It is not about having a depth of knowledge about the Bible or spending hours in prayer and meditating on the Bible. This is helpful to developing a strong relationship with Jesus but is not the end goal.
It is much more than sanctification. The transformation of your personality to be more like Jesus is not designed for you. It is to make you a powerful light drawing non believers to Christ.
The life of a Christ follower walking in oneness with God has no end or goal in sight.
Your life is characterized by dealing with calamities, sorrow, intercession, sleeplessness, and at times being barely able to walk.
Faith is the cornerstone to a life with Jesus!
Jesus is at work to teach you the principles of faith. Your faith has to be tested and found reliable by God. And, your faith has to be proven to meet the standards of God.
Abraham believed God and was obedient to His voice. He gave up his homeland, family and inheritance to obey God.
This is why Abraham became the Father of many nations.
As believers we have this idea we can be a great ambassador for Jesus utilizing our strengths and talents. Nothing can be further from the truth.
The reality is Jesus does not need you. You need Him. We are all impoverished souls void of the qualities of God.
The challenge of God is to get self out of the way so your motives will be pure and consistent with the values of Jesus.
Your ministry must be totally dependent on Jesus and led in demonstration of the Spirit and Power.
The authenticity of Jesus working through a believer saves souls and is life changing!
