Christian life and Christianity is about Life and Reality living in God's Presence in the present and in eternity simultaneously; in the natural world and the spiritual realm at the same time; the seen and unseen sphere partallel universes interfaced habitat once called , Garden of Eden but now known by many names - like the Kingdom of God, Zion, the One New Man in-Christ , etc.!
It is my experience and I am sure many of you too!, that it is wisest for you to stay away from any set forms, rituals, or patterns , or way of putting Christ into a neat package when it come to living and discovering Christ daily in your Christian walk. The moment you forced God into a set way or system , spiritual life dry up and the Holy Spirit withdraw.
The Holy Spirit cannot be controlled nor be dictated as to how He should move. He is likened unto Breathe, Wind, Fire, and where the Spirit Is, there is liberty!
If at any time living a Christian life causes you to feel robbed of this freedom, where your will, emotion or mind are being pressed in and pressured to act or oppressed and suppressed. It is a clear signs of NOT THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! It is not His nature!
Note: When the Holy Spirit is restraining you from any bad choices you have make or are making; you will still have the freedom and freewill and mind to change courses without the false sense of fear put upon you nor any coercion or forced pressure asserted upon you emotion, will nor mind.

Well said.
It is all about "relationship".
More I relate to someone, more close and intimate I come to that person.
It is the same with God. He gave us His son to redeem us and renew this "personal relationship" that was already in place before the fall of Man.
