Intimacy with God goes far beyond any physical union; it is the knowledge of the heart—cardiognosis—a deep knowing that is revealed through experience rather than intellect.

On my journey, I encountered many moments that imparted this knowledge directly into my heart, often through simple acts of intimacy, like a heartfelt embrace. A hug can convey connection, or it can create distance, depending on how it is given. God invites us to embrace Him as Father, allowing Him to reveal the truth of our relationship so that we may know Him experientially.
I remember a moment when I became caught up in doing things for God—exploring what I could do in the heavenly realms, understanding my sonship and governmental authority. It was exhilarating, but it risked becoming my focus instead of the relationship itself. One day, during my daily engagement with God, I asked, “What are we doing today?” and there was no verbal response. Instead, He simply held me close, refusing to let go. In that embrace, He infused truth and knowledge into my heart, drawing me away from a works-based mentality and revealing the fragrance of intimacy with Him more powerfully than anything else I had experienced.
Relationship union with God transcends gender. Sonship and daughtership are spiritual realities, not defined by male or female. God looks at who we are at the core of our being, made in His image, which encompasses both masculine and feminine characteristics. First love restores our true identity in union—spirit, soul, and body—with Father, Son and Spirit at the very heart of who we are.
This journey of first love leads to consummation, a deepening of the relationship as we accept God’s love, embrace our identity and destiny as sons and daughters, and allow transformation to prepare us for face-to-face intimacy with Him. My path through the garden, the dance floor, the soaking room, and the bridal chamber brought me into a presence with God that was overwhelming at first, yet opened the door to ongoing experiences of dwelling heart to heart, mind to mind, spirit to spirit. Over the years, this intimacy became my dwelling place, just as God dwells in me, revealing His presence, perfection, love, joy, and peace in ways I could not have imagined at the beginning.
The process took over a decade, guiding me through experiences that expanded my understanding of God and myself, revealing multidimensional realities beyond time, space, or material limitations. Like a courtship or betrothal, the journey into first love deepens continually until soul, spirit and body are in union with God.
