In this message, we discuss the importance and power of intimacy.

Here is an outline related to the material:
• Would you say your family of origin was/is intimate?
• Do you know how to increase intimacy in your life?

Self-Discovery:
• We must choose to continually Grow & Learn
• Our Stories need to be updated – for intimacy to grow
• God reveals Himself to us …
… and ourselves to us
• His Light helps us get free to draw closer
His Light shines on the good and bad things
• Intimacy involves shared experience and understanding. If you don’t
know yourself – if you don’t experience yourself – if you don’t like
yourself, you cannot have intimacy w/ God / others
• Discover Yourself – through Module 1 … do the module WITH GOD

Disclosure
• Self-Discovery without sharing is not intimacy
• Learn to share who you are with God – shared and agreed, perspectives
“Say it, Pray it” – the clearer, more precise and specific, the better!
• Learn to share who you are – appropriately – with others
Spouse, Family, Friends, Workmates
“Say” and “Live” who you are

Vulnerability
• Transparency vs Vulnerability
Vulnerability includes entrusting ourselves to others (risk)
to experience response, care, and support
Transparency can be honest sharing, but remains self-protecting
 It helps people understand you (or know about you), but it doesn’t
increase intimacy

Self-Control
• We must take responsibility for our lives to aim and invest our lives [and
change and grow]
• With the help of the Holy Spirit, we break through strongholds and create
new life patterns.
• Lack of self-control can be passive, blaming others, or circumstances, or
oneself for why we aren’t growing and investing.
• In the Curriculum, this relates to Roles, Purpose, Rule of Life, Pruning
and Strategic Planning

APPLICATION:
• Are you willing to take responsibility to develop intimate and loving
relationships?
• What are your next steps?

In this podcast, Coach Tom interviews friend, author, speaker and Kingdom trainer, Rob Reimer. You will hear of God's work of healing in his own life, and through him to others around the world.

Some key concepts:

• Finding God's fit for you will bring more fruit and more fun.
• God wants access to your heart and soul...often that is achieved through pain.
• There is no power without the cross. Impartation requires character and intimacy to sustain it. We must die to live.
• Apart from God you can do many things, but you can do no Kingdom work without abiding.
• Not every need is your assignment.
• The secret to success is to find out what God wants of you and do it, no matter the personal cost...and there will be personal cost.

__________________________

Dr. Rob Reimer’s passion is to see the Kingdom of God advance through spiritual renewal. Rob began Renewal International to assist pastors, leaders, and churches globally to equip the people of God to live in freedom in Christ, and to walk in the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit.

Passionate about Jesus, personally transparent, and saturated in the Word, his books including Soul Care, River Dwellers, Spiritual Authority, Deep Faith, Pathways to the King, The Soul Care Leader, Calm in the Storm and The Tenderness of Jesus incorporate lessons God taught him over the years through life, marriage, and ministry. During conferences, Rob not only teaches these lessons, but provides activities for participants to begin working them into their lives. These transformative
experiences challenge people to walk in the light with God and others and help people to practice hearing from God and accessing His power for ministry. Without Jesus, we have nothing to offer!

In addition to his work with Renewal International, Dr. Reimer has served as Professor of Pastoral Theology at Alliance University in NY, NY, and as the founding and lead pastor of a church in New England.
