“Followship is not achieved serving a power no higher than self, it is enabled by serving Jesus, following His way, truth and life. Followship is having confidence in Jesus’ life, strength and ability, that is in me. I confidently know, without a doubt, I can do all things through the Holy Spirit’s navigation and empowering, as I stay wholly-holy aligned with Him in vital-vertical relationship. Being “Intentionally Kingdom Cultured” allows Jesus total access to my life and I to His. It is a relationship, not religiosity or duty, it is passionate, not stale traditions. I am constantly aware of His Presence with me; His Word, His Promises are guarding me, and navigating me. On this day, God’s Holy Spirit is sanctioning and sanctifying me as I listen up and stay in constant conversation with God. My confidence is in Christ Jesus, as I open my heart wide to Him, loving Him first, serving Him with reverence, honor and respect as I follow after His lead. I pursue God first, with a devoted life-passion, sacrificial in characteristic, just like Jesus. On this day, I hope and pray for less of me and my ways and more of God and His life, truth and ways, to dominate my flesh, to change up my human condition to be more like Him. Today, I look to God, I connect myself in vital-vertical relationship with God, desiring to be taught, by God’s Holy Spirit, listening up and staying in constant conversation with God. Join me on my journey to be “Intentionally Kingdom Cultured” by God’s Holy Spirit, it will be a great God Adventure! KimberlyMac
The crowds will naturally go to the main attraction—the bride will go where the bridegroom is! A bridegroom’s friends rejoice with him. I am the Bridegroom’s friend, and I am filled with joy at his success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. “He has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. I am of the earth, and my understanding is limited to the things of earth. He tells what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! Those who believe him discover that God is a fountain of truth. For this one—sent by God—speaks God’s words, for God’s Spirit is upon him without measure or limit. The Father loves this man because he is his Son, and God has given him everything there is. And all who trust him—God’s Son—to save them have eternal life; those who don’t believe and obey him shall never see heaven, but the wrath of God remains upon them.” John 3:29-36 LB

Timothy and the Holy Spirit~ I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift God imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you. For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control. So never be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor be embarrassed over my imprisonment, but overcome every evil by the revelation of the power of God! He gave us resurrection life and drew us to himself by his holy calling on our lives. And it wasn’t because of any good we have done, but by his divine pleasure and marvelous grace that confirmed our union with the anointed Jesus, even before time began! 2 Timothy 1:6-9 The Passion Translation
