PASSIONATE FOR THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!

We as God's soldiers need to be passionate about the Gospel of Jesus in our every moment of every day.
This passion for Jesus, His word, prayer, the ongoing presence of The Holy Spirit and compassion for the lost are mandatory for those who call themselves CHRISTIANS!
If we as the people of God just settle for the basic necessary spiritual practices there will not be the "Kingdom achievements " that are required in this day at this time in history. Holy Ghost passion will keep you and your influence for Jesus' sake going when some others have given up or given in to such tragic responses as :cynacism, bitterness, criticism, apathy, blandness , self-centredness, and even small vision for Kingdom business.
King David had a passion for the House of God, and he expresses this repeatedly in 1 Chronicles 29:3-5 (read it). This passion and action will always have practical application in your life and the lives of others around you. Holy passion is CONTAGIOUS and quite frankly we /I can never be over zealous for the work of the kingdom of Jesus.
Spiritual passion is expressed with love for God, His people and His house. When any of us "COOL OFF" there is a obvious change in our passion for Jesus , His work, His love , His calling in our own lives. Don't sell out , don't settle down, don't be lulled into second best for Jesus , please.
How does one measure their passion for Jesus? Other people get fired up for the Gospel when they're around you. Cooled off people become convicted and hopefully rededicate their lives to the cause Of Jesus Christ. There is a "holy fire" that burns up every trace of sin and Psalm 51 is prayed more than once a day.
Holy passion, get it ,please for a lost world's sake , for JESUS' sake.

PSALM 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God;and renew a right , persevering,passionate,steadfast spirit within me"
