Wazzzzzup Bizlog Worldz. Here, back on the internets after a very nice Thanksgiving break. This week we had the pleasure of having Shay Robbins talk about the subject of intimacy, intimacy with God of course. The first day we discussed the issue of intimacy with God and strategies on how the devil is trying to make our culture shallow so that we cannot have an deep and thus intimate walk with the Lord like it was originally, in the Garden of Eden. The second day, we talked about how the Holy Spirit allows us to have a relationship with God without a mediator, such a priest. The third day, today, he talked about how spiritual disciplines, such as, solitude, prayer, meditation, fasting and study can help us have successful intimacy with God. On the first day Shay established this quote, "God never runs from us because of my sin and shame." This was very powerful for me. Everyone in the world has sin, any action or thought that separates us from God, in their life, including me. So if God never runs away from me, even when I do the things that separate me from Him, then that means that he will never leave me and God is always with me. Powerful. But wait there's more! If God never leaves us even when we do the worst of sins then this must mean that he wants to have a relationship with me and everyone else and all we have to do is accept Him and seek Him, He has already accepted us. On the second day we discussed about the Holy Sprit. In the times before Christ had died, the covenant between God and man is called the old covenant and required the high priest of Israel to annually enter into the temple of Jerusalem and go into the Holy of Holys and give God an animal sacrifice, to cleanse the sins of the nation of Israel. I say all of this because now, after Christ has died, we are in the new covenant and we have the Holy Spirit which lives inside believers and guides us to God and helps us have a more intimate relationship with God. This spoke to me on how much effort God put put into having a relationship with me. On the third day, Shay closed out his session on the topic of intimacy with discussing five spiritual disciplines on how to have a successful and intimate relationship with God. These disciplines as stated above are, solitude, prayer, meditation, fasting and study. While all these disciplines are fantastic, study stood out to me. In conclusion, Shay Robbins brought insight to a topic that is an essential part in a relationship with God, and I am thankful for that.
