There are people I know that when they pray for you wonderfull things happen and things get resolved, there are peple that know when God speaks to them, there are people I know that are passionate for Christ my husband is one of them and there are people that have manifestations of the Holy Spririt and God just uses them so awesomely and powerfully and the seem to flow in life like a beatuiful peaceful river of living waters. My question is How do I have that kind of relationship with the Lord with the things I listed about above? I dont want to be a stagnant dead lifless Christian. I have sins and I wish I could be more like Christ on a daily basis. I always ask God to use be mightily each day even in the boring mundane grunge work that I would give glory to God but somtimes I feel I am not making all that much of a difference.How come some are anionted and others seem to struggle? How can I passion for the Lord who has done so much for me?

You may be surprised at the impact you have around you. Most people who follow Christ do not have parting the Red Sea anointings. They do the one thing that Jesus did. They touch the lives of others and bring gentleness, humor, kindness, patience, in short all the gifts of the Spirit to others. Sometimes the one thing that holds us back is the desire to be seen as a great, anointed Christian. Perhaps the real glory is in being the great, Christlike Christian. God is as proud of you as any of those who do mighty works. He knows you are doing what He designed you to do. And I suspect you do it with great passion.

No, you've just heard the stories that some Christians pass around to try to get new converts. They are just stories. Even though the devout are easily convinced by such stories, there's no reason for you to think they are true. If you choose to be a Christian, and if a god does exist, I think you can do him/her/it the most honor by using the brain he/she/it gave you to its fullest extent. Always remember to think for yourself.
