But if I say, “I will not mention his
word
or speak
anymore in his name,”
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a
fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed,
I cannot.
Jer 20:9
Do you lack inspiration? Is your energy
gone? Do you find it hard to motivate yourself? Do you feel like you’ve worked
so hard, but for so little? You’re thinking: what’s wrong with me? What I am
doing wrong? Why am I not on fire for God and the Kingdom of Jesus?
Listen my friend!
1. You have to find your way back to your heart’s worship, yes
back to Jesus, your savior… Intimacy and walking close to the Father of the
Blood Covenant will for sure light the fire on your heart’s altar and keep it
burning again. Israel’s shepherd and our big God will light a fire in our
bones… Believe me – a few simple worship songs will have tears of thankfulness
streaming down your cheeks again. Sing to Him in your loneliness! I feel His
lovely and strengthening presence just writing this – Jesus my beloved savior…
(Lev 6:13)
2. Your testimony and bold confession will overcome the enemy!
Speak about Jesus! Tell others what He has done for you! I shared Jesus with
someone on the metro today, on my way home from the office – the fire
started burning! (Acts 2:3, Heb 10:23, Rev 12:11)
3. Listen to the Holy Spirit! He wants to whisper beautiful
things in your ear and help you become happy. Don’t forget that He is there
with you always, and His name is “Helper”. (Joh 15.26, 1 Thess 5:19)
4. Return to your holy calling! In the origin vision, and
calling of your Christian life is also your inspiration and strength. (Jer
20:9)
5.
Confess your sin! Sin will draw all energy from you – you will leak water
because there’s a hole in your container… (Ps 32:1-5)
6.
Give yourself to a church family and devote yourself to stand together with
your siblings faithfully, all running in the same direction! Stop going in all
directions like a homeless soul. Dare to take root. Take a deep breath and say:
this is my family! (Heb 10:24-25)
See
ya!
