The Christian life is one that is part mystery. We know much of the facts to being a Christian. We know that it centers on believing in Jesus Christ and following His commands. But it is not just a religion of facts and rules - it goes beyond our understanding to the supernatural.

To know Jesus Christ and to follow Him is not something we can do with our intellect or our own determination. It requires a supernatural presence of the Holy Spirit. That is tough for us to get our hands around. Who is the Holy Spirit? How does He work in us?

It can all seem strange and it is - it is out of this world, out of our understanding, and out of our comfort zone many times. But if we try to be a Christian on our own - we will simply be frustrated and disappointed (not to mention missing out on God)

In the Bible God tells us: 26"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27"I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. 28"You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God. Ezekiel 36:26-28

In this passage we see that God puts HIs Spirit within us to change our hearts and our lives. The Spirit of God in us does a supernatural work to transform us into His people. Unfortunately we often try to live as a Christian in the natural. We do not acknowledge the supernatural power and wisdom and grace of the Spirit in us. We view life through the limits of natural lenses instead of supernatural possibilities.

When we understand the Spirit is real and the Christian life is lived in the supernatural - we will change our focus to Him. The Spirit lives in us to live through us. Let us begin living in daily abiding and dependence of the Spirit and we will see Him do the supernatural work He is here for.

Gal 5:25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
