Praying In The Spirit (John Wimber)
Praying In The Spirit A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Jackie Pullinger-To, a woman doing a phenomenal work among drug addicts in Hong Kong. I wanted to know how she was able to lead so many people to the Lord and meet so many needs of the new believers as they […]
A Secret Prayer Life (John Wimber)
A Secret Prayer Life God wants us to develop a secret prayer life with him. Why do I say that? Look at Jesus. Although he taught on public prayer, Jesus repeatedly stressed in his ministry this business of private prayer. âBut when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your […]
Abiding In Intimate Prayer (John Wimber)
Abiding In Intimate Prayer In the Gospel of John, Jesus talks about an absolutely essential element for a quality prayer life. âIf you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to youâ (John 15:7). The word âremainâ here means to live in Jesus, to […]
Intimate Prayer In The Bible (John Wimber)
Intimate Prayer In The Bible There are prayers of startling intimacy throughout the Bible. Many of the significant prayers in the Bible were the personal, intimate cries of the heart, only audible to the God they were intended for. We donât know what Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his barren wife, Rebekah. […]
Jesusâ Intimacy With His Disciples (John Wimber)
Jesusâ Intimacy With His Disciples Jesus also talks to his disciples in a way that beautifully demonstrates the intimate relationship he had with them.

Jesusâ Intimacy With The Father (John Wimber)

The Importance Of Intimacy (John Wimber)
The Importance Of Intimacy I was raised as an only child in a household where my mother was divorced and had remarried. Both she and my stepfather worked. When I was around five, I discovered music. It became my refuge, my passion. By the time I was eighteen, I had learned to play about seventeen […]
The Value God Places On Us (John Wimber)
The Value God Places On Us This may sound strange, but Iâve never really gotten it straight why God chose me in the first place. Iâm always half-expecting the Lord to show up and say, âEverybody whoâs going to heaven, take one step forward.â Then heâll look at me and say, âWhat are you doing […]
The Ebb And Flow Of Intimacy (John Wimber)
The Ebb And Flow Of Intimacy Jesus only spoke the words of the Father. So, whenever he spoke, and wherever itâs written down, we have the recorded words of the Father. Through intimacy with the Father, we are able to enter into the life of Christ and do the works of Christ. He has called […]
Intimacy With The Father And The Son (John Wimber)
Intimacy With The Father And The Son Intimacy must begin with an intimate understanding of who you are talking to.
