If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you've got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.
If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.
I don't want Him to return and find me sitting in a theater.
I want to live so that I am truly submitted to the Spirit's leading on a daily basis. Christ said its better for us that the Spirit came and I want to live like that is true. I don't want to keep crawling when I have the ability to fly.
It's much less demanding to think about God's will for your future than it is to ask Him what He wants you to do in the next ten minutes.
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit.
Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.
The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.
God is not just one thing we add to the mix called life. He wants an invitation from us to permeate everything and every part of us.
He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.
The truth is that the Spirit of the living God is guaranteed to ask you to go somewhere or do something you wouldn’t normally want or choose to do. The Spirit will lead you into the way of the cross, as He led Jesus to the cross, and that is definitely not a safe or pretty or comfortable place to be. The Holy Spirit of God will mold you into the person you were made to be…
Do you want to see God more than you desire security?
Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.
