The foundation of a Christian life is a love relationship with God. If the Holy Spirit is going to empower you to be effective in the kingdom, you have to cooperate with Him to change you, mold you, and prepare you for His will for your life. Those who resist, quench, grieve, or put off the Spirit will do so at the cost of their relationship with God. Often, God will pick the mostly unlikely people, but He demands open hearts, ready to be used by Him!
