Jesus founded one universal church in order to freely distribute the fruits of his life, death, and resurrection.
He promised to guide and keep that church, and to be with it forever.
Jesus instituted the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist so that members of his church could receive him personally ... body, blood, soul, and divinity ... as often as twice each day.
When a faithful and properly disposed Christian receives Jesus Christ in the authentic Eucharist, it is the most intimate physical and spiritual act possible, which allows us to literally become one with God, and with his entire church, for short periods of time, each day.
The only church which can offer you the authentic Eucharist, as well as all the other complete truths, blessings, and promises of God, is the Roman Catholic Church, the original Christian, full Gospel church, and the only church Jesus ever personally founded and authorized.
Accept no substitutes.

Believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved - that is the first step towards have a relationship with Jesus - not religion. When the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our hearts - at the point of salvation - believing that Jesus is who He says He is, believing that he died, was buried and resurrected by God - at that point when you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead - that He is alive - that is when the relationship begins. God is so good. I pray you are a Christian. Blessings dear one.

An intimate relationship with God...well for myself it is based on a communion with Him in His presence. I do not however know if you knw how to recognise God's voice...
i) Desire God, thirst after Him desperately Psalms 42 v.1,2
it sounds very vague but you gotta press in thru all distractions, doubts and condemnations and preconceived ideas to touch the hem of His garment.
ii)Matthew 5 v. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
1 John 1 v. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
the Key point here is to live a holy life and hunger after it
1 Peter 1v.16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
iii) confess your sins and be reconciled, continue living in sin and be seperated.
Isaiah 59 v. 2 But your iniquities have separated
you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

It's very hard to have an intimate relationship with something that doesn't exist. It's like those crazy people who think the movie star is in love with them, except that the movie star actually exists.

The beginning is through believing Jesus died for your sins. The second is to acknowledge your sins before GOD. The third is to repent. The forth is to read and study his word daily. the fifth is to live those words for the rest of your life.

Intimacy With Jehovah
In the 86th Psalm, David uses the expression “O Jehovah” 11 times. How fervent is David’s prayer and how close his intimacy with Jehovah! Later, such intimate use of God’s name became distasteful to Jewish scribes, notably the Sopherim. They nurtured a superstitious fear of misusing the name. Ignoring the fact that man had been created in God’s image, they declined to ascribe to God attributes that humans also display. So in 7 of the 11 occurrences of the divine name in the Hebrew text of this one psalm, they substituted the title ´Adho-nai´ (Lord) for the name YHWH (Jehovah). We can be grateful that the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, as well as a number of other careful translations, have restored the divine name to its rightful place in God’s Word. As a result, our relationship to Jehovah is emphasized as it should be.
The prayer of David continues: “Show me favor, O Jehovah, for to you I keep calling all day long. Make the soul of your servant rejoice, for to you, O Jehovah, I lift up my very soul.” (Psalm 86:3, 4) Note that David kept calling on Jehovah “all day long.” Indeed, he often prayed through the night, as when he was a fugitive in the wilderness. (Psalm 63:6, 7) Similarly today, some Witnesses when threatened with rape or other criminal assault have cried aloud to Jehovah. At times they have been surprised at the happy result. Jehovah’s name is precious to us, even as it was to “Jesus Christ, son of David,” when he was on earth. Jesus taught his disciples to pray for the sanctification of Jehovah’s name and made known to them what the name stands for.—Matthew 1:1; 6:9; John 17:6, 25, 26.
David lifted up his soul, his entire self, to Jehovah. He encourages us to do likewise, saying at Psalm 37:5: “Roll upon Jehovah your way, and rely upon him, and he himself will act.” Thus our plea to Jehovah for him to make our soul rejoice will not go unanswered. Many integrity-keeping servants of Jehovah continue to find great joy in his service—despite hardships, persecutions, and illnesses. Our brothers in war-torn areas in Africa, such as Angola, Liberia, Mozambique, and Zaire, have continued to place Jehovah’s service first in their lives. He has truly caused them to rejoice in a bounteous spiritual harvest. As they have endured, so must we. (Romans 5:3-5) And as we endure, we are assured: “The vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end . . . It will not be late.” (Habakkuk 2:3) With complete confidence and trust in Jehovah, may we also keep “panting on to the end.”

It's the other way around - if you don't want non-christians to respond, prefix the question with "Christians:".
