IT FACTORS:
- if you want your ministry to have it, more important than anything else, we've discussed, you must have it
- As we increase, it decreases
- God is what you need and is the answer to your problems
- If you think you can buy it, you've already lost it
- You might need to start with the confession, "I've lost it. I've taken my eyes off the prize. I've been distracted from a wholehearted pursuit of Christ."
- Ask God to give it back
- To get it back, do the things that brought it before
- God will help you find what you didn't mean to lose
-When you become comfortable and complacent in your relationship with God, you'll lose it. Comfort is the enemy of faith. Without faith, it's impossible to please God
- Your greatest limitation is often your mind. Your body can do more than your mind can understand
- Let God stretch you. Attempt what others say can't be done. You have more in you than you realize. God has put more in you than anyone else sees. Ask God to stretch you. As he does, you might start to find it again.
- If you want to keep it, ask God to ruin you. Expose yourself to something you know will move you. Feed the hurt. Let it grow. Let it bother you. Invite it to overtake you. God loves to give it to ruined people.
- To be healed, we have to first admit the ways we're sick or in need, you might have to face something you've stuffed, ignored, or rationalized for years. Are you ready to confess your need?
