Question : " I have a question and I would really appreciate an answer.
How do you keep the fire burning in your spirit? cause this past few months has been a struggle,the zeal to pray and study Gods word isn't as strong but yet the conviction in my heart is so strong that there's no where else I belong except in God's presence and in his kingdom but I don't feel the zeal and fire that was once there . this breaks my heart, what do I do ?"
Answer : " Our feelings and emotions can be like shifting winds - so much affects them , IF WE ALLOW THEM TO DICTATE THE REALITY of our position and Relationship, to and with our God ! Also of course, Satan will attack you on all fronts ! He is the Enemy of God and of you and me.
Who are you going to listen to ? It's your choice moment by moment. Our bodies NEED nourishment and in certain cases , certain medications. Many mothers will say to their children at the start of a school day" You MUST eat your breakfast; lunchtime is a long way off " Likewise, our Heavenly Father wants to speak to each one of us through the Word he has give us: The Holy Bible. I remember as a teenager ( before I became a real child of God in experiential Relationship with Him, I had to study the four Gospels ( Books of Matthew , Mark, Luke and John. ) for an important High School examination , overseen by the University of Oxford in England . It was vital to meet the challenge of a serious examination. I was surprised as I did so, because the words seemed to 'lift off the pages' for the very first time., and GOD SPOKE TO MY HEART OF THE REALITY OF THE WORDS and I not only passed the Examination with distinction, I shortly afterwards began a real Relationship with God, through the Good News of the Life and Love of Jesus Christ for me which is being daily proven to me right now, because JESUS IS NOT DEAD- HE IS ALIVE !
Likewise , I WORSHIP HIM from my heart - I declare my Love towards Him ( the Scripture says " We love him, because He first loved us " - 1 John, chapter 4 and verse 9 ). He speaks to us and encourages our hearts as we speak ( commune ) with Him and Worship Him. He seeks Worshippers in his Almighty Love relationship. This powerful concept comes from Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, as recorded in John 4:23-24. It means that true worship is not about a specific location or rigid religious rituals, but is a genuine, authentic connection with God, empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in His truth. The above is a very short and simple answer . God wants his children to be whole and healthy in their spirits. He IS OUR ULTIMATE PARENT!
