Many will say to Him, “Lord, Lord, didn’t we cast out demons in Your name?” And He’ll say… “I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:21-23)

How terrifying—to serve God publicly and still be unknown in His Presence.

How can a chosen one prevent this from happening?

Let’s look at the 7 habits sustained by Chosen Ones Who Walked in Intimacy with God.

Page Contents

One, Seeking

After walking with God for some time, Prophet Isaiah discovered that “He is a God who hides himself” (Isaiah 45:15) This means that:

God is not a celestial vending machine waiting to be triggered, but a relational being who delights in being sought.
No wonder Jesus taught about the growing intensity in looking for God where it starts with asking then to seeking and then to knocking – your mouth, next your mind and being, next your whole taking action – (Matthew 7:7)
That means that this seeking requires deliberate effort and spiritual discipline.
Just as athletes maintain strict regimens to perform at their peak, seeking God isn’t about waiting for crisis moments but establishing a daily routine of seeking God’s presence.
Paul’s declaration, “I beat my body daily,” (1 Corinthians 9:27) underscores the intentionality required.

Two, Waiting

Peter reminds us: “One day is with the Lord as a thousand years” (2 Peter 3:8). This means that:

Waiting is not wasted time but a skill sustained by those who know that destiny does not take time but an encounter with God.
Joseph waited for over a decade in slavery and prison, yet one day, a divine encounter with Pharaoh positioned him as ruler over Egypt (Genesis 41:14–41).
Hannah endured years of barrenness, but one heartfelt encounter with God at the altar changed her story and opened her womb (1 Samuel 1:10–20).
Jacob served Laban for 20 years, but one night of wrestling with God transformed him from a struggler into Israel, the father of a nation (Genesis 32:24–28).
Isaiah 28:16 declares, “he that believeth shall not make haste” – a profound statement revealing that true faith manifests as patient expectation.
This means that waiting is not passive resignation but active trust.
It requires killing anxiety and understanding that divine timing supersedes human urgency.
The result of waiting is that “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Three, Constraining

Constraining involves presenting compelling spiritual arguments, demonstrating genuine hunger, and showing unwavering commitment.

For example, “But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.” (Luke 24:29) When the disciples noticed he was about to leave they gave Him a reason to stay saying it was evening.
Isaiah 41:21 challenges us to “bring forth your strong reasons,” suggesting that God invites passionate, thoughtful interaction.
This skill requires developing spiritual tenacity – the ability to press into God’s presence with sincerity, vulnerability, and determined focus.
Much like what Jacob said when he declared I will not let you go until you bless me (Genesis 32:26).

Four, Dwelling

“And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.” (Luke 24:31) These disciples had an encounter with the risen Christ but He ended up vanishing out of their sight. Encountering God is transformative, but the true mastery lies in creating an environment where His presence remains constant by dwelling in our midst continually.

This skill goes beyond momentary spiritual experiences, focusing instead on developing a continuous, means of keeping God within range at all times.
It’s about being fully saturated with the presence of God at all times.
For instance, after leaving the presence of God, Moses’ face shone with glory and brightness (Exodus 34:29–30). Similarly, Peter’s shadow healed the sick as he walked by (Acts 5:15), and even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched Paul were used to heal the sick and cast out evil spirits (Acts 19:11–12).
Consecration always precedes this kind of saturation which means that maintaining God’s presence requires spiritual sensitivity, consistent worship, immediate obedience, and a heart postured in perpetual receptivity.
Consecration means you strive that your eyes will not see that which grieves the Holy Spirit, your mind will not be set on things that make God leave.

Five, Waking

In the story of Jesus calming the storm, Matthew 8:24 tells us that Jesus was “sleeping” in the midst of life’s storms. This metaphorical sleeping represents times when divine intervention seems delayed or absent. When spiritual battles transcend natural capabilities, the strategy is to “wake Jesus”—to activate a divine response—by recognizing when to shift from natural to supernatural strategies such as:

Prayer and Fasting, for “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21).
Withdrawing to the wilderness, engaging in moments of intense spiritual warfare and divine alignment (Luke 5:16).
Crying out in desperate faith, as the disciples did: “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” (Matthew 8:25), triggering a divine response.

Six, Timing

Psalm 102:13 (not 103:13) declares, “You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.” This reveals that divine intervention operates according to kairos—God’s appointed time—not human calendars. Spiritual activities must align with heavenly timing, requiring us to develop prophetic insight and sensitivity to spiritual seasons.

Like the sons of Issachar (1 Chronicles 12:32), we must cultivate discernment to understand the times and know what to do, moving in rhythm with God’s agenda.
Every prophetic vision and spiritual promise has its appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3); it may tarry, but it will surely come.
Jesus’ birth is a key example—He came “in the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4), showing that even redemption was synchronized with God’s eternal calendar.

This calls for spiritual sensitivity: the ability to connect natural events to God’s preordained moments and to act accordingly.

Seven, Hacking

The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34) is a powerful example of faith that hacked spiritual protocols. Though not on Jesus’ scheduled path, her desperate faith drew healing virtue from Him. She bypassed tradition, ceremony, and even the crowd—demonstrating that radical faith can interrupt, redirect, and accelerate divine outcomes.

Jesus affirmed her action, saying, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.” (Mark 5:34)
This aligns with Jesus’ words in Matthew 17:20: “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Faith, therefore, becomes a spiritual technology—able to override delays, gain divine attention, and unlock heaven’s intervention even when the natural sequence says, “Wait.”

Conclusion

In a world where outward appearances can be deceiving, these 7 daily habits set apart the Chosen Ones who truly walk in intimacy with God. They are not just spiritual routines—they are lifelines that guard your divine identity and keep you from becoming a stranger to the very God you serve.

The Summary:

Seeking God daily is not optional—it’s how chosen ones grow in intimacy and alignment.
Waiting teaches that divine timing is worth every second of surrender.
Constraining is the ability to invite and host God’s presence through spiritual hunger.
Dwelling ensures that God’s presence is not a moment, but a lifestyle of saturation and consecration.
Hacking through radical faith can bypass delays and trigger heaven’s intervention.
