How Can We

"How can we expect non-Christians to awake if we ourselves are not awakened? How can 'fire' arise if we ourselves do not 'burn'? How shall life be begotten if we ourselves are not truly filled with 'life'?" Erich Sauer

“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭12:30-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Do you?

 Do you love The Lord with everything  in you?

 Is He your first love?

What do you have above Him? Your children? Your spouse? Your career? Your hobby? Your church? Your gift? 

What is your passion?

If HE is not your passion then He is an idol!  If you love anything more than Him; if He is not first place in your heart, your mind and your soul, then He is an idol!‬‬

“Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If He does not consume your every waking thought, and even inhabit your dreams, then He is an idol!

Do you remember the first time you fell in love? He/she occupied your every thought! Everything you did; you did for her/him! 

Should not our love for God be even greater?

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God knows, (just like a wife or husband whose spouse no longer loves them), where your heart is! You can lie to yourself and say, "God knows my heart!", and think you are okay, but I have news for you  - okay - doesn't get it, with God!!!

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Is that you??

Repent of your sin!

Pray that God burns in your heart again, before it is too late!

“And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Read your Bible. Let it bring you Life!

Even so - MARANATHA!
