I’ve written about passion many times before, I know. But this week God kept highlighting passion to me.
I saw Holy Spirit pour over me as liquid gold. I saw this gold residing inside of me. I knew it was liquid gold passion. Oozing passion.
Passion is a difficult word, for many, myself included. Because the world is fallen and so perverse, it’s often a challenge to accurately demonstrate passion.
The world would show passion in all things sexual. All things perverse. Or they would show it in excess. All types of excess.
For everything God has created to be pure, the enemy attempts to counterfeit. Passion is no exemption.
God is obviously passionate. We are made in the image of God; therefore, we are passionate by nature. But many of us are shamed for our pure passion. Or mocked. Or misunderstood…etc.
It’s time to embrace passion. To lean into God and learn what holy passion looks like.
Do any of us truly know what passion is? I’m not sure. I know I’ve seen self-serving passion, but holy passion…I don’t know.
The counter to the unholy passion we see strewn across all things right now is holy passion.
Our churches and families don’t need more bling, they need more passion in the Holy Spirit.
If we will allow God to come and unleash the passion inside of us. The passion He placed within us…then the whole tide will turn.
We can’t allow the gnashing of teeth by the enemy to deter us from coming forward with Godly passion.
Today I encourage you to get into your secret place and ask God to release His passion within you. Then ask Him to lead you in that passion. Ask Him to stoke the fires within your heart so that you could be a light to the world. Leading them out of darkness. Showing them something real, not a version of godliness…but the real God.
Pure, holy, and true.
Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping you passion toward Him boiling hot! Romans 12:11
I am passionately in love with God because He listens to me. He hears my prayers and answers them. Psalm 116:1
