There is a place of deep intimacy with God Almighty where spirit calls unto spirit.

To experience a deeper dimension of God’s presence, your soul must hunger and thirst for God.

Intimacy with God is found only in the realm of the spirit
“As the hart [male red deer] panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?”
In the natural, the panting of the deer is an audible agonizing for the safety the waters provide when pursued by a predator. When the deer runs into the water, the predator can no longer detect its scent. In addition to finding safety from its enemies, the deer finds relief from thirst in the waters.
Intimacy with God is found only in the realm of the spirit. Spiritually, your process of discovering a deeper dimension of God’s presence involves longing, thirsting, and seeking. David wrote:
“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.” (Psalm 63:1-2)
There is a place of deep anointing, deep presence, and deep intimacy with God Almighty where “deep calleth unto deep” or spirit calls unto spirit. It is a place that is so pure that every part of your being is consumed by the presence of Almighty God; a deep place where there is perfect communion between your spirit and every dimension of God’s presence. Your soul is stirred and there is a breakthrough in the spirit as “deep calleth unto deep.” (Psalm 42:7)
It is at times like these that words become inadequate, because spoken words are the expression of the mind and not the soul. Words cease, and you stop asking. Only your heart can speak as it erupts in worship. There is perfect harmony, perfect oneness. As you bask in the glory of His awesome presence, your spirit begins to fellowship with Him, crying out, “Oh, that I might know Him! Not the things He gives, or what He imparts, but Him!”
Thanks a lot Benny. During prayers this morning, the Lord spoke the words of ps42:7 to me… And now going through your revelation, I found out that that’s the same reason why He gave me those words.
Hmmmm, am so overwhelmed. The Spirit of God is one. Remain blessed!
Pastor Benny Gunn I stumble across your words of revelation and encouragement and I must tell you, right at this very moment, it’s not that am tired of what God gives such as his gifts, anything that has to do with the last 2 sentences of your revelation but I want Him now more than anything else.
A just feel like something is missing or something and I know it must be Him Him Him and Him only. I don’t want nothing else Pastor.I just want Him right at this moment.
Am crying right now writing this short comment because I don’t want to just have what He can give or what He already done but I want Him.
So I hope it’s the best thing I can ask for in my situation right now.
THANK you and have a bless day.
This expressed the words that I couldn’t. Such a blessing and great insight on the working of the Holy Spirit. I thank God for the intimacy and His Call unto the deep.
This has brought greater insight to my experience with God last night.

YES.. THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME AS I FALL AWAY FROM MY SELF ABSORPTION. I WANT TO BLESS GOD’S PRECIOUS HEART. HE WANTS TO US TO SHARE IN HIS SUFFERINGS IN A PLACE WHERE HE CAN IMPART TO US HOW HE IS SUFFERING OVER HIS BRIDE, US. HE WANTS TO GET US IN A PLACE WHERE HE CAN HEAL OUR DAMAGED CONDITION AND RESTORE WITHIN US HIMSELF. OH I PRAY THAT WE SIMPLY INVITE HIM TO BEGIN THAT WORK. IT TOOK A STROKE FOR ME TO GET HOW MUCH I WANT TO PLEASE HIM. GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN US SUFFERING, YET SUFFERING IS THE ONE PLACE THAT CAN ACCOMPLISH IN US A CLEARNESS, A TRANSPARENCY THAT PUTS US IN HIS HEART. BLESS HIS HEART.
Wow! This is awesome!
