Passion
A Passion for Preaching
Claude Houde joins the Gary Wilkerson Podcast to share his four fundamental principles for preaching.
Growing in Discernment and Strength
You will never be satisfied or passionate for Jesus if you live with this kind of mixture: “I want to hear things from other voices. The voice of the world, the voice of the flesh, carnality, myself and then a little bit of the voice of God too.”
In the book of 1 Samuel, we see this willingness to live with mixture in the life of the priest Eli, so much so that his eyes had begun to grow dim (see 1 Samuel 2:22-36). He could not see what God was doing any longer.
Neither Hot nor Cold
You may notice in your own life when the Holy Spirit wants to bring you a greater measure of himself, a greater baptism of his power, that you often find these times accompanied by tears. Don’t ever be ashamed of tears. Don’t ever be ashamed to cry. Don’t ever try to remove yourself from the emotions that come when God begins to move in your life. He wants to move not only your mind but also your heart and bring you to a place of tears as well.
Having a Cutting Edge
Many of us have experienced discouragement and lost a passion for the vision and calling God has given us. But God wants to restore the passion and do a miracle, but He wants us to participate in it.
Restoring Your Godly Passion and Purpose
Have you lost your passion, vision, and/or hope in life? Sometimes the axehead falls off and to regain focus, we must ask God to call it back up for us.
