About this ebook

This is not meant to be nice, polite,
feel-good teaching to tickle your ears.
This is meant to slap you upside the head,
get your attention, and let you know
how much power is available for you
to use in your daily walk with Jesus.
Walking in the Spirit is radical Christianity—
allowing the presence of God to infuse your life.

Author

David Bergsland

For me, my early life culminated with the great rebellion of the sixties. Ending up as a fine artist and heavy user of pot and acid, I needed help. I met Jesus in 1974, and my life began, for real. The Lord gave me an amazing Godly woman for my wife in 1976. I became a graphic designer, font designer, and desktop publisher. In 1991, I began teaching printing and digital publishing. That resulted in writing dozens of books and booklets about the practical processes, using InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. In 2009, I began the transformation into an author of fiction. By the end of 2022, I had 17 novels in five series, as I have developed my craft. This book is #20, and is the third book of the sixth series. I’m using Christian contemporary speculative fiction with some Biblical romance to share stories about the reality of how Jesus touches our day-to-day lives, while being strongly focused upon Biblical truth. I put the stereotypical Bible quoters in the same category as robo-callers. I attempt to reveal Jesus within a realistic world sharing my experiences. The goal is to reveal Jesus as a loving Creator building people into what they are designed to be. I currently assume time is running short, and the final harvest is here.

    As the end approaches

    One of the things that really concerns me as I watch the world in the second decade of the new millennium is the sad state of preparedness in the church. Notice I used the word church—not the Body of Christ. For our purposes here, we really need to separate these things.

    Churches are organizations no longer lead by God or people sent by God. They are self-sustaining. They are run by committees and lawyers. They are considered businesses. In this view churches are all those congregations where the original founder has left—like Luther died several years back.

    The Body of Christ is all the people of God who have been born from above like Jesus talks about in John 3. That is an essential part of salvation. The problem is that accessing the power of God in your life is not essential to salvation. It is very possible for a believer to be almost completely unequipped to deal with real, severe troubles.

    Some of this is not your fault

    The sad truth is that many churches: catholic, protestant, Pentecostal, and non-denominational no longer teach what is actually available in reality for believers. Paul told us this was coming in II Timothy 4:3. I'll use the ESV here.

    For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

    Now you may find yourself in a church like this. They do dominate the Christian world in America at this point. In fact, we find increasingly that true Christianity is ridiculed, persecuted, and mocked. True believers are called fanatics or much worse. You can't find a conversation about what Jesus is doing in our lives today.

    A lot of it is your fault

    If you have been born from above, you have (or had) a real hunger to learn more about the things of the Lord. What's available at your church may not be very satisfying, but the Holy Spirit is in you to teach you these things.

    If you seek first the kingdom of God

    If you are willing to do what it takes to come to know your Lord well

    If your goal is to please Jesus

    If you ask Him

    If you study diligently

    The key is to understand that you were completely equipped for your walk in the Lord from the moment you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. The power is there. All you have to do is give it permission to be active in your life.

    If you are not, repent of your sin and ask Him to forgive you. Then you need to ask Jesus to be Lord of your life. This is just the first step. The next one is up to you. Before you became alive in Jesus you were not free to access the power of God. Now you are.

    Go for it!

    You need to be possessed by the Spirit of God.

    Possession has a really bad ring to it, doesn't it? However, that is simply due to the fact that we always preface possession with demon. Demon possession is a bad thing—obviously. More than that it is exceedingly dangerous to all of those people around the one who is possessed.

    However, the Holy Spirit is God himself and a gentleman at the
