Tapping into realistic action in my life to have spiritual disciple to draw the vision of my spiritually was the goal that I had throughout the class. I’ve learned that restoration is the essential key in our Christian life to simply enjoy the guidance of the Holy Spirit and to introduce this gospel to the people. But before outreaching and challenging myself to all different kinds of practices, I’ve learned that there’s a biblical order to begin the spiritual formation. Throughout the text book ‘Revolution of Character’ by Dallas Willard gave me a thorough order of how our spiritual formation should work. Throughout the early chapters, Willard emphasized that it is our ‘heart’ that determines the outcome of everything.

First is to know who I am and second is who God is to me. It maybe cliché to hear, but these really is my rule of Christian life and pretty much everything for me now. I was always reminded to remember who I was. I was always told again and again that I am different from the ways of the world. I’m not saying that I’m superior than others, but I had a different purpose that the people of world wouldn’t understand. I know by fact I am a child of God before anyone can define me. Playing by the first rule made me realize that I don’t need to follow the way of the world. I don’t need to seek or pursue what people of the world will all desire. I have a different purpose and a different priority and a Christian. That makes me different. I receive different answer from God and achieve different answer that people of the world will have to acknowledge. Always reminding myself that I’m a disciple and an evangelist of God gives me a different view toward people. I’m able to understand why people are facing hardship everyday and know what they need in life the most. I’m also able to fight against the spiritual battle by knowing who my enemy is and who my command-in-chief is. The second rule of ‘knowing who God is to me’ allows me to focus to whom shall I go when hardship kicks in my life. The desire to know him more and to be more intimate makes me have biblical decisions and actions
