True Fire

Alright. During this blog ask yourself these questions.
Don't be afraid to talk to the screen.
You gotta interact with this.

Have you ever heard the phrase "on fire for God"
Go ahead be honest... answer... alright well if you haven't I'll describe it as this. Someone who is burning with passion and desire to serve God, and the fruits of the spirit are abundantly overflowing in their lives.

Sounds pretty awesome right?

[did you answer?? way to catch on ;) ]

As a Christ follower we should want to have this fire for God in our lives. Maybe you've had this fire before but after awhile it dies down.

Alright for all you smart people out there,
How do you keep a fire from going out???
by feeding it.

In the same way we have to continueously feed are spiritual fire, How often do you have to feed a real fire to keep in burning?? Feed your spirit with just as much fuel. Now where do get the fuel to feed this spiritual fire? (I'll give you a second to answer) We get it from spending time with God. In His word and in prayer. So what happens if you don't feed a fire?

It goes out.

plain and simple.
That is why it is so vital for us as Christians to constantly be feeding our spiritual
fire. It is the only way we can keeps from becoming ineffective in Christ. Do you want to become ineffective? When you wake up in the morning and decide your too tired to spend time with God you aren't feeding that fire, therefore you become ineffective. So feed your fire.

We alone can do nothing. So rejoice in the hope God has given you. For he has given you the Holy Spirit so you may serve as witnesses. Wake up everyday, ready and prepared to burn with passion becuase God sent his Son to die for you. All because God loves you so much He wants to spend eternity with you. You have to be dedicated to keep the light glowing in your life, dedicated to feeding your fire
. If not, you could find yourself in darkness.


Where to start?
Lots of places.
