ECSTASY...THE WILD SIDE OF GOD!!

Man was created for companionship with God, man was created to live in the unbroken ecstasy of God.……until the fall, he had perfect fellowship with him….The bible says “In his presence there is FULNESS of JOY and at his right hand are pleasure forever more”

Psalm 16:11. We were created to know Gods full gamut of JOY and PLEASURE while living in his presence, this is the “pleasure” principle.

Nothing in this life can complete us or fulfill us like his presence, but we search continually trying to fill this “ecstasy” void in our hearts. WE value pleasure above pain, pain is not something we seek out, but pleasure is, why is that? Because we were created to live in this place of
God’s ecstatic pleasure, it is our substance. We were created to give God pleasure, and to receive pleasure in his presence, nothing else will do like being there in that place of presence.

Ecstasy simply means the spirituality of the direct JOY (experience) in God. It is the adventure of "the wild things of God." The direct experience of God is a kind of knowing, which goes beyond intellectual understanding, you can know “about” God and not know Him, this is KNOWING HIM in a personal and Intimate way. It is marked by love, joy, peace and total ABDONE to God, with abiding HOLY living. Ecstasy is merely “encountering God” and His incredible love, and being changed by His presence.
