I want to take a stand for what God loves and against what God hates. I want my confidence in Him to be stronger than my intimidation from Satan. Is that just one thing?

"I want to be radically OBEDIENT to the Spirit of God, and as a result, fulfill the Great Commission in a fun, exciting, and powerful way never before seen on Earth." If I could have that, I would be satisfied. The one thing I want more than anything is obedience. That's my "Solomon request". I've lived in radical disobedience and I've seen the fruit of that. (Getting tested for HIV is never fun, trust me.) Yet the fruit of my obedience has been so amazing I can't stand the idea of not growing and pruning that into large and healthy tree.
