MY FRIENDS, PASSION; THE OBJECT OF SUCH A FONDNESS OR DESIRE TO SERVE GOD!!
My friends, let’s make it personal as we go beyond any planet or galaxy that the human mind could ever conceive, beyond all boundaries of human intelligence, and once we have allowed this to happen, we need to develop a passion from within that takes us all the way to the throne room, in the presence of “our father which art in heaven”
And once we have arrived, we then witness the heavenly host and the angelic beings singing “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”! And as we see with our on eyes who God is and the pureness of His love, we then develop such a passion to stay in the presence of God. In addition, we will also develop this same passion for the journey we are on, which keeps us focused on where we are going and what it will take to get there.
Remember God has chosen this generation as central participants in the controversy between good and evil, so our battle scares must produce a passion for the battle, along with a feeling, and a determination which can only be defined by our actions. The world is deteriorating before our very eyes. The battle is now over our Character.
But only you and I can decide the outcome, because the war is won, Christ will soon come to take those with the passion to forever stay in the presence of the heavenly host, to go back with him so “choose you this day whom you will have a passion to serve; whether the gods in whose land ye now dwell that one day will be destroyed: or will you have the passion to serve the true God and live throughout the ceaseless ages eternity.
Paul tells us in Gal. 5:24 (KJV) “And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” now Paul is speaking of another type of passion that we crave through the influence of Satan, and with that type of passion your desire is only for a passion for the things of this world. but you cannot have two central passions “either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.”
So if you have a passion for the things of this world then your prayers are not sincere, the study of Gods word is futile, and spreading the good news of the gospel will be bothersome. In addition, until we desire the passion of God’s spirit to transform our lives as we die to self each day, we will continue to live with the passion that only leads to perdition.
So as we continue our journey to the promise land, let’s all do as the demoniac did when he was sent home to be a living representative of our Lord and Savior and what had been done from the touch of the Master’s hand. Luke 8:38-40 (KJV) tells us The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with Jesus, but He sent him away, saying, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.
”So the man went away and told all over town how much Christ had done for him.” now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.” My friends we must also have this same passion; the fondness or desire to serve God as we receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us; as we become witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NIV) as we tell what God has done in our life.
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
