What is possible?

I'm more in love with God than I've ever been in my life. It certainly hasn't always been like this. As a matter of truth, it's new, at least to this level. I am constantly hungry for Spiritual food. I go just an hour or two without praying or getting into some praise and worship or a little bit of the Bible; my spirit and soul start to ache. It's hunger pangs. Did you hear that? It's hunger pangs. This is in no form any way of boasting, save for boasting on God's Perfection and Grace. I am amazed by my growth. Make no mistake, it is because of how far God has lifted me up. But it's also due to my efforts. I can choose to settle for less, and there are times that I have. There have also been times in my life when I have sought the will of God for my life, but not like this. I am constantly seeking to be consumed more and more by Holy Fire. I want to grow and shine and be lethal to the enemy. Sounds an awful lot like the 15 year old at a youth camp, no? That's what they sound like, before something else happens to them.
I said to a friend recently that God is getting ready to do some big, big things. Unseen in these times type of things. He said to me that he was tired of hearing that. That he'd been hearing that for years. He'd been hearing it since he was 13, and now at 30, he's still hearing it in today's youth groups. Here's the thing though. God was and is always ready to do something big. It's His people who back off. It's the kid in the youth group that graduates high school, gets a full-time job or gets ready for college. God is waiting for those who are willing to go further for Him than the people before them.
The reason I mention all this is that I have discovered that I am one of those people. God already knew that, He was just waiting for me to catch up. To stop putting limitations on Him. It is imperative that we realize what "apple of His eye" means. It really is a matter of perspective that determines so much about you, about where you're going with God. If you can't see yourself like I've described, then how will your faith increase? The Beastie Boys were right. "The man makin' diamonds out of coal is the one who holds the remote control." How you devour the opportunities that are available only through God determine how far He'll take you.
I've heard it said countless times that there are certain biblical principles that you can benefit from whether you serve God or not. I'm done hearing about that. I've got all I can from that for now. I'm talking about the things that will ONLY happen when you give in to God. Keith Green says in one of his songs, "I want to die and let you give your life to me that I might live." He's talking about dying as fleshly death, the only way for God to truly inspire you to action.
You see, there's only so much God can use you for when you limit Him by not being ready. I don't want to serve a limited God, because it would be completely my fault that He was limited. Dying to the world, crucifying the flesh, getting that hunger; these are the keys to being rocketed ahead towards God's perfect will. The casual Christian mentality will never increase your personal capacity. You'll peak, and rules are rules. That will be as far as you go, your entire life if you so decide.
