The Holy Spirit is calling out and seeking after individuals who have a desire and want to make a commitment to come into true relationship with the God of Heaven and who want to be transformed by the Holy Spirit. Now, these individuals are receiving revelations that are radically shifting how they think, how they live and what they think, it means to be a follower of Christ.

God's criteria is different than most of us believe. Your personal relationship with Him is at the core of your very existence. And it's not a relationship based on emotion or intellect. Although these things are part of it, they are in the natural. As Jesus related to the Samaritan woman at the well, in John 4:24, "God is spirit and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

It's simply not enough to relate to God out of the natural, out of our humanity, out of our flesh. We cannot become or be with the Lord has destined us to be, through our own efforts, no matter how much we strive. 

We are transformed through the Holy Spirit. As I said, previously, the status quo is being challenged by those with a heart to follow the direction and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And renewal is being birthed directly in us because we are seeking after something that only God can impart. 

Have you sent something different, something new within yourself? Then tell Jesus today that you're ready to pursue intimacy with Him. Let Him know that you're thankful that He came so that you could get to know both Him and the Father as they truly are. Ask the Holy Spirit to transform you, to mold your heart and mind so that you can receive His love more fully and draw ever closer to Him. 

And as you cultivate a direct, personal, deep relationship with God, there are going to be a lot of things that will be different than you might expect. But it's time to get used to something different.
