What things give you energy?

View all responses

I love the kinetic energy
Of God's spiritual motion
Empowering my heart.
It's more than
A mental notion
Or a human emotion.
It's an inner flow
That makes me grow
And causes me to know
The reality of
Christ's presence and power.
Throughout the day
Jesus energizes me
Hour by hour. 

It's hard to have an energetic body when you have a weary heart. Make your heart ever attentive to Christ's still small voice. Open up to the inner energy of God's free flowing Spirit. The best energy drink is to drink in and savor the glorious presence of the risen Jesus. The cleanest energy is Christ in you.

Although a tightly controlled and rigidly programmed format has been the norm for church services for centuries, the Bible presents an alternative. See 1 Corinthians 14:26 and learn about the supernatural order of Spirit-led meetings. For a wonderful adventure with the living Jesus, shift from a programmed church format to Christ's Spirit-led town hall meeting. For far too many Christians Jesus is an intermittent energy source.

It's important for Christians to go beyond mere religious formalism and tradition into being Spirit-led disciples of the risen Jesus. But we need to be careful that we don't distort or reject the scriptural truths about Him. Too often what people call "deconstructing their faith" is the act of abandoning the basic beliefs of New Testament Christianity.

My sustainability depends on Jesus. Lord, have mercy on me a sinner!
