The Adam Relationship

Special Note: I feel it is important to  republish this article at this time. Relationship with is key to what is God doing this year and the years to come. Attached are several Prophetic Words for 2018.

As we know, God is restoring all things. When we say this, we are thinking of the restoration of the 5-fold ministry and gifts of the Spirit. Then, all members of the Body of Christ doing the work of the ministry.



 But, the Lord is restoring beyond those things. His will and purpose are to restore our relationship with Him. This relationship goes beyond the relationship that King David had, beyond what Joshua and Moses had, beyond what Enoch enjoyed. As wonderful as these relationships were, God wants to bring us back to the relationship that Adam had in the Garden of Eden.



  The Adam relationship a place of not only knowing the Will of God for our lives, not only knowing His Voice and seeing what He is doing and moving with Him but knowing Him intimately.  It is a place of knowing His footsteps and not only hearing His heartbeat but that we will know what it is to be in the center of His Heart.



The Call of Father God for each of us is to be in a relationship with Him. The purpose of sending His Son Jesus Christ and the giving us the Fullness of the Holy Spirit overflowing our lives is for us for us to have a relationship with Him.



  Sadly, many of us never even move beyond the basics of being saved and being filled with the Holy Spirit but there is a desire for more, but many never get to the more of God. The lack of relationship creates a sense of frustration in our spirits and eventually leads many to settle for what that have. There are others who attempt to do it in their strength. Often leading to a legalistic life of reading so much of Word of God and praying many hours a day. These things are good as tools and need to happen, but the Word without the Spirit and prayer without the Spirit lead only to an intellectual knowledge about the relationship with God.



 







So, how do we reach the relationship that God has purposed us and created us to be in with Him? This requires a shift in the way we do things for God. It requires a shift in our attitude about our relationship with God, our Father. We must realize that relationship is more than what we do for Him.  



   The relationship comes from spending time with one another not just in the doing of things.  The time factor is key. Sadly, many do what has been mentioned above, read the Bible, some study the Bible (there is a difference), and they pray. This is where most of us stumble; we make prayer a one-way litany of our needs with a little praise and thanksgiving to top it off. Then, we are out the door, expecting an answer, but never taking time to listen or spend time with the one we are praying.



   Listening is the beginning of a relationship. Psalm 46:10 the NRSV, NIV, ESV, KJV all translate this way, “Be still, and know that I am God.” The NASB says,” Cease striving and know that I am God” and the AMP version, “Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.” In all of these translations, God is saying to us to “stop” realize Who I Am.



How do we be still and start listening? I started, eight years ago, by stopping for 5 minutes at the start of each day, now this means turning off all distractions in our lives, TV, computers, tablets and yes cell phones, and inviting God to come. I would say this: “Father I want to be with you, come and be with me.” Then, I would wait, thinking on God, with the expectation that He would come. Takes some training to keep your mind from wandering off to other things, but you can do it as I did.



 Since then my time with the Father has grown and grown, it how goes well beyond the 5 minutes, it is developing into more and more intimate relationship with God.



  It has become a knowing that God is with me every day, all day and this fact makes my life exciting and an Adventure in the Spirit, daily.



   Salvation opens the way. Being filled with Holy Spirit gives us the power. Studying the Word of God gives us knowledge and prayer start the communication. Taking time to invite God to come and be with us, waiting and listening for Him are the first steps in the restoration of the Adam Relationship in our lives.



 There is much more to come. You can begin to experience this relationship with God. God wants you to have it, all you have to do is willing to spend time with Him.
