Spiritual Senses

I am deeply dissatisfied with a powerless Christian life. Not because of what I have seen but because of what I have not. I believe I was created with an appetite for the impossible and will continue to desire that because I am a child of the God of the impossible. 1 Cor 2:9-10 says "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit."

It is not hidden but it can only be revealed to me by His Spirit. And therefore I pursue Him. I yearn for deeper relationship with my Father through the Spirit. I lie awake at night thinking about the possibilities in Him. "For nothing is impossible with God."

Ecc 3:11 says "He has also set eternity in the hearts of man." He has set eternity in my heart and thus begins the journey of desire for that eternity. I know one thing, and that is how much I desire to have His will manifest and demonstrated in and through my life.

The Spirit is saying to me that the things of the world and of my carnal nature can only satisfy temporarily, but the things of the Spirit nourishes towards eternity. The Father's will for me is good and perfect and THERE IS MORE TO IT. He says, "Stay connected to Me. You shall grow in wisdom and it shall bring Me glory. The desire and appetite you feel are not your own but it is Me who works in you to will and to act according to My good purpose (Phil 2:13)."

ONE PURE AND HOLY PASSION

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obssession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You

To know and follow hard after You
To grow as Your disciple in Your truth
This world is empty, pale and poor
Compared to knowing You my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after You
Lead me on and I will run after You
