How to have intimacy with God?

-

 Hello, my friends. Today we gonna talk about a thing that is in my heart for a long time. 

Some time ago I saw myself in a situation where everything looked meaningless. I was without a goal and a perspective. 

I had been a Christian in my childhood, but with time I got lost at this point. And with more time I got lost in everything.

My mom usually went to church on Sundays and I had a hard time going with her. However, one day, I don't remember exactly how, but I felt something so powerful. I felt God touching me and since then I couldn't get far away from His presence.

But then I came up with a question... Was it possible to have intimacy with God, to be closer to Him?

 Then I did what almost everything does and I searched it on google. And I saw the video below.


 

Attention: This video isn't mine. I am posting it here 'cause I believe it's a great tool and will help you in this journey.


Then, I went to church and I heard the church pastor talking about that same topic. I started, then,  searching for ways to have that proximity. 
And I got it.
Today I can talk to God about everything. He is my Father, my best friend, my fortress. He is everything to me. 

How can you do that?


And I realized how many people were in the same situation, without knowing how to go to that deeper level in their relationship with God. 
This is why I am here today, to help you have intimacy with our Father.

And here we go...

Tip #1 

Go to the church. 

I know many of you think you don't need to go to that place to worship His holy name and you don't, we can do it everywhere we go. 
However, in the same way, we don't need to go to a school to study but we go because we know we will absorb more in a place specifically for that thing. 
The pandemic showed us how a school is important for a good learning process. The same is true for a Church.
We must go to that place to show our love to God, to sing and worship His name, to ask Him to pardon us, and to let us be closer to Him.

Tip #2

Pray more


This one is essential if you are trying to get close to Him.
If you are starting as a Christian and don't know how to pray you can click here to check out this post with some beautiful prayers from Bible.
But in a simple way prayer is something that will show everything you are feeling. You will admit everything to Him, tell Him how miserable you are without His presence, how you need His love and help. This is a moment where you can share everything you have and tell all your secrets 'cause He is there to hear you.

Tip #3

Read the Bible


This is where you will hear God. You will read His words and meditate in those phrases. You will see how amazing He is and how powerful he is to change your story.

Tip #4

Fasting


I know this one sounds a little tricky but you can do it.
 God says in His words that some things in life only can be solved with fasting and prayer and if you wanna be closer to Him, you definitely should do it.
This is a great way to hear His words and to realize how weak we are, how weak our bodies are.
I'm not saying you only can achieve this relationship if you do fasting, but if you don't have any illness and feel good doing that, it's a great idea.
You can do it! See how many people are doing it to lose weight... They do it with such happiness and you think you can't do it for your creator? Of course, you can.
 Be strong, be brave, and let's go.
If you are starting I suggest you 6-12 hours and then you can try an 18-24 and so on.
Don't push yourself so hard in the beginning. 

Tip #5

Worship His name



If you like to write songs, poems, verses, whatever, you can use it to worship God. Pass some time alone and write to Him.
Same if you enjoy singing, acting, painting, sewing,  dancing... Whatever art lies in your soul, I am sure you can use it to be closer to God and to help the world be nearer to Him.


I had a tough time writing to Him because everything looked so cheap, a big shit, and worthless to somebody so gracious. 
I asked Him to inspire me, to make me able to say His name, and to produce poems to Him, at least one percent of what He deserves, and now I got it. I can write poems and songs in His name and I like them. I am getting better at that thing. And I believe you can do it as well. 

Tip #6

Meditate


Meditation is really good to stay in peace, to listen to our inner voices. But better than that is to meditate to hear God's voice. It's amazing to stay in silence and let things go, let your thought come and go and just appreciate your life and everything God gave us.



Extra tip:


Being grateful every day helps you attain that deeper level with your creator. 
By doing that, you are showing how you can feel His presence in every part of your life.


I hope this post has helped you.

How to read without missing important points

  Despite social media, cell phones, and television,  good reading is an important tool for every moment of your life.  That's true, sometimes we skip this point because we think it's too hardworking or takes a lot of time... However, the majority of times we are doing it the wrong way and letting go of our reading passion. We are abandoning the reader who is inside ourselves.  The school does try to teach us how to read, but what we learn is very superficial and gets boring with time.  Have you ever read a book and in the end you felt like you couldn't absorb anything?  This is a common thing. And this is why I am here today. At the end of this post, you will be able to read without those highlighted problems. So, let's go. Below I summarize how to do it more simply and nicely.  1)Discovering you're why 2) Looking for keywords  3) Searching for feedback 4) Reading the summary 5) Thinking first 6) Taking time 7) Giving your opinion #Why  Firs...

How to write a book without going crazy

-

  Because the only thing I've learned from talking to the people on this story is that to be a true writer, all you have to do is... write. If you want to be a better writer so you can write better books, you can. Just focus on your book and over time your writing will get better and better. If you get stuck on a particular section and stop moving forward, find another part of the book you enjoy today and write that section instead. The point is to break out of the “Well, if I did some more research…” spiral, and then two years later, your book is still stuck. Your "Good" spiral is bullshit, and procrastination keeps you from finishing your book. (Here you can find a post on how to stop procrastinating). That no one cares what many of us say, or that we can never write a whole book. We persevere when haters tell us to stop, we overcome when our limits crawl like fences to be overcome, and we devour articles that offer advice on how to write better, faster, and smarter. `O...

Just start

 Sometimes we might lose, others we will win . The choice is in our hands.  If you wanna know how to stop procrastinating and have your full potential unlocked, read this post. To achieve this goal, we should set up a schedule with our aims and stay with it.  But I know it isn't that easy and we can lose our minds trying to do that. But here goes a video where you can learn how to do the best schedule. The remaining one isn't mine, that's just a nice one I found on Google. And here goes the title of this post: just start . As well said, the best day to start was 10 years ago and the second one is today. So let's do it. Now I invite you to imagine you are two steps away from your dream. Your desired behavior, your new habit, whatever. You are between a hollow space and to wake up early, to save money, lose 20 kilograms  ... And so on. What you need to do is to create a bridge.  You must apply effort for doing that. This will be your schedule. If well done it will...
