Pursuing A Closer Relationship With God

Often, as Christians, we have basic knowledge and understanding about God and how to access Him. In those times of development, we are highly dependent upon Him as we have found little satisfaction or comfort in anything else. As God promotes us in life, increasing our responsibility and broadening our experiences, we may find that what we learned in the beginning about God may not be enough as we face this new challenge: prosperity. Indeed, prosperity proves to be its own test as we seek to maintain our relationship with God and enjoy the comforts that life may provide us. Over the next 10 days, we will examine 10 ways of maintaining a close and intimate relationship with God even as we enjoy certain advantages in life. The more we learn and understand, we can begin to consistently apply these lessons to our everyday lives, shifting our perspective to be more God-centered and God-filtered.

Leçon 1: Exploring The Levels Of Immersion Of Your Relationship With God

The goal of today’s lesson is to explore the depth of your relationship with God. This is important because your level of immersion determines your consistency of faith in the direction that God wants to take your life. It is important to expand that closeness with God, so that you develop confidence in the path God sets for your life. Your level of immersion also helps you to develop a level of expectation within your relationship with God.

Leçon 2: God’s Timing Is Perfect

Part of expanding immersion is expanding trust in God and His perfect timing. We will focus on developing patience and not feeling the need to “speed God up” as we become anxious and impatient for an outcome. We will discuss the signs of fearfulness that show up when we’re waiting. We will discuss how to align with God in such a way that we can know what to expect, but be flexible about how it comes to us.

Leçon 3: Being Human, Playing God

Today we will discuss God’s “sky-cam” view and how we can comfortably move forward not knowing all the details. The truth is that, from our perspective, we will never know ALL of the details. We will discuss how to view all of our life experiences, subtracting the labels “bad” and “good.” We will discuss the art of non-resistance and effortlessness in our daily living.

Leçon 4: Alignment With God: Loving What He Loves, Hating What He Hates

When talking about love and hate, I am not talking about emotions. Alignment with God is operating in the understanding of embracing and becoming one who sees God and seeks to be productive in God. As such, you will avoid becoming ensnared in situations that promote blindness to God and unproductivity in God. We will discuss significant actions you can take to align with God immediately.

Leçon 5: Developing Compassion For The Enemy

With our enemies, we tend to want to pray them away from us or rebuke them into a corner where God will deal with them and we have no further interaction. We will discuss how the way you relate to others is how you relate to God. We will discuss how God sees His people and how we should see others through God’s eyes. We will learn to recognize and remove our emotional blockages that keep us from embracing others in unconditional love. We will also discuss the art of giving and receiving as not being dependent on others’ actions or reactions.

Leçon 6: A Life Of Favor: Being Unashamed In Blessing and Gratitude

As you have been learning how to see God and operate in God, you will soon see changes within your life. These changes will not just come in the external situations, but in your internal perspective as well. Because you will see life and circumstances differently, you will experience a consistent amount of joy and peace that others may not understand. We will discuss how to resist the temptation of blending in with cynics and scorners. We will also discuss how the demonstration of your joy to your fellow human is absolutely necessary and required.

Leçon 7: God’s Preservation Of You: Prosperity Is Its Own Test

As God blesses us, He also preserves us. What this means is that He protects us from temptation as He elevates us beyond our distressing circumstances. We will discuss that, though God preserves us, we are still tempted to choose to step out of that preservation. We will discuss ways in which we can stay within our preserved state, including not falling for the illusion of our good fortune and maintaining a servant’s heart in which we constantly reflect God to others.

Leçon 8: Rightness Vs Righteousness: Acting Outside Of God’s Will In God’s Name

One of the hardest battles when one obtains an understanding of God and is operating in alignment is being humble about it. We will want to compare ourselves to and correct others who may be at different points on their divine journey. Being right gives you a sense of power over others. Being righteousness brings a sense of responsibility to others. In this lesson, we will discuss ways to continuously operate in righteousness.

Leçon 9: Reality Of Restoration: God’s Will First, Then Your Desire

Often in life we have experienced significant setbacks. These setbacks are likely what led to us seeking out God in the beginning. As we grow in God, we learn a new perspective that opens the door to restoration. We will discuss the concept of restoration and how what we receive is an upgraded version of what we previously lost. We will discuss how growth in God prepares you for restoration such that you do not lose out again.

Leçon 10: How Resting In God Is Really A Preparation For Action

Rest is not about reaching some peak in your walk with God and then retiring in comfort. Rest is about being relieved of distractions and certain adversities that no longer help you grow. We will discuss how to not turn rest into stagnation and how to recognize the opportunity to continue growth and expansion in God.

I loved this! One of the best courses that I’ve done, and I’ve done quite a few in recent months. I’m gonna repeat it because it’s that good.

Thank you, Jamila.
Love your practicality in relationship to God.

Thank you Jamila, your work have opened up my mind to a different perspective about relationship with God in a beautiful way. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone to share your knowledge. I appreciate you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has taken my height of awareness, faithfulness, service and forgiveness to a new height. I thank you, my Sista for enlightening me to a new depth and changing the trajectory of my path. I honestly can say through this course I owe that to you. May God continue to bless and use you to be that Light we all so desperately need.

Thank you so much for this empowering and informative course. God bless you and your calling! 💕🙏

God bless you. This was great! Spirit filled and direct. Thank you!
🙏🏽👼🏽🙏👼🙏🏻👼🏻✝️🛐🕊

Great course! Want to listen again! Thanks so much!!

I am so inspired I cannot even explain it with any vocabulary I already knows. I have been driven by this urge to grow and expand and seek knowledge and it feels driven or inspired by God and I believe He has shown me what will be while I understand I must elevate and grow to a point where I am capable of receiving it and executing it sustainably and it’s for the greatest good imaginable. I have been telling my husband and a few others this for about at least a year or so and now I understand better what is going on and I am not crazy for feeling, seeing, & believing this and making my developing my way of being as something of significance. Thank you so much for this. The learnings gained supported me immensely and are priceless in nature. God bless!

Simply Extraordinary!!!!!! You have a gift. Thank you for sharing. May god continue to bless you❤️

I loved this lesson so much that I would love for her to do another one but with more courses. These set of courses were such a blessing.

It feels like this class found me when I lost need it.

Very helpful. A wonderful reminder and great opportunity with methods to “check” myself. While I did not complete it in 10 consecutive days, I was always drawn to come back and go deeper. Thank you for this course. All the best to you. 💓🙏🏾

Outstanding, Thank you, starting the course again. The timing of this was perfect.

This was just what I needed at this point in my life. It has expanded my relationship with God. Thank you for creating this!

Jamila - this course was absolutely beautiful and expansive (Day 10 pun intended)! As a lover of 12 Step Recovery & a practicing psychotherapist who is always trying to work on myself for the sake of service … your course supported my growth with the God of my understanding and the development of my spiritual program. I can not thank you enough! 🙏🏽💗

This was such a special course and I'm so grateful for it. It brought me back to God, closer than I've felt in years. It is based on Christianity but could easily benefit anyone of any faith or none.

Thank you for this beautiful course. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. May God bless you and continue to expand your territory so that you may bless others with your wisdom and knowledge. ✌️💜🙏

This course challenged me in the best way. It answered questions and encouraged development for my walk with God. Each session spoke to me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts through this course.

I love this class & Ms. Perry’s other podcasts. They have been a source of comfort & help (especially) during the dark times of COVID). I’ve been following her & look forward to any new classes she offer. Thank you Ms. Perry for being a light & demonstration of God’s wisdom.

Still processing everything in this course. Very thought provoking. I’m going to look for more of Jamila Perry’s courses and keep learning
