I don’t care anymore

 

 

Empathy depletion

Ego depletion

Mental fortitude depletion

Numerous tests have proven that our minds have a gas tank and we can quickly drain our energy when using to much of one area and not learning how to fill up our tanks on a regular basis.

This hits me between the eyes after a conversation I had with a man in our church. He came due to one of our permit to carry classes… he had recently given his heart to Christ, was delivered from alcohol and porn addiction.. but admitted that there still seemed to be more he was missing. So he decided to just quit filling his mind with anything other than scripture. He has trouble reading so he just started pumping the audio bible into his brain. He admitted he didn’t even know where to start so he asked his wife… where do I listen in the bible to hear about just Jesus. She turned him on to the gospels and he has never looked back. The transformation is none other than remarkable. Now after just 2 months of nothing but scripture in his earbuds he hears from God about others, he hears God speak to him about his life, he hears God tell him messages he is to give to the church and other communities.. he shared how he has had some incredible experiences where he was just engulfed in Gods love… and he is never turning back. 

So I was convicted… I need to start filling up my tank more on scripture. Oh I read and pray daily, and I do it about an hour to 2 hours a day… but for some reason I thought it was a good challenge to take on… 

We all wrestle with what it takes to be a person of God, to live victoriously and passionately for God… Maybe we just don’t put enough of Gods word into our minds. 

He tells us all through out scripture… 

His word is 

Our lamp

Our bread

Our security 

It blesses us

It protects us

It sanctifies us

It rules forever

It reveals us

It keeps us from sin

It gives us wisdom

It is our weapon

Oh yea and it builds faith into our daily walk

If there was a vitamin that did all this I can’t think of one person who would not be taking it daily, maybe even twice daily. 

So quit looking for the secret and get back to basics… start consuming Gods word at a greater amount and watch what happens.
