After spending a few weeks back in Ohio, I have realized something about how Satan works. He aims to steal believers joy by stealing and blinding us to what our true heart is. I love discipleship. I love worship. I didn't do either of those things this summer. I was pretty miserable inside.
What I am learning is that when the people of the Kingdom do not live in their passions, we will become ineffective and unproductive. But we will also have our joy stolen from us.
Satan's goal is to make believers joyless, ineffective, and unproductive Christians. He can't take us from Christ, but he can take our hearts. I think Ephesians 6 really talks about how to defend against that. God is just really showing me right now that I must run with joy in my passions or I just won't make it. I will fall into sin. We all will.
What are your passionate about doing for the Kingdom of God? If you don't know, as Him to show you. And start doing them.
"You make known to me the path of life;in your presence there is fullness of joy at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 15:11
