    About this ebook

    Intimate Devotions is a mini e-book with devotionals designed and written to inspire those who seek a deep and intimate walk with God. It is a 'foretaste' of the full book which is to come, purposed to create in you a longing and a hunger for God and the certainty that you are able to have a close walk with Him. Intimate Devotions was birthed in a time of excruciating physical and emotional pain. A time during which I cried unceasingly to God for His intervention in my health. A time where I met Him in the crucible... and found that there is complete fullfillment and utter joy in His presence - regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in.

    Author

    Lois Massyn

    In the winter of 1983, the author, Lois Massyn van Heerden, had a life-changing encounter with God. Her life went from being an ordinary mother, raising three bouncing boys, to a passionate and radical child of God. Lois is a true lover of God and has discovered that walking intimately with God can be part of your daily, moment-to-moment life. In publishing these writings, she hopes to inspire each and every ordinary christian to push deeper and discover new dimensions in their relationship with God. Lois currently resides in Pretoria, South Africa, and together with her husband has been in the ministry for 35 years. She serves the body of Christ in her calling as Prophet, Teacher, Intercessor and Psalmist.

      Psalm 22:3 says He inhabits the praises of His people.

      The word ‘inhabit’ means to dwell; to make His abode; make His camp; pitch His tent; to linger. There is a difference between God living inside of us and God actually coming upon us and lingering upon us. To linger means to hang around; to stay a while".

      How amazing when God decides to linger a while!

      In the Old Testament when the Israelites journeyed through the wilderness, the difference between His "presence with them and His glory upon them was very clear. God was always with" His people; the cloud travelled with them by day and the pillar of fire by night.

      However, there were times when the presence of God would come down and totally envelop the tent of Moses. Other times Moses would walk up
