“So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out...” —Romans 12:1-2 (The Message)
I’ve been ruined for an ordinary life; ruined for an average existence; ruined for an everyday, run of the mill mundane lifestyle... ruined for business as usual. From the moment I experienced the life-changing power of God’s love—an overwhelming flood of mercy, grace, joy and the peace of the Lord that passes all understanding—there was no going back. There would be no returning to good when great had been found.
The Journey
In the fall of 2004, I lost my life. It was the best thing that has ever happened to me! For so long I had been living in my own strength and making things happen with my own might. I strove for excellence and was driven. I lived by the letter of the law, and moved through the motions with the best of them. I was catering to the old covenant without knowing or understanding what it meant to live under grace, through faith, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I had come to Christ at a young age and was baptized with the Holy Spirit at a youth camp a few years later. The power of the Holy Spirit had been real and relevant at that point, and had taken hold of my life in a powerful way. But I let go and wandered off over time, leaving it a distant memory. It became a monumental time in my past, and a cherished experience, but it was no more than that.
A book arrived in my hands by way of a friend. The title was “Drawing Near," by John Bevere. As I studied his inspired writing on the Holy Spirit and its continuous power, I began to develop a craving for the things of the Lord. A new passion, fervor, and vigor for the Holy Spirit, and His fruit, began to form inside of me and take root.
As the Holy Spirit began to infiltrate and permeate my every thought and action, I became relentless in my hunger and thirst for righteousness. It was no longer I who lived, but Christ and the Holy Spirit.
