Okay, I stopped attending my church because my favorite pastor was let go, he now runs a church out of his home on Sunday nights, what they call an "organic church." I love it. Now, there are a lot of people there that are older than me and more experienced in their walks with Christ. They are so on fire for Jesus and bringing up incredible topics and stories from the bible and all of the teenagers there hardly ever speak because we are so inexperienced. I want to be on fire like the rest of the group, I don't want to be it for them, I want to be on fire for Christ for me. It will help me to better understand the discussions, it will help me to interact more with the people in the group and if I know what to say and what to talk about, I won't feel so stupid to be speaking. My question is, how do I go about being this? Should I get a devotions book or memorize random verses or just read the bible in general? I know I'm a good person and I love Jesus with all my heart but I want to be the one next week to be speaking and raising my voice over the talk of everyone else because I have something incredible to add. Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much, God Bless
Honey, the reason why they are so on fire for Jesus is not the versus the memorize, or the stories they know,the reason why they know these things is because of their relationship with Christ. With any relationship there will be up's and down's, but love and passion must come from the heart, not from a book or from a person, it comes from within yourself. Here is what I would suggest, spend some time in prayer and talk to Jesus about anything and everything. It dousn't have to be anything formal, you don't have to be on hands and knees or in a private area with your eyes closed. If you are taking a walk outside and you gaze up to the sky, thank him for such a beautiful moment or whatever is on your heart at the moment. Spend some time listening to Christ and learn what he has to teach you. Follow your heart and he will lead you where you are supposed to go.
