from ego to God's flow of life

When you mix inspiration with motivation you get enthusiasm.
When you add to it God’s character and
His leading you will live in a revival.
In our ministry we like to talk about the ‘Word of God revival’.
It’s the precious time when God’s people fall in love with the Bible again.
The enthusiasm of it doesn’t leave any God fearing believer cold.
Selfishness has to go. It’s not in the program.
Egoism always turns inward. Enthusiasm reaches out and embraces life.
Someone said that enthusiasm is no-confrontational. Therefore it
doesn’t create winners and losers.
It is based on inclusion, not exclusion of others.
But moving from the ego world to
the world of enthusiasm means big changes.
It means more responsibilities, giving up something.
It also includes that sweet, but for many so scary, element of risk.
Even revival movements are in danger of parking on the highway.
They start spinning around their own discoverings and inventions and
stop seeking the flow of God’s life.
“You give them something to eat.”
This is an invitation to enthusiasm. (Matthew 14:16)
With this surprising statement Jesus invited his disciples out of their
comfort zone to a revival.
The flow of life was there. They just had to step into it.
