Are You Willing To Be Radical For God? To Step Outside Of Your Norm and Into The Boundaries Of His Love ....

Are you radical?   What are you radical for?   To be radical means to be extreme.   To gar far beyond what is reasonable, moderate, or normal.   The question is who determines what is the norm?   Honestly your actions do.   What you do all the time determines what is normal for you.    Do you pray all the time?  If so, that is your norm.   Do you fail to pray?   Then that is your norm.    So when God asks you to go to the extreme for Him.   What is He really asking you to do?   He is asking you to step outside of what you normally do and do more for Him.

I believe we all need to step out and be radical for God.   We need to go beyond ourselves and be what God created us to be.   In ourselves we can do nothing.   We do what we feel is necessary for survival.   But we have to allow God to be our survival point.  The place where we put our trust and dependence.   

It's time to step outside of self.   To do more than what you are doing.    If your norm is to read a chapter in the Bible a day .... then read a chapter and one extra verse.    If your norm is to pray for 5 minutes .... pray for 7 instead.    The point is .... don't allow your time with God to become a repetitive tradition.   A tradition is nothing more than a customary pattern.    With tradition .... your mind becomes wrapped around a certain expectation.    Whereas, when you become radical for God .....you don't know what to expect.   You know that He will move .... but you don't know how.    When we become radical for God ... He becomes radical for us.   He begins to move in unexpected ways.   He begins to open up doors unexpectedly.   He begins to bring increase unexpectedly.    He begins to heal and manifest His presence ... in ways you never imagined.   

Step out of the box into the boundaries of God's love.    God's love goes beyond anything we could ever imagine.
