Extreme Faith

If you are going to live might as well do everything to the max, right?!? haha I kid but in honestly I feel that maybe that is my life’s m.o.

Over the past few years I have been living in a way that can only be described as such, nothing about my life is typical and has a level of extraordinary that either intrigues or stresses other people out along the way. Recently, I received a compliment that may not have been intended as such an impactful compliment and it really puts me into perspective. “You are holding it together really well for someone that has no idea where you will be laying your head tonight.” Some of you reading this might immediately retract and some want to know more… know you understand the sentiment at the beginning of this paragraph.

So, what exactly is this “extreme faith” living and why do I feel important to write about?

The fact of the matter is this: we are living miracles and yet life itself is being pushed further away from that truth while this world is an actual battlefield among spiritual forces and we are the pawns, treasures and/or players of this massive arena.

The truth is that God, the maker of the Universe and the magnificent ways life is, wants relation with you. To show you all the glory of life and how much He loves you is The Gift. To walk with you, provide and protect you through all that is in this fallen structure of a world is HIs greatest desire. Out of all of creation, you are the most treasured and the most sought out relationship; it is because of that great value that the war of life is in place. I don’t want to go too far into the battle that is among and within us in this post, but at some point I will share the depths of that topic along with the realizations of the Adam and Eve healing. For now, let’s focus on this idea and importance of extreme faith.

So, what is it?

Extreme faith is walking in the opposite direction of societal comforts and having no idea where you are going but know you are being called to be of service beyond your current scope of living. It is tuning into the soft yet powerfully deliberate instructions from the Holy Spirit to turn right, ask that person and or leave now. It is the knowing and expecting of God’s faithfulness to your life being better than ever through His provisions and ways. It is having a complete surrender and allowance for the blood and light of Christ to protect you as you explore unknown territory in every way. It is trusting that somehow, someway it will all make sense and work out because not only is it your birthright to thrive but God wants it for you. Extreme faith is allowing the boldness of your heart to give away precious items to others and feeling the amount of love expand as you see the joy and appreciation in them instead. It is the most courageous and terrifying exploring of life that you will ever take and yet will find repeatedly that it is exactly what is needed in order to truly know what it means to live. Extreme faith is being able to be grateful for everything in a way that far exceeds the typical forms of gratitude (and this includes the ability to be grateful for the lessons and pains along the way too).

Extreme faith is not to be taken lightly and I truly believe it is a necessary (movement).

I find that the more I am on this journey the stronger my faith and appreciation for God’s love becomes. I see how lost and hurt the world is and how much God is trying to get everyone’s attention to turn to Him more. I feel the humanness of this way of living along with the incredible magnificence of being a child of the most high all in one (I would be lying and doing a disservice if I said it was easier than it is).

I know there is great purpose in the process with and through this journey of mine and I would like to share further details of it in my subscribers page on this site at some point. In the meantime, let me know how you feel about this topic, are you feeling encouraged to take a leap of faith in some way or have you slammed the laptop shut and rolled your eyes thinking that this girl is off her rocker?

Remember, this life is meant to be lived and if you are so far gone through the broad lost path or too far consumed in the dangerous plays of this world… only extreme faith can get you moving in the direction to attain the life you were created for. Whether you care what I say or not, I know you are loved and worthy of greatness. I know God wants to get your attention and let Him show you the way. I know it will surprise you, bring delight and be better than you could ever imagine. After all, He made life possible therefor nothing is impossible for Him.
