John 5:19
1. The most profound blessing of intimacy is the knowledge of God. When you have knowledge of God, faith will not be a struggle. Faith makes it your turn as well as your time for a divine intervention. It will always be unto you according to your faith, not according to His power. Not according to the size of your need. Not according to how much tears you have shed. Without faith, it is not your turn. You remain on the waiting list.
2. Spiritual serenity. Phil 4:6-7. What God gives you after prayer is not just the request you asked for, but His peace. God may be silent, but not inactive. You have calmness in crisis. You know you are not abandon of forgotten.
3. Fearlessness, Holy boldness. Psalm 23:4. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. Hebrew 13:5b. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6. So we may boldly say: The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” It’s the secret behind men who takes risks for the kingdom. Confidence is when you are full of the word. Cocky is when you are full of yourself. Boldness is when you are full of the Holy Spirit. Bold face is when you are full of deceit.
4. You get superhuman results. Mark 16:20. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. Mark 3:14. Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach.😄He WALKED with them before He WORKED with them. We will have abiding fruits. They were first His regular companions before they became preachers.
5. The sheep is only safe when it stays close to the shepherd. We are as sheep in the midst of wolves. The sheep that strays far from the shepherd will become dinner for Wolves. For protection, preservation and provision, the sheep must stay close to the shepherd.

6. We will know His voice and His leading. John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 😄In a very noisy world, one of your greatest assets is the ability to discern God’s voice. You are one instruction away from your breakthrough.
7. Sensitivity to opportunities and open doors. We may look and not see correctly unless He touches our eyes.
8. That is where oracles are made. That is where we learn the fear of God. 2 Chron 18:13. And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever my God says, that I will speak.”
