passion that sets our hearts ablaze

                                                Passion that sets our hearts ablaze


A)     What are you passionate about? What makes you so angery that you want to see a change/something you do about? Now seriously just think and ponder on that for a minute. What comes to mind?
B)      We do lose passion about the things we desire, it’s because we become spiritually asleep and we lose the passion and zeal that we once had. Ephesians  5.14 “Awake oh sleeper and arise.” That’s what we need to do- wake from our spiritual “slumber” and arise to the things that God has called us to do and be. It says in the book of revelation to not be lukewarm for christ meaning- neither being hot or cold. We lose to much hope in our passion thinking we will never be able to obtain what God has shown us. But that’s not true- if we ignite what was once in us and let go of whatever is holding us back we will see the things of God happen in and throughout our lives. If we stop comparing ourselves to one another that will help a lot. Honestly know one in the kingdom is better or more gifted than YOU reading this. You know why this is true? 1 Corinthians 12.4 “there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same spirit is the source of them alll.” Meaning we all have the same holy spirit. Woa. The devil wants us to compare oursleves with one another so we feel like we cant do things or can’t measure up and at times we even get jelous and bitter. Everything that the devil puts up like that is a LIE
C)      God wants us all to seek His face and the more we do that the more He will tell us  and give us. Zephaniah 2.3 “ Seek the Lord,  all who are humble and follow His commands. Seek to do what is right and to live humbly and the lord will protect you.” We have a command to seek the Lord continually and follow His commands all the time. Seriously the more we seek Him the more you find Him. The more you find Him the more He shall show you. Now we must ruse up to a new standard—Everyday. Isahiah 59:17 “He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.”
