Intimacy and God



I read that nature is the countenance of God. Acts 4:32   Big words mess up stuff sometimes. Countenance meant facial expression or simply expression of. 
 

Matthew 18:19 is the "Agree as touching" verse ...
This came to my mind some time later as I was intrigued,  mesmerized by the properties of the mercury in a cup from a broken glass thermometer. I swirled the little perfectly round BB’s in the cup and they appeared like little solids until they touched (agree as touching) and became one big glob of the same substance. Could this be how the Father and the Son are? Of one accord—“if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father?” Yet they were separate little things a moment ago. Could this be like the trinity example of water being  vapor, liquid, ice? Three forms but the same substance (faith is called a substance)? He sits at the right hand of the Father and …He doesn’t know the hour but the Father knows…Jesus is a separate being but He IS God--in a way we cannot comprehend since there is very little to demonstrate heavenly things to us. I believe He is God like in Proverbs 8 around verse 21 or so when Jesus says that HE was “brought forth out of everlasting.” I see that the Father was doing the creating and doing it for the Son.  He is the “only begotten Son” so is this His heavenly birth-- being brought from the bosom of the Everlasting Father? He is just a piece of God the Father—and yet has his own choice.

 

Deep Thought:  “Mankind is a mystery. Basically it is made up of two separate words,  mank and ind. .....What do these words mean? It is a mystery, and that’s why so is mankind.”

 

HA HA  just wanted to lighten things up since I can be heavy on the brain sometimes and if we do not understand earthly things, HOW oh HOW shall we understand heavenly things?  

 Back to my trying to find the knowledge of God (hmm…I wonder if He wants me telling this?)

Now this will tie in a little fancy like. Hugging. From where did it originate? I went through this phase where I HATED being hugged, by most everyone. I was 18 or 19. It really bothered me when I read a bumper sticker, “Have you hugged your child today?” ehhhhk. Who started this little overrated ritual I wondered? Why do people feel the need to get all up in one’s personal space? Why do people even value this? I could understand running from the airplane to your long lost best friend or your found dog running toward you but the day to day stuff like at church or in WalMart just irked me to no end. The fake hug—ehhhk. That’s those really light ones.



 What does this skin merging have to do with mercury or God or intimacy? I assumed maybe hugging was universal. That maybe it began with Adam and Eve. unlearned. not fake.  Perhaps it was natural and if so, what did it mean? The flesh gets nothing out of it or at least mine didn't. It seems to be a spiritual/emotional thing. It made me think that real hugs that were unlearned must have been the attempt to get soul substances together into one big glob or “body.” A church body in the Spirit, even? Now I do not think we will all be physically ONE (even though Jesus prayed we would be one as He and the Father are one) in Heaven but that we will have our own body—but maybe it will be so intimate that we can like spirits vapor into and out of one another like how Jesus walked through a door or how spirits walk through matter. Besides all that—I am getting to the point of two becoming one. Agreeing as touching. Best Friends. We are the temple and the body of Christ. Lastly I believe hugging is the act of pressing our souls together to get them as close as possible but our unglorified flesh gets in the way—a block. This is where marriage and sex become a gift and beautiful:

 

Sex is a way for a physical representation of oneness. She is vulnerable accepting and trusting him inside of her own body—the closest a human being can get to the raw you. But God can be inside your heart, dwelling. Husband cannot touch her heart like God can.

 

So you see pornography is nothing more than perverted idolatry. Married sex is a physical picture we can understand about the specialness of oneness and intimacy two can share like the spiritual (not physical) oneness of Heavenly things.   Ever been in love? Your favorite person—you want more and more of them until there is no way to hug any tighter or no more hours in the day to spend together. You cannot get enough of this person and you want to be CLOSER. Sex was God’s answer.   His gift or countenance for us to behold to understand spiritual oneness.  

Before you think I am off my rocker or worse a perv—God has a pattern of making a lot of physical things to represent spiritual things. I happen to believe unashamedly that sex is one of those things. I have read that the Jews teach their children the Song of Solomon and its not “dirty” like we over here see it. Thanks Hollywood, burn in hell. 

Personal Experience with God:

Sitting in a church in Mobile, AL…I was praying. “God please give me an example to follow..a good Christian man instead of these I have been with.” I heard in my thoughts a thought that wasn’t my own: “I AM.” 
How strange and final.

That was my answer for the request of a fiancé?

Okay—God wanted me to focus on Him. So I choose to go to a Christian College and focus on Him. Shortly after meeting my Christian suitemates, this comes across from their room to ours and I believe whoever wrote it was inspired by God just like the Holy Bible because it confirmed what I experienced! Here Goes:

 

Everyone longs to give himself completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But, God, to a Christian says, “No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone, until giving yourself totally to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop PLANNING, stop WISHING, and ALLOW Me to unfold the most thrilling plan existing—one you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please, allow Me to give it to you.

    You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things, keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM.       
Keep listening and learning the things that I tell you. Just wait, that’s all. Don’t be anxious. Do not look at the things you think you want. Look off and up to ME or you will miss what I want to show you. AND THEN, when you are ready, (I am working this moment to have you both ready at the same time) and until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you will not be able to experience the Love that demonstrates your relationship with Me and this perfect love. And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love (I AM Love).    I want you to be able to see that your earthly relationship in the flesh is a parallel I have created to show your relationship with Me in the Spirit. And, I want you to enjoy concretely and materially the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with Myself.  
Know that I love you…utterly.
I AM the Almighty God. Believe it and be satisfied. 

Maybe when we get to Heaven, there will be millions of best friends because we can be one or separate and we will all be of one accord/one mind and purpose—INTIMACY!!!
