Intimacy of Christs Blood

Jesse outlining a Bob Gladstone Sermon (June 7th, 2005)

This isn't meant to make you feel guilty if in any way it may, don't let it. Just receive the facts of the wonders God gave for us.

If the wealth of God is really in his substance, then what was really going on when Jesus shed his blood? He has human blood just like we do, difference is he had the DNA of God in it, the seed of a nation, the real Adam. Can you give something more intimate and sacred than your blood? In a covenant marriage a man gives his seed to his woman, that is the peak of intimacy between man and woman.

But there is a greater intimacy, when a man gives his blood for his nation. That wasn't just a self sacrifice that was the deep of God inside his body, it was the wealth of his substance that he let out and pour out for us. It was very personally to him. And what about when God pours his spirit out? "We Say Show us your Glory, Bring Revival!" Do you realize your asking God to bear his inner substance for you? And that is a deeply personal and intimate act. Do you know why prayer is a key to revival? Because God wants to know if you want HIM to pour out HIS deep - I want to know that you're willing to pour out yours. Because that's the kind of relationship He respond to. Its something deeply personal where we say nothing will satisfy except the reality of the substance of God. You want me to respond to you with deep? I want you to respond to me with your deep.

Lets be willing to give God all of our BEING if we want to see HIS intimacy for us. You can reject Him, and yet still receive His mercy later on.
