Get Back Your Fire and Passion

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. –Isaiah 43:19 NLT

God wants to reignite the fire and passions within our souls! When we begin to lose our shine, He’ll make it brighter than before. When our virtues give way, He’ll help us regain them. Should we lose our self, He’ll help us rediscover the person He’s fashioned us to be. When His Spirit stirs within, it’s time to rise up and take back what’s been stolen—our joy and our desire to live and go after God’s good plan and purpose for our lives. It’s time to get excited about the new things God has in store for you! It’s time to declare, “God is working in my life for good. He’s moving all things out of my path that have been preventing me from going forward. God is for me, nothing formed against me will succeed. He who began a good work in me will continue to bring it to completion. Change and transformation are taking place in and through me. I’m grateful that God has not given up on me. His Spirit is alive within me. God’s favor is upon me and goes before me throughout this New Year!”Boot the enemy out and get back your fire and passion!
