Restoring Your Spiritual Passion I Chronicles 11: 10,14, 15-19

To restore – “to give back” “to mend” “to live” “to make whole” “to return” Passion – “of like feelings and affections” “to glow with heat” “to suffer” (Acts 1:3) God is passionate about you and wants intimacy with you Exodus 34:14 – “For you shall worship no other god; for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous – impassioned God.” (Amplified)

Psalm 139:1,2 – “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me Psalm 139:1,2 – “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.” Zephaniah 3:17 – “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” 2. The choice to act passionately towards God is often taken with risks, but the rewards out weigh the risks

“Convictions generated from a genuine encounter with the living God create the passionate act and the strength to carry out the action.”

Moses heard the wish of God at the burning bush John the Baptist heard the wishes of God in the desert Peter heard from the rooftop Mary the mother of Jesus heard the wishes of God through an angel

3. A divine energy creates the Ultimate Passion In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit would come upon them In the New Testament the Holy Spirit has come to live within us. 3 Questions: Am I making spiritual progress?

Romans 12:11a – “….never be lacking in zeal..” Lacking – to pull back, hesitate, retreat, lack of ambition, procrastinate, decline Can I really know where I’m at? Those who know their God have: Great energy for God (Daniel 11:32) Great thoughts of God (Daniel 4:25) Great boldness for God (Acts 5:29) Great contentment in God (Romans 5:1)

Reasons for spiritual decline: Too passionate for something or someone else Too familiar with the good things of God Too tired of daily struggle Too afraid of what being passionate might mean Sin Am I enthusiastic towards God? Am I actively serving others?
