What's God been doing in your life?

I was raised in church and grew up a Christian but not until recently (age 35) have I started to see past the "ritual" of church. I've always prayed, read, went to service, volunteered, etc. I was doing all the right things but recently I have had a deeper revelation, a personal revelation of who Christ is and what God means to me.
God's love for us, His purpose for us, His plan for us is amazing. Our church recently has experienced a real move of God lately where people are staying up to 4 hours to just sing, pray, and share with one another what God is doing in their life. No hype, no rah-rah, just genuine love for God and His people. It's been really refreshing. I feel energized by it and during these times of worship, God has really ministered to me and has been working on my heart.
I am looking forward to whatever is next, that's for sure. Anyone else have anything they want to share?

I hear you man, a related subject has been on my mind as well. And thanks for sharing, I don't seem to get a notification or anything when there's a post in the group, but I know I need as frequent a reminder as possible of what really being a Chritian is all about.

I grew up being taught that being a Christian was about what you could do for God, making good choices, and living up to God's standards. While there is nothing wrong with any of those things, God's intentions were all about relationship and us taking our place as sons and daughters in His kingdom. That relationship is what brings power into our lives and releases God's blessing. It's not a ritual or religion, it's personal.
The one thing that I have really focused on the past few years is our purpose to live as vessels of God that aren't just full of God's spirit or doing the right thing for our own sake but to be able to give what we have to others. To be a minister, mentor, brother, friend to others. To people at work, men in our church, etc. That God's gift of love and His spirit just don't exist to make me feel good but to give it away. That's what it was meant for.

FYI - there is a 1,000 character limit to posts. I found out the hard way when I typed 1,349 and had to edit it before it would let me post it. LOL

Yep, It's important that we live right and do good works, but if we focus on Jesus, then we'll have a desire to live right and He'll help us to do right!
Btw, I don't believe your works save you. "Not by works, least any man should boast." It's Jesus who does the saving, all we have to do is accept Him!
Thanks for sharing, if someone knows a way to send notifications to all the members, please set that up! I love this group! You guys are awesome! Or rather the guy that Lives in you!
