It is crucial we know how to see

 Proximity: nearness to

 Holy Spirit is constantly issuing an invitation to come as close as you want. 

 My Testimony

 1 Samuel 3:9 NKJV  Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

 This encounter set a precedence

 1 Samuel 3:11NKJV  Behold, I will do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.” 

 1 Samuel 3:18 NKJV  “Then Samuel told him (Eli) everything, and hid nothing from him.”

 1 Samuel 3:18 NKJV “So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.”

 The degree to which we are willing to dwell in the presence of God in intimacy will be the degree to which we carry his heart to those we encounter in our daily lives.

 Psalm 25:14 TPT  There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.

 Ephesians 2:4-7NKJV But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
