New Closeness

Steeped in the Word

May 23, 2025 – 5/23/2025

  5 – The Grace of God

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.  Psalm 23:5 NLT

New Closeness\n

Like John at the last supper, people who live their life with their head on the chest of the Lord, in rhythm with the heart of God, are people with great revelation.\n

People who are after revelation are bold, childlike and prepared to go wherever He sends them.\n

Now, revelation doesn\u2019t just say, \u201cIt\u2019s out there!\u201d Revelations says, \u201cGo get it!\u201d A revelation of the Word of God is not the endgame of our walk. It\u2019s merely the beginning.\n

We\u2019ve all been there. We\u2019re reading the Word and suddenly, the Lord breathes upon the scriptures, and they come alive! We have a new understanding of God or our next step in the journey. The same thing happens with nature or the words of a song or sermon. All of a sudden, God is talking just to you! Something clicks within your soul. It moves down to your spirit and you \u201cget it.\u201d Supernatural revelation!\n

Now, revelation is not given just to add another wrinkle to your brain. God doesn\u2019t care if you know about Him. What He wants is for you to know Him through personal experience. So, revelation is an invitation to step into what God says can be.\n

He invites you to take a step forward in His great plan for you. Revelation is the key to unlocking barriers so you can move forward in life and relationship with Him.\n

And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, \u201cTruly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.\u201d\n

\u2013 Matthew 18:2-4","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">New Closeness

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

My childlike heart and trust in the Lord keeps taking me into a more intimate setting where the Spirit of Revelation comes upon me in a new and fresh way.  The Lord has drawn me in where I know more and more about Him.  Oh, What a Savior!
