This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Dad?" God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what's coming to us — an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with him! Romans 8:15-17 (The Message )
What's next, Dad?
You are walking in God’s life and revival when this is the question of your life, the longing of your heart. This is when hard times turn you towards God rather then away from Him. It is when your focus is on Him not on your present circumstances.
For many, religion is “a grave tending life.” It is doctrines and rules. It is life without God. How boring! No wonder people avoid Church. But God is not about religion.
I know that I am only truly alive when I am walking with my Father God. I am only truly alive when I am asking God “What's next, Dad?”
Is this what they say of you in heaven? - He/she is our brother/sister and God’s co-worker in proclaiming the Good News of Christ. We sent him/her to strengthen you, to encourage you in your faith, 1Thessalonians 3:2 (New Living Translation)
Your Destiny is in God

Submission to God is a beautiful thing
At Church today I saw a 'person' at the front of the Church. They were glowing so white that I could hardly look at them.(I knew I was seeing the spirit of someone, the 'redeemed spirit' of someone. I thought it was a woman, but don't know how I knew as there were no identifying features.) The person was kneeling in submission to God. While still kneeling they leaned forward and looked like they were laying themselves (folded over) into a grave. The thought hit me, "They are laying down their life for God". As they 'melted' into the grave a shell of a seed unfurled from below them and wrapped around them. They turned into a seed. The seed was ornately carved. I thought "I can't wait to see what it grows into."
The whole 'event' was one of the most beautiful things I've seen. Laying down your life in submission to God is a beautiful thing. Seen by God's perspective wow. I am still awed by the vision.
