The Sound of Intimacy.

Lately, I’ve come to realize that no matter how silent you may seem, your voice makes a sound in the realm of the Spirit. In fact, the strength of your declaration — even in saying, “In Jesus’ name” — is deeply rooted in your intimacy with God.

God is our Father. Like an earthly father, He provides what we need to be taken care of. But when it comes to the deeper desires of our hearts, He reserves them for those whose hearts truly pant after Him.

What does your heart pant after?
What moves you?
Why do you really desire the things you’re asking for?

We are all created in the image of God, each designed to reveal a unique dimension of Him. But how can we manifest that dimension if we do not seek Him daily, aligning ourselves with His direction? Without divine alignment, we risk hearing what isn’t needed and chasing what God never intended for our lives.

Scripture reminds us:

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” — Proverbs 14:12

The Adamic nature — the nature of fallen man— doesn’t have the capacity to lead us into true life. It compels us to pursue what seems good in our own eyes, often outside of God's plan. But God's way only becomes evident when we surrender — when we say, “Take it all, Lord. My life, my plans, my mind, my ears, my perception — use them as You will.”

If we truly desire intimacy with God, we must be willing to lay aside every weight and simply come hungry — hungry to know Him, not just to get from Him. Intimacy is built in the place of prayer. Not just prayer filled with requests, but a prayer that seeks the heart of the Giver. Constant requesting without truly knowing the Giver is manipulation, not relationship — and that posture is not of God.

In these end times, God is calling us deeper — into a place of intimacy, a place of seeking His will and His plans, a place of building altars for Him. Yes, we’ve been given the mandate to dominate (Genesis 1:26), but to walk in consistent dominion, you must know the One who gave the mandate. It is He who gives the power to rule.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” — Genesis 1:26

So today, come to Him and say:
“Jesus, I align with Your plans. I align with Your purpose. Teach me how to truly live, that I may not live outside what You’ve written concerning me.”

I align, and I ask, Holy Spirit, mold me. Bring forth the best version of me. I know the fire will come, but I will not be burnt. I know the issues of life will arise, but I ask for wisdom to respond rightly. I choose to grow in the knowledge of You.

Heavenly Father, today I say, Yes — to Your instructions, to Your path.
I choose you.
