Podcasts about intimacy with god

In Revelation 19, heaven erupts with praise—the wedding of the Lamb has come. In this Sunday we explore the biblical image of marriage as a picture of God's covenant love. This isn't just future hope—it's a present invitation. We are called to live as a prepared bride, formed by intimacy, faithfulness, and joy in the waiting. In a world of distraction and disillusionment, this vision reorients us toward love that lasts and a future that's secure.

In this message, we reflect on the depth of God's self-sacrificial love—a love not only for our salvation but also for intimate fellowship with Him. We discuss how doubts, fears, and negative thoughts can hinder that intimacy and how God's love is not something to be earned but received. Through personal experiences, we explore themes of forgiveness, parenting, marriage, and the daily fight to trust God's truth over the enemy's lies. Together, we are reminded to receive God's unconditional love and allow it to overflow in every part of our lives.

Ezekiel 1:25-2:1; Revelation 1:9-17While these types of experiences seem rare, they can occur today, not only to great prophets but those that consider themselves ordinary believers. They are especially crafted by God to produce “Awe”, or what we call the “Fear of the Lord” which is a foundational experience (Proverb 1:7, 9:10) which aids the believer to develop “Compassionate wisdom.” This type of experience usually induced by either theophany or angelic appearance can be shocking to the surprised recipient but it is given to produce awe of God. This experience prepares the believer for a very challenging call and mission. This type of experience can also resolve the subtle evil of becoming “over-familiar” with God: all daddy and no Lord; which may lead to a primarily egocentric relationship, where God becomes an easy broker or a soft touch: Remember that in the Lord's prayer “your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” come before Give us today our daily bread etc. God has for all of us His will to be done on earth and sometimes it is so challenging that He gives such shocking experiences. It helps produce awe, respect, reverence for God that surpasses the normal human responses like fear because of the difficult call and challenge to their faith. And as in Paul's life, God given radical manifestation began his ministry and continued throughout his ministry (Acts 9:23:11; 27:23)Our key passages (Ephesians 1:25-2:1; Revelation 1:9-17) Continue to illustrate the humanly uncomfortable manifestations for God's prophets' but what begins as a shock ends with wisdom, confidence in God and His plan.Usually these shocking manifestation of God occur when God's macro/major plans are revealed: Other examples are easy to locate in Scripture.  Abraham's call in Genesis 12:3 “Where he fell face down” before God's revelation.Moses Burning Bush experience in Exodus 3, The whole chapter records Moses shock and human reticenceIsaiah's reaction in Isaiah 6:1-5 especially verse 5, “woe to me!” I am ruined… because eyes have seen the king, the Lord almighty” Remember also Job 42:1-5)Mary's response to the angel Gabriel, Luke 1:29-30 “... Mary was greatly troubled and confused at the angel's words'The disciples at Jesus's transfiguration (Matthew 17:6 “When the disciples heard the voice of the Lord, declaring Jesus as His son, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified!While these experiences themselves seem to be far from a blessing they all lead to a great respect for God and HIs personal call in their lives, an “Awe” and confidence that He who calls us is able to empower us to get it done (Philippians 1:6) a shock experience that leads to glory.Finally these experiences can be distinguished from an Ananias and Sapphira type of experience. Which illustrates a judgment from God. John the revelator's “falling at the risen Jesus's feet”, as though dead that produced great fear” was only a prelude to His call that produced great awe before God: John was “awestruck” before Jesus and His great Revelation. He received an experience while in prison at the island of Patmos, to encourage him to continue to see and write God's final Revelation. John still had a purpose for the Kingdom & God had not abandoned him, even in prison.Amen 

To follow Jesus is to reorient your entire life around him. It's not self-love, absolute freedom, or chasing desires—it's self-denial, binding commitment, and daily surrender. He invites us not just to believe, but to walk closely with him into true abundance.

By Chuck Smith - God's people are being transformed into the bride of Christ.

At the wedding in Cana Jesus revealed His heart and intentions toward mankind. He used the stone pots and turned water into wine. The stone pots were durable and not porous like the clay pots. They wouldn't add impurities to the wine. If you are willing God will change you from clay to stone so you can hold His Spirit.

If you love someone, you want to spend time with them. If you want to have intimacy with God, you'll need to spend time with his son, Jesus.

For a lot of people, Revelation is the Bible's great mystery—full of wild images and swirling predictions, often left to collect dust or to stir up arguments about the end times. But beneath all the confusion, Revelation also speaks to something deeply human: our ache for intimacy, our struggle with loneliness, and our longing to know that God is closer than we think. Today I'm joined by Dr. Shane J. Wood - professor, theologian, and author of Thinning the Veil. Shane has spent decades steeped in Revelation, not as a codebook for the future, but as a guide for living with honesty and presence right now. His approach is all about transformation: what does it mean to let the way of Jesus reshape our identity, our relationships, and the way we move through a world that often feels disconnected? In this conversation, we dive into how loneliness touches us all, how the presence of God can feel just out of reach, and how the message of Revelation invites us to draw near—to God and to one another. We talk about the cycles of power and fear that keep us apart, and how worship and vulnerability can open the door to real, embodied intimacy. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your isolation, or if faith can make a difference in our deepest places of longing, I invite you to listen as we peel back the layers and look for the thin places—where heaven and earth meet, and where we discover what it means to be fully known and fully loved. So join us.Shane J. Wood (PhD, University of Edinburgh) is professor of New Testament and Its Origins at Ozark Christian College. In addition to speaking at churches and conferences worldwide, Shane produces a variety of audio, video, and written resources available at shanejwood.com. He is the author of multiple books, with his most recent book entitled "Thinning the Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation" (IVP).

Jesus isn't looking for enthusiastic admirers. He's looking for committed followers. Luke 9:23 tells us we must take up our cross daily and follow Jesus. The cross isn't just a burden, or a challenge. The cross meant certain death.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In the newest What's On Your Mind, host Scott Langdon sits down with Dr. Jerry L. Martin for a deep and heartfelt conversation about divine growth, spiritual tension, and the unfolding mystery of God's nature.As they revisit God's revelation to the ancient prophet Zoroaster, the discussion opens with Jerry's experience of spiritual anxiety, and how his body reacted to the unknown before divine communication began. This leads into a powerful exploration of how God Himself describes being not all-powerful, not all-knowing, and not all-good; at least not in the absolute sense. Instead, God is growing, evolving, and seeking fullness through relationship, through the world, and through us.Through Zoroaster's divine encounter, God comes to see His “other side.” A concept that challenges traditional theology but resonates deeply with those who see spirituality as a journey, not a fixed set of beliefs. Scott and Jerry explore themes like duality, good and evil, panentheism, and the reality of imperfection in divine creation.Drawing from metaphors in music, embodiment, and human love, the conversation touches on Beethoven, spiritual embodiment, and how meaning is co-created through lived experience. This episode will speak to anyone curious about the divine, questioning inherited beliefs, or wondering if God can grow with us.
