In his powerful sermon “Intimacy with Christ,” Jim challenges us to examine where we stand in our relationship with God, emphasizing that true intimacy—not just good works—is what the Lord desires from us. He reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle between God’s government and Satan’s government, and that our choice to seek God’s face through prayer and repentance determines which side we serve. Jim highlights the sobering warning from Matthew 7:23 where Jesus says “I never knew you” to those who did works without intimacy, contrasting it with the blessing of “well done, good and faithful servant” for those who walk closely with Him. He encourages us that when we make Jesus number one in our lives and pursue that intimate relationship with Him, we become His temple—a house of prayer—and He will use us to impact others, even in seemingly random encounters. Now is the time to make our decision: let us commit to seeking God’s face daily, spending time in His presence, and allowing the Holy Spirit to fill us so completely that everywhere we go, we carry His anointing and make a difference for His kingdom.
