Look at the words of Jesus in Matt 7:23 and ask yourself this question. What does God not know? He has a higher value for a dynamic relationship with you than in you having a dynamic ministry. Rather than a warning to be feared, recognize the invitation to intimacy. There is a movement here where He’s taking us to from being “the Father” to “Father” to "Abba/Papa/Daddy". Intimacy does not decrease His holiness for holiness is not held captive by formality. Just as a father rewards the honest transparency of his child by giving him more wisdom, it is your articulation of intimacy that positions you for revelation from your heavenly Father. In your speech, you create the communication that invites communion with the abundance of your heart. Here's what I did with this. I thought about what it would be like to pray like Jesus did in John 17 when He expressed His heart to the Father. So I got a cup of coffee, and sat outside one morning on the porch and said outloud, "Good morning, Papa. I'm so glad to wake up in Your presence..." And then it got personal. You can't even begin to imagine what happens when your value for dynamic relationship meets His.
