplying laborers, who are now in every nation of the world”

6. Soak yourself in the Scriptures developing a Scriptural bank account. Are we intensively studying the Scriptures or is our approach more devotional or for ministry preparation? Proverbs 2:1:5 - Seek a Bible Study partner.

7. Set aside time periodically for extended communion with the Father…time to reflect and drive down truth into our spiritual blood system, to evaluate our life and ministry, to refuel our spiritual tanks and to rehearse the works of God, (God-sightings and His handprints in our lives and the lives of others).

8. Engage on a regular basis with a spiritual coach who is older, who has walked with God and can encourage spiritual growth and intimacy with God - an older mentor in Christ to whom we give permission to probe and challenge our spiritual growth and journey.

9. Join a regular accountability group, Bible study or care fellowship where we have given permission to others to ask the hard questions about our spiritual life, marriage and family, and relationships with people.

10. Pray with our mate on a regular basis. 1 Peter 3:7 says that if we are not in intimate relationship with our mate, it will hinder our growing in intimacy with God.
