    About this ebook

    One | Complete Intimacy With God, will challenge and transform you. This book is filled with not just the author's words - but Gods Words! And you sense His love and life spill off the pages. The scripture and insight in this book is craftfully woven through the story of one woman's journey to finding her 'secret place' with God in the midst of loss and suffering.

    ‘There are no secret formulas to getting close to Jesus or to feeling His heart for you and others - there is only a secret place...” Heidi Wysman

    “Heidi Wysman teaches us how prayer is the most intimate place we can be with God. Through her own 20 year journey of prayer and intercession found in the secret place, Heidi writes with a heartfelt passion to help others to be able to ‘see Jesus’. This book is personal, biblical, practical and inspirational. ‘One | Complete Intimacy with God’ will change your life. If you’re hungry for God then you’re going to love this book.” - Dr Phil Pringle Founder and President of C3 Church International and Senior Pastor of C3 Church in Sydney, Australia

      One | Complete Intimacy with God - Heidi Wysman

      Prologue

      Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, ‘Sir, we would like to see Jesus.’ John 12:20-21 [NIV]

      My desire , my passion and I believe my purpose is to help people find Jesus and in turn, truly SEE HIM. We all need refreshing, we need reminding, we need to be filled to overflowing. When we aren’t constantly being filled by the Lord, the once living water inside us becomes stagnant. Just like a river that has begun to dry up, that water that once flowed has over time become polluted.

      As believers, we must continually be turning to Jesus to be filled and revived. If we remain idle, and the river of life loses its flow, before long our heart and mind will change, our perception will begin to blur, we won’t be able to see Jesus clearly because we are looking at Him through murky water.

      I believe with all my heart that if we can fix our eyes upon Jesus and posture our hearts towards Him, He will give us rivers of living water that will never run dry.

      He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. John 7:38

      The drink that The Lord offers us not only refreshes us but becomes a river flowing through us. The Holy Spirit is that river and He does not want to be contained like a lake. He wants to be a flowing river bringing life to all that we touch. Bringing transformation from an encounter with the River of Life.

      Jesus, His name is FAITHFUL AND TRUE. He is the alpha and omega, the first and the last; He is the bright morning star; the life giving vine, the great physician, and the lover of our souls. I am reminded of an old hymn, which says:

      "So turn your eyes upon Jesus,

      Look full in His wonderful face,

      And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

      In the light of His glory and grace."¹

      Paul says in his second letter to the Corinthians, For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to beam forth the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 [AMP]

      He is the light of the world. In His presence all will grow strangely dim, disappearing into the background and setting the stage for the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. A light that is full of glory; a light that cannot be blown out. A light that is extravagant and full of grace.

      I pray that as you read this book, it will be like blasting the fresh living water He brings into every area of your life, that what was dying may live; and areas in your life that were forgotten or lacking hope would be revived. That you, like those men who came to Philip, would say, please sir, we want to see Jesus!

      He found me in a desert land,

      And in the wasteland,

      a howling wilderness;

      He encircled me, He instructed me,

      He kept me as the apple of His eye.

      As an eagle stirs up its nest,

      Hovers over its young,

      Spreading out its wings, taking them up,

      Carrying them on its wings,

      So the Lord alone led me.²

      Deuteronomy 32:10-11

      Iwalked into church in 1991, a mere shadow of who I am today. I had faced the realities of abuse, sickness, loss and manipulation to name a few; and now I yearned to be whole, to love and be loved by the God who saved me.

      I longed desperately to have this God love me, for His light to fill me. I would have paid any price.

      A lot was learned in my first years attending Church. For the next 3 years I tried, and fought, and strived, to ‘feel,’ to experience His love; but I kept on coming short. I felt nothing. The longer this went on, the worse the pain of it became. I never missed a church service or prayer meeting. In my limited understanding of God, one thing I did know was that He was meant to be experienced. I could see people around me carrying a joy and peace that I had never known. Somehow, I knew what I needed was found in Him. I didn’t just want to read about God, I wanted to know Him and be known by Him. God as my heavenly Father, Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as my guide and comforter.

      There was no denying my love towards the Lord. I saw hope. I had been brought from the depths of darkness into His glorious light. I longed desperately to have this God love me, for His light to fill me. I would have paid any price.

      The test becomes my triumph

      But without faith it is impossible to please Him. For he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

      Three years into my journey I was struck with a trial that rocked me to the core and sent my head into a spin. For the next few months I struggled to lift my voice to God in prayer. All I could do was write letters to Him. Love letters. Desperate cries for help. I had become a zombie, a walking dead. My mind was so heavy with every negative thought that kept flashing its way across it, reminding me of every bad thing that had ever happened to me, and every bad thing I had ever done. I felt like the pit was a place in my mind, a place that I would regularly visit and call home.

      When I saw Him in all His mercy and kindness for the first time, I saw myself, a sinner, saved by grace.

      One mild evening I was in my room at home alone, this night was to be the most significant night of my life thus far, I just had to make it through. I had written a love letter to the Lord, and lay my head down to rest. Once again my mind took over, and the accusations against me and mine against everyone else began to dance through my brain. I was questioning the Scripture that says, a man reaps what he sows. All I kept thinking was that I must have been an incredibly wicked young girl to reap the pain and torture I was experiencing. Then the next test presented itself. Well then, is God real? How could this loving God who I had never experienced, who, in my fragile perspective had never shown me any love, be real? My mind was spiralling out of control. He HAD to be real, I thought. He just had to be. If I didn’t have Him, I had nothing. I felt at this moment a voice rise up on the inside of me saying; "Heidi you choose, life or death -
