LIVING WITH A PASSION FOR CHRIST
- Natasha Ferguson


James 1:22 tells us to be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Did you realise that your innermost thoughts and convictions on what you believe can be deceiving to you?
You can be living week to week doing, and living, in your MIND when really, in truth you will find yourself having done nothing and not really living at all.

We often see a whole other perspective and point of view when we step out and start living what we truly believe.
Not one person is perfect but I want to raise the question as I do with my self, “ am I” and “are you” really earnestly, truthfully and whole heartedly Living for Jesus.

God is ALWAYS waiting for us, to pray, to read His word, to worship, and to spend time meditating and simply LIVING with LIFE overflowing in Him.There is LIFE and POWER in Him, with your name on it and the Lord is yearning to overflow His presence on you.

How much time do you spend with God? How is your relationship with Him? Are you truly passionate for God?

I believe that God wants to light a fire with His words in the hearts of many believers that with lead them to live their lives in truth with their eyes through faith, living with His love and His life, with His passion for eternity.

Within the word of God are containers of LIFE AND THE POWER that are released as we truly hear, see, speak and live, the word.

Mathew 11:15 says “He who has ears to hear, let him hear. “ :) we read this about thirteen times in the bible.
I like what I once read, “there is a reason that we have two ears and one mouth”  we need to spend more time listening and spending time daily in the word as the mouth is one powerful instrument that can start a fire. (James 5:3)

When we truly learn to rest and flow in His spirit we connect our spirit with Him and there is so much life and spiritual fruit to be found in our lives from God.

We see in John 15:5 Jesus said “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

DON’T BE DECIEVED!

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
HEBREWS 4 :12 nlt


We read in the first chapter of Genesis that before the creation of this world and the creation of man, God’s spirit has been on the earth and the word has always been with God. The word manifested many times throughout the bible but God became personal when He manifested the word as a saviour, the word seen, as Jesus.

When Jesus ascended into heaven He left this spirit and the message of His word with man, the word that we can daily come to live in (THE BIBLE!!  ), it is power, a tower of strength and a solid rock for man to fall on, stand up in, find grace, peace, forgiveness and Love for whatever we need!
Amen! Thank-you God and Thankyou Jesus!!!

God’s spirit that rose Jesus from the dead, lives with us, on the earth, He lives in our heart and His power personally longs to manifest daily in our lives.

If just one tiny smile can brighten up some ones day, How much more can the Holy spirit’s power within you change worlds around you as you daily live and walk with and in the word (Jesus).

Are we striving daily to live and walk out what we truly believe in our hearts?

Are you daily spending time in God’s word, to the extent where in His mercy we find and overflow of His Love and Grace, that compels and calls us to obedience; to share the truth and the power that has been given to us?

His presence will bee seen and his power can only be seen as truth through the eyes of Faith, Hope and Love when we are daily living and resting in and on the truth of His word.
