Spiritual Taste Buds (Part 4): RE-sensitize
Not sure about you,
But I've never thought so much about taste buds in my whole entire life!
I love how God uses our body to be a great example for spiritual truths.
God is just COOL like that! ^_^
In our previous messages, we talked about the high of SENSITIVITY,
How every master of their craft,
Whether it's a pro golf player, musician, artist or chef,
All pursue a high level of SENSITIVITY.
Then we discovered the tragedy of an IN-sensitive person who's nerves don't work. Lastly, we became aware of Spiritual DE-sensitization through OVER-stimulation and the buffet of Spiritual cocaine we have in life today.
(Previous messages: Part 1: Sensitivity, Part 2: IN-sensitive, Part 3: DE-sensitized)
Whoa.
That can seem pretty doom and gloom if we stopped there,
It can seem like this world is going to hell in a hand basket,
BUT then Jesus...
Jesus is not done yet,
Jesus is just getting started,
The BEST is yet to come,
Jesus can RESTORE and RE-sensitize your Spiritual Taste Buds,
To make it BETTER than you ever imagined,
Causing you to have a fiery, passionate, purpose-driven life with Jesus.
Oh yeah, BRING it!
First we must realize how incredibly MESSED up we are,
And see that we keep doing self-destructive behavior,
"As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly."
ADMITTING that we're addicted to Spiritual cocaine is the FIRST step to turning this ship around.
It's like the first step from the 12 Steps for AA (Alcoholics Anonymous).
STEP 1) "We ADMITTED we were powerless over [Spiritual Cocaine] – that our lives had become unmanageable."
You may be thinking, "Does this really apply to me?"
Let's see...
How's your health? Is your health degrading because of work or busy-ness? Have you been unable to change your actions regardless of doctor visits and bad labs reports?
How's your mental health? Do you have trouble turning off your mind or going to sleep? Do you have anxiety or stress that prevents you from resting?
How are your relationships? Do you have a fractured relationship with a spouse or child that you continue to neglect because you're too busy?
If any of these apply to you...
If the busy-ness and demands of this world is killing your health, relationships or mental health,
Then you're NOT in power,
You NEED God to rescue you from yourself,
You NEED to ask God for HELP.
The great news is
The solution is simple,
God already WON your battles and has the SOLUTIONS,
He's just been waiting on you to LET God be God in Your life.
So just let go of the wheel,
And quit holding on so tight,
Let go of the FEAR,
LET God be God in Your life,
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
When you do LET God be God in your life,
There's no relationship He can't RENEW,
There's no mental illness He can't HEAL,
There's no dead situation He can't bring back to LIFE,
He will RESTORE all that seems lost.
"I will RESTORE to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten"
God is sooo soooooo GOOOOOD.
Come taste and see.
"they who wait for the Lord shall RENEW their strength"
"God of all grace... will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."
"Dear Heavenly Father,
RESTORE me,
RE-sensitize me,
REVIVE my LOVE for You.
Forgive me for straying from Your LOVE,
For not knowing how to LOVE,
For thinking I knew how to LOVE,
When I really only know how to love MYSELF. X_X
Let my Spiritual Taste Buds TASTE of You,
May I personally experience how GOOD You really are,
May I be hooked on on You,
May I always CRAVE You,
May I only DESIRE You,
Now and forever,
In Jesus name, Amen."
"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?"
If you want a change in your life,
But don't know where to start,
Pray this for the next 40 days DAILY.
"God, come change my life.
Make me DESPERATE for You.
In Jesus name Amen."
Take these 2 simple steps.
STEP 1) Take a screenshot of this prayer and save it in your phone. Mark it as a "Favorite" so it's easy to pull up.
STEP 2) Set a DAILY alarm on REPEAT in your phone. Ask Holy Spirit "What time should I set the alarm for?" Close your eyes and be quiet until a time comes to mind. Set the REPEAT alarm for that time and enjoy!
Do this for 40 days and see what happens!
EXPECT GOOD things.
God WILL move on this as this is a prayer He's SUPER eager to answer.
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."
Cheers to God RESTORING and RE-sensitizing you Spiritual Taste Buds.
May we crave Him and ONLY Him. Wohooo!! ^_^
