Extraordinary Life

Living an extraordinary life requires us to walk with someone extraordinary, who will teach us, help us, and support us in all things. Imagine having a life coach with unlimited knowledge, wisdom, and revelation, who is accessible to every believer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Someone who knows all things, understands us completely, and is always present to guide us.

That Someone is the Holy Spirit, living within us!

1 Cor 2. 9But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?

Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

It Starts With a Relationship

An extraordinary life is to live a supernatural life led by the Holy Spirit. It’s deeply dependent on how much relationship you desire to have with your heavenly Father by the Holy Spirit. This is why it is written “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.” The things God has prepared for us – start to work out in our lives as we are led by the Holy Spirit.

This is why it says “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

What Things –

Over the last decade, I can testify to so many marvellous and astonishing things God has prepared and brought to fruition in the lives of His people. From healings and deliverances to new homes, jobs, marriages, businesses, ministries, families reconciled mindsets, trauma, hearts healed, new desires, new hope and so much more.

When the Spirit of God begins to work in the lives of believers, the possibilities seem endless and, at times, overwhelming. It’s like a powerful wave of life, picking people up and planting them in a completely new destination — almost like being carried into paradise compared to the lives they once knew!

Build a Trusting Relationship with God the Father

Why? Because we need to be taught by Him, just as the disciples were taught by Christ. This means developing such a close relationship with the Lord that our hearts are changed, we begin to share His heart and posture, and the deep things of the Spirit of God become part of our own nature.

A heart being transformed. The wonderful news is that it doesn’t matter what age you start. God is timeless! The revelation, wisdom and understanding you need between the ages of 10–16, 18–25, 25–30, 30–40 or 50-plus, the Lord provides revelation for each stage of your life. He know what you need.

It doesn’t matter where you are today or how old you are. You can always draw closer, grow deeper and discover more of what is available to you through your relationship with your Heavenly Father. There is always more to discover in Him!

How To Access the Father

A young man whose experience of his earthly father has left him with negative associations with the word father found it difficult to relate to God in that way. But our relationship with our Heavenly Father is not dependent on having had a good relationship with our earthly father. [Ephesians 2.14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

This may be helpful for some to understand if struggling with a God as Father. 1. Jesus has removed the barrier – Jesus has reconciled us to God through His death on the cross, removing the separation caused by sin. Our past experiences, including painful family relationships, do not have to define our relationship with God. 2.

We have a new identity in Christ

Through Christ, we become part of one new man. We are no longer defined by our earthly family experiences but by our new identity and relationship with God in Christ. 3.

Jesus has reconciled us to God

. Our reconciliation rests on the finished work of Jesus Christ, not on our feelings or our ability to relate to God in a particular way. We can come to Jesus as we are; He reveals the Father’s heart. 4.

We have access to the Father

. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.” Our access to the Father is established through Jesus Christ, not determined by our earthly upbringing or relationships.

To Live an Extraordinary Life Take a Mindset Shift

To live this type of lifestyle takes a real mindset shift, it will depend on how much you renew your mind to the truth that the Holy Spirit teaches about Spiritual truths. Like you are ● Connected to God ● Loved by God ● Chosen by God ● Wanted God And more so it takes you to believe “16For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

The Mind Of Christ

Believe the Gospel of good news, all of it, not just parts. The mind of Christ is how Christ thinks, acts, believes and walks. It is an entire life dedicated to God and this means fulfilling the first commandment: to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. It’s not about following the world or its ways, but at times doing the opposite.

It’s a life of self-control and discipline, allowing the Lord to plan your life and walking, as much as possible, according to the plan God has for you. He calls us to walk in the good works that God has prepared for us. Ephesians 2:10 – Walking in the good works God has prepared for us.

What’s Stopping You

The biggest battle is going to be with your flesh and mind. In other words, you need to learn to get out of the way! Once you get your mind still, take control of your thoughts and bring your flesh under control, you begin to remove the resistance that holds you back from living in the things of the Spirit.

Remember the analogy we use of an aeroplane taking off. It has to overcome the resistance on the runway, lift off and rise until it reaches its cruising altitude. In the same way, we must learn to move beyond the pull of our flesh and the distractions of our minds.

How to End Strong & Live an Extraordinary Life

Sometimes we simply need to pause, take a step back and have a fresh start with the Lord. Don’t be discouraged or condemn yourself if you’ve drifted or become distracted. Remember your first love and the joy of walking closely with Him. Start making even more time for God the Father.

Get into the secret place and invest in building your relationship with Him. Remember, Christ Himself regularly withdrew from the crowds and spent time alone with the Father. Have regular check-in times with the Lord each day, ideally at least three quality times when you are still and know that He is God.

Work on building your relationship with the Lord and the Holy Spirit who is the helper and comforter will help you to abide in Him Make time for waiting upon the Lord, regularly reading the Scriptures appropriate to your life and needs. Ask the Lord to give you Scriptures to read and meditate on.

Spend time on thanksgiving and praise each day. The Joy of the Lord is our strength If you can put these spiritual habits into practice and make them part of your lifestyle, you will start to live an extraordinary life through the Spirit of God.
