In this powerful and encouraging episode, Rev. Michael Justice joins Elevate The Day to unpack what it truly means to cultivate intimacy with God, especially in a noisy and demanding world.
Rev. Justice shares practical and spiritual insights on slowing down, seeking God’s presence, and letting His Word anchor us as we face daily battles.
Key Takeaways
1. Intimacy Begins with Time in God’s Word
Rev. Justice reminds us that Scripture is not just a book. It’s God speaking directly to us. The more time we spend in the Word, the more clearly we recognize His voice, guidance, and comfort.
2. Prioritizing God’s Presence Over Life’s Distractions
Distractions are one of the enemy’s greatest tools. From busy schedules to endless notifications, Rev. Justice emphasizes how easily our spiritual focus can be stolen. Intimacy requires intentionality, making space for quiet, worship, and stillness so we can truly hear God.
3. Hearing God Clearly Requires a Quiet Spirit
God is always speaking, but a cluttered heart can make us miss His direction. Rev. Justice shares how cultivating moments of silence helps tune our spiritual ears to His leading.
4. Our Peace May Shift, But God’s Peace Never Does
One of this episode’s most freeing truths: human peace is circumstantial, but God’s peace is unshakeable. Keeping our minds stayed on the Lord protects us from anxiety and keeps us grounded in His constant presence.
5. Navigating Life’s Battles with Confidence
Whether emotional, relational, or spiritual, battles become less intimidating when we walk closely with God. Intimacy with Him strengthens our faith, clarifies our decisions, and reminds us we’re never fighting alone.
