When the fire starts to diminish
When you have a strong fire in the fireplace, it draws people towards it. Same will happen when you have a strong fire for GOD.
Recognize what’s happening in your heart
- When your devotion was #1, what was it like
- Repent – something has happened in my life, haven’t worshiped like I should
Refocus your attention to GOD
- MY Job, MY Health, MY Finances, etc…
Stop worrying about you and focus on GOD
Read the Word of GOD daily
- Read a passage and ask GOD to speak to your heart
Seek the Face of GOD in Prayer
- I need to hear from you GOD
- When I hear your word, I’m available to listen
Get involved in the lives of others
Persevere
- Be absorbed in it – Become a fanatic, the same way you know all
about your favorite sports team, be that way about GOD and the
word GOD - Rely on the Holy Spirit to help stir you up
