I thought today I would share with you my thoughts on drawing closer to God. This is truly where we gain our strength, peace, joy, comfort, understanding, knowledge… and so on… As we draw closer to God we are about to walk more in love and more in the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Our walk can be like a raging inferno or like a fire that has been stomped out. Let me explain.
Think of it like this…
Our walk with God is like a fire that is burning..very hot very intense… and as we feed that fire by reading the Word, prayer… spending time with God, we continue to keep that fire going.
- But what happens if we don’t put any more logs on?
- What if we forget about the fire?
- Sooner or later the fire will just burn out right?
Then all you see is the left over smoke rising up from the ashes.
To me that is the state of some Christians….
- They have let their fire go out…
- they have not fed their fire…
- so they have nothing left but the smoke rising…
- there is no warmth..
- no heat….
- no anointing …
- no passion…
- no love…
- no being accountable for sinning… and so on…
You get the picture.
So How Do We GET THAT FIRE BACK?
We start to draw close to GOD!!!
WE come and say fill me up Lord! FILL ME UP! Breathe FIRE into me and fill me up… We read the WORD… we act upon the UNDERSTANDING GIVEN we reach out to others that are hurting.
We PRAISE HIM and WORSIP GOD… WE turn away from the comforts of this life to look forward to the life everlasting!
WE FOLLOW JESUS….. We spend time with Him…. Throughout our day… does not matter if your at home on the job on the road got 10 kids you can still pray think about praise Him even in the midst of your everyday lives…. if you choose too!
Read the Word before going to bed so that is the last thought you have before closing your eyes… wake up with coffee 
in hand and Read the Word when you first wake up!
Start and End your DAY with HIM!
“You will start to see a difference… Come Spend time with ME… It brings ME great JOY!!! “
The Lord has spoke this so many times and once again He is saying COME TO ME……
Be Blessed!
