The intimacy at home Deacon Sergio Nitsch Guatemala, April 18th Year of Abundance
We are living a special time, in which eschatologically everything is being fulfilled according to the Scriptures because our Redeemer is at the door; let us remember that the Word says “…lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near…” Maranatha, Jesus Christ is coming! And that is an unbreakable truth. When we talk about intimacy it refers to some deep and important things which not everyone has access but only certain people have that privilege. There are cases in which that intimacy generates a physical resemblance. Notwithstanding, unfortunately there are marriages that have not experienced that intimacy in their homes because of difficult situations they got through, but the Lord who loves us in such way that He allowed His son to poured out His blood for us, has given us a new opportunity to restart our relationship and recover the lost years. David Wilkerson once said: “I blame pastors for their soft preach, at softening the sin. One day they will stand before the Throne of Judgment of Christ and they will have to respond not only because of the musicians that were under their care but for those Christians young they once hurt and destroyed. Not hesitating I declare that those cowards ministries that prefer being loved and honored before being rejected for preaching the truth, taking this generation to deep spiritual darkness”. Source of reference: http://www.revistaavivamiento.org/revistas/tinieblas.htm That talks to us about coward ministries that take advantage of their sheep taking them to the edge and letting them get lost under the shadow of the altar. However, we are being guided but the truth which is Jesus Christ through the preaching of the perfect and pure Word. The word “intimacy” G316, according to the Vine dictionary means: “The most close relationship which by the natural ties can exist, means: loyalty, love, heart, respect, purity, clean, cover, close contact, help, support, honesty, understanding, help, empathy, the deepest thoughts, being alone with that loved person”. If we want to have intimacy with Jesus Christ our beloved, let us be alone with Him, with the purpose to have a special moment with Him, with this we will have power to defeat any obstacle that comes in our way. According to the Larousse Dictionary “intimacy” means: “A very close friendship. Live in intimacy. Live the most intimacy with a friend. In the intimacy of his conscience. Something that takes part of the essence of a thing. A very close friendship that joins two people. Besides the intimacy between spouses, the intimacy can also be expressed from a father to their children, this is a confidence that develop between a being that depends from another and from who is expected protection. If we make an analogy of the time we are living, with the time of the returning of the Son, the Word says that it will be like in the days of Noah, that are times where there were aberrations, and today we see cases where parents attempt against their children losing the intimacy.
In Lk 10:38-42 KJ2000 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But

Martha was cumbered about with much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. The Word says that this family received the King of Kings, and surely if we had lived something like that we would bow to the feet of the Lord just like Mary did to hear His Word; however, we see that Martha was cumbered with the house shores, but Jesus told her that her sister had taken the best part. With this we understand that the Lord says that it is ok that we academy prepare to face life, because we have to give a good testimony but we need to be alight wherever we go, which is why we can careless the intimacy with God because He will reward us with wisdom and intelligence to take advantage of this knowledge. Psa 25:14 KJ2000 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. Psa 25:14 PDT The Lord keeps HIS PERSONAL FRIENSHIP to those who reverently fear Him, is to those who He shows the meaning of His convenant. Psa 25:14 NBD being friend of yours, oh God, is privilege of those who honor You, only with such you share the secrets of your covenant. Let us search have intimacy with the Lord, but not in a religious way, because the religion kills. Let us joy with our soul and body through the spirit before the presence of the Lord who is our King and Heavenly Father, as David use to, because the Lord is searching worshipers in spirit and truth, which is why we must dispose our hearts to worship, praise and bless Him while He pours out His Spirit. Let us joy, be eager to have intimacy with the Lord to hear His voice, He is the only one who matters. Psa 26:2 KJ2000 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my heart and my mind. Psa 26:2 SRV Put me on test, OH LORD, and prove me; try my kidneys and my heart. Psa 26:2 NBD Put me on test, OH LORD, and prove me; try also my reasons and my feelings. We will be honor the Lord if our walk is straight, and also with our goods, because where is our treasure; there will be our heart, in such way that at examine our thoughts and heart He could see our love for Him Psa 51:6 KJ2000 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom. Psa 51:6 NBD Behold, you love truth in the intimacy: and teach me to be wise in the deepest of me. Psa 51:6 Behold, you desire truly heart, and in the intimacy You have given me wisdom.

We have sinned because that is the human nature that we inherit; however it is necessary to understand that the Lord abhors the perverse, and the perversity is sized at trying to change what is good for what is wrong and accepting the committed aberrations. Let us see that the earth cries for justice, because of the perversity that is everywhere, and a sample of that are the catastrophes that happen around the world. The time of the end will be like the time of Noah, and the Word reveals us that that time of Noah he took care of his family to get into the ark together, and so his wife and children were saved of the destruction, which is why we need to take care of ours, because this is the time of the coming of the Lord, although before that we will live the time of Joseph, where the abundance is manifested in the midst of the shortage. The Lord is at the doors!
