A Layman's Thoughts » Larry http://blog.eiss.net a layman's thoughts on Christianity, religion, & theology... and a few other things Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:09:25 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Intimacy With Jesus http://blog.eiss.net/2008/07/01/intimacy-with-jesus/ http://blog.eiss.net/2008/07/01/intimacy-with-jesus/#comments Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:10:33 +0000 Larry http://blog.eiss.net/?p=61 иконографияПравославни икониSong of Solomon 4:9-10

Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

My sister, my spouse! This jumped off the page to me and the Spirit began bringing other Scriptures to my mind and showing me a tiny bit about the intimacy of the relationship He wants to have with us. It’s amazing! Listen to how He sees us in Intimacy With Christ

Listen to my latest message, Stop Trying, to learn more.  Walk in freedom, joy, and peace!

Every good and perfect gift is from above, but there is more to it than that. In Him we live and move and have our being. If you’re feeling down or stressed, the answer isn’t shopping or eating, or drinking, or any other thing that comforts the flesh. The answer is The Source.

Listen and be freed.

Grace and peace in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I hope you enjoy this one.

What is the World Coming To?

I hope you find it encouraging.

Since I wrote them I have felt that I really did not say everything that was on my heart. Therefore I have decided to rewrite them and post new versions. This entry is simply to make you aware of my plan so that you realize that the similarities are purposeful.
