PURSUE INTIMACY WITH GOD

“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Genesis 5:24 (KJV)

God is doing new things. Things are not going to be what you used to know. Levels are changing. We are in the season of acceleration! There will be overtaking, recovery, restoration, and lifting. But people must be aligned with what God is doing. You have to be aligned and positioned so that you can take that which God has already perfected in eternity that is manifesting even now.

God’s desire for His children right from creation is not for benefits but for intimacy. Yet benefit has been prioritized. His intention all along has always been for intimacy. Intimacy will produce results but when you begin to follow the benefit rather than the main purpose of why He saved you, then you got it backward. What God is doing these days is realigning and repositioning us so that we can maximize what He has purposed for each one of us. But unfortunately, today many have been seduced into thinking that it is benefits that we are called for. The benefit will come but the benefit is not the key reason and purpose of living.

What do I mean by benefit? I am talking about your healing, your prosperity, the house you want to build, the good career you want to have, the cars you want to drive, your marriage, and everything that makes you successful. The pursuit of these things is not the intention of God for us originally. If you get this revelation you will be free from stress, frustration, and anxiety. And things will be happening in your life in quick succession because you are aligned. When you are aligned there are things that are naturally put in place for you.

So many people are struggling and running from one end to the other and sweating and unable to actualize what God has purposed for them because of a lack of alignment.
