I dont know who this is for, but I know it is for me. I can no longer be satisfied with being satisfied with life as usual. As for me, I wasn't created to be what the world calls normal. I was created for more, and so were you.

In prayer this morning I kept hearing the word "EXTREME." What I received from Holy Spirit is that we are living in a world of extreme chaos and evil. We must be willing to go above and beyond with a desire to live with reckless abandonment, a life for the Father through the Spirit of God.
One thing I know is, there must be a constant change in our pursuit for Holiness, shedding more and more of self and the world to receive what God has called us into. The Father is calling us to the deep places of His heart and purpose. We cannot remain the same and live life as usual and be in a position to go where He is leading us.
There is a cost for extreme faith to do extraordinary things for God. It's more than just the same routine of morning prayer reading the Word when it's convenient, and going to church. God is calling us to a lifestyle surrender with our time.
We desire to be saturated in Him, but in order to do that, we must saturate ourself in Him (marinate in that a few minutes). We all have busy lives, but how much of our lives do we spend just finding ways to occupy our thoughts and our time to escape the realities of life?
So, what are we being called to do? The answer is sacrifice. God sacrificed His Son and Jesus sacrificed His life for us, that we might be redeemed unto the Father. We must be willing to surrender our life's lived in our routine, to pursue a routine of prayer, reading the Word and just soaking in His presence.
We spend so much time looking for ways to escape the chaos of life, through things of the world. God is calling us to escape the things of life with things of the Spirit.
I will tell you, your flesh is going to want to rebel and fight to be fed with tv, social media, sports, and relationships (just to mention a few). Oh preacher, you're just going too far! Isnt that what they said about the people that we read about in the Word?
God is saying to us; do we want to encounter Him in such a way, that we experience extreme signs, wonders and miracles, and the lost falling to their knees and crying out for repentance because of the One Who lives inside of us? We must first desire to be extreme for Him, but we also must be willing to lay down our very lives to sacrifice our time to abide in His presence. Do you want to walk in more than just a measure of faith? Do you want to walk in extreme faith? Well, it's time to live and walk in it, no matter the cost.
EXTREME has to become the new normal!
