Episode Carrying the Fresh Oil of Intimacy
We are called to cultivate the oil of intimacy that is fresh and current—we cannot live off of borrowed oil. In this sermon, Havilah Cunnington shares how at times in our walk with God, it’s possible to allow the hunger and faith of others to make us believe that we are sustained in our connection with God. But as with the 10 virgins found in Matthew 25, there’s oil, our connection and intimacy with God, that can only be acquired personally from establishing our own history with God. The reservoir of oil that we are called to carry comes from our history in experiencing the Lord come through in dark nights of the soul, and seeing Him intervene in moments that seemed impossible. This reservoir of oil is established in the reality of who He is and it cannot be borrowed, but requires hard work and intentionality from us. There is a sacrifice but preparation is required of us to be ready in carrying oil. We pray that as you listen in to this week's message, God would speak to your heart and highlight areas where He is inviting you to partner with Him in stewarding fresh oil in your life.
