“Passionate Christianity should be the norm for every believer - not the exception.” —- Stoval Weems in book “Awakening”

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. —Romans 12:11 (NIV)

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. —John 10:10 (NIV)

Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose]. —James 4:10 (AMP)

for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,

“Awake, O sleeper,
rise up from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.” —Ephesians 5:14 (NLT)

Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. —Ephesians 4:23-24 (NLT)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take. —Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. —1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)

Dear God, Thank you for your love and your grace.  Thank you for shedding light into my life.  I repent of my sin and ask that you would renew my thoughts and attitudes.  Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart.  Teach me to seek you in all that I do.  Please continue to awaken me spiritually to all that you are, to all that you desire to accomplish in me, and all that you desire to accomplish through me.  I will follow you.  In Jesus name, Amen.
