What's Our Purpose?

" I want to know you, let you're spirit overwhelm me, let your presence overtake my heart." This is the cry of a man that wants to be completely sold out to Christ. Think about it, telling God that you want to be personal with him, that you want to be awed by his awesome spirit, and that you want his presence to totally consume your inner man. How much do we know God? When God says go, can we hear his small whisper? We always think of God as someone with a thundering voice and when someone hears from him, its through a great revelation. A matter of fact, its often the opposite with God. God will speak in small ways to do big things at times, and if we aren't close enough to hear him, we could miss out on a life changing experience. When  I think about the times that I was a witness of Gods awesome power, it was at a time when I least expected it. It was at a youth camp that I was there expecting to have a nice refreshing time with God, not a wake up call. It was at a wednesday night youth group that I almost skipped going to because I was tired. It was a night in prayer that God laid on my heart to start a one month fast. God works in ways that we cant trace. He is all powerful and mysterious. That is what is so great about God. He is the perfect king and no matter how much you study him, there will always be more to learn about him. So let us make sure we don't grow apathetic in our walk with Christ.  We are here to know God, and to do that, we must be seeking him constantly. It seems to me that Christians these days are scared to get too close to God. Wether it is the thought that they might be known as a, " holy roller," or if they just don't want to sacrifice, is something I have often wondered. Please, please, please! Do not be afraid to live all out for God, it is our very purpose in this life. God wants to know you, to fill you with his spirit, and to overwhelm you with his mighty presence. Don't settle for less of God. We sometimes only allow God to rattle our cages, while God is thinking more on the path of turning you're life completely around.  I want to answer the question, what is our purpose? It is to know God and everything he has to offer you, to give you life and life more abundantly. Remember, we were born to praise him.We need to wake up each morning reminding ourselves of our purpose, which is to worship the king.
