Grew up in a Christian home. Struggled to come to a place of commitment and total surrender. Saved at a youth camp  and returned singing ‘Because He lives.’ Water baptized and made a public confession of faith. Attended Sunday school, church and youth. However because of hurts closed to the Lord and people. Never grew spiritually for 6 years. Stood up and surrendered all. Got glimpses of my destiny and special joy. Bradley felt he knew the Lord for the first time as he had opened up to the Lord. Began enjoying intimacy– defined as ‘In to me see.’ Began to have the joy knowing the destiny He had for Bradley through prayer.

 

 

1Samuel 1 Samuel 2:11, 18, 3:1 and 3:7 we see that Samuel ministered to the Lord, but he had not let the Lord Minister to him and reveal His Word to him. Intimacy takes time to develop. There are some definite and unique steps to move into intimacy: Curious Inquirer - in the crowd not totally surrendered. Casual acquaintance–Knowing a little bit more about the Lord or people. Friendship –Spend more time together, asking questions and allow two-way communications as we enter into a session. Courtship –Time consuming commitment, venerable and greater jot to be together. Commitment– Surrender so much more to your lover and you give all. Each level takes more time, commitment and surrender. Covenant–Give all. Not a partnership, but a complete merger. Become one with the heartbeat of the Lord. Intimacy– Enjoy the full benefits of intimacy.
