"If we want the Word of God to have authority in our life, there is only one way - obey it. If we want the Holy Spirit to have authority in our life, there is only one way - Obey Him.

"Here lies the tremendous mystery - that God should be all-powerful, yet refuse to coerce. He summons us to cooperation.

"When God doesn't want me to do something, I definately know it. When he wants me to do something, even if it means going outside my comfort zone, I know that too. I feel pushed in the direction I need to go...I try to stand up for my faith at shcool... It can be discouraging, but it can also be rewarding... I will die for my God. I will die for my faith. It's the least I can do for Christ dying for me."
