Getting Back My Passion

Over the past year and a half because of all that I was going through I slowly lost my passion, joy and desire I had for God. I wouldn’t even dance or use my banners in church. I didn’t even realize my passion was just about gone until recently.
It was on a Sunday morning the worship service was awesome. The presence and anointing was so so strong. I knew it but just didn’t care. I felt numb in my body and spirit. When I realized what was happening I started to get discouraged even more. I was able to share with a friend what I was going through but still didn’t really have a desire to worship, pray or even read my Bible. I even cancelled my Fab40 account because I didn’t want to read anything about what God was doing in others lives.
Then my friend said, “You can stay in that place for a while and go through what you have to go through but I won’t let you die there. Not on my shift.”
That was when I realized I was dieing. The enemy came in and subtley started to steal my passion. The smile on my face did not reflect what I was feeling on the inside and I knew I had to do something.
See the enemy wanted my passion and desire to worship God because it was beautiful to God. He wanted to steal it and destroy it. The enemy won’t steal anything that hinders you from worshipping God only that which draws you nearer to Him. So now I had to go into the enemys camp and get it back. I knew when I went to get it back the enemy would put up a fight. But I wasn’t about to take it back subtley like the way he stole it. I was going in with a vengence. I’m tired of him messing with my mind.
So I went in and got it back and more. Dispite the arthritis he tried to give me—- I have been dancing before the Lord.
There is a song that goes “I wanna dance with the King of the ages, don;t wanna sing of a passion I’ve never known, Wanna get lost in the beauty of Jesus, Dance through the night around His throne“.
So when you start to feel overwhelmed, discouraged or don’t feel anything at all, or feel like you have lost your passion, “GET UP AND DANCE“. Dance on the head of the enemy. He;s under your feet. Then get back your passion and dance some more.
