Welcome to the Intimate Kingdom. The purpose here is simple – to focus our gaze upon what Jesus Christ prayed for and made possible for us in the area of loving intimacy with Him, and each other.
“May they all be one, Father. Even as You are in Me and I am in You,
so let them be in Us, that the world may believe You sent Me!” ~John 17:21

What is the Intimate Kingdom?
Intimacy? Kingdom? These are two words that don’t normally go together in our understanding of a “governmental reign.” But the Kingdom of God is not like any earthly government. It is a realm that is outside the paradigm of corruptible flesh, religion, and everything that claims to be something or somebody. There are no gender, status, or racial divisions. There is no law, force, or fear. And the only currency of exchange in the kingdom is love, perfect love. It is all that is needed between a King and His Bride..

Please join in…
The primary focus here is a verse by verse journey through one of the most provocative pictures of spiritual intimacy in the Bible – the Song of Songs – with an emphasis on how it points to Christ’s oneness with, and among the members of His spiritual Body. Some of it may be controversial, but all of it, I hope, will be challenging and stimulating for you in the purest sense.

Very nice!
My heart is so full! I am so grateful He led me here!
Hi, my name is Jerry Grossman.
I’ve been on journey with Abba Father God and Jesus via Holy Spirit for a while.
Saved at 14 at a YFC meeting, it unfortunately didn’t catch root.
When I was incarcerated in 1979-80ish I had an unexpected experience where I heard Abba’s passionate desire to have personal relationship with the God-head, Father, Son and Spirit.
A lot of miles from that jail cell to today!! A LOT!!!
I can say without any hesitation, I am a child of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and so on.
I’m fortunate to have the scars of the world and religion, yet the sting of the wounds are either completely gone or becoming less and less.
I read some of the blog and absolutely would like to see if I might be able to incorporate it into my daily walk with Holy Spirit.
Please let me know of anything I can do to connect and unite to know more of Abba’s amazing love for all the people of earth

Nice to “meet” you, Jerry!
It is encouraging to hear of the transformation Father (Abba) has done in you, and as your mind is renewed day by day, that your wounds don’t have the sting they used to. Love that. So in my opinion, I think you’re already on the path of knowing how much Father loves all the people of the earth. It started with you. :-)
But generalities aside…going deeper in love with the Beloved, and His Bride, is the focus of this blog. I’m aware it’s not for everyone, as kinda got to be willing to throw away the clothes of religion, and shame, and pride, and submit ourselves wholly to the Lord of Relationship – who wants to give us heavenly relationships. There’s a war out there against this kind of relationship, however, and for incorporating what is physically in the Song into our lives in a truly spiritual way. Many of the posts use enigmatic language speaking of these things, and I certainly haven’t attained to all I write of. In many ways, the best I am is just a lover in training.
If you’d like to be added to the mailing list, let me know. Or if you have any other questions.
Otherwise, thanks for popping in!
