My devotion for today was Revelation 3 where the Bible says “The lukewarm will be spit out of my mouth.” God wants us to be “Hot, or cold.” Sin keeps us cold or lukewarm at best.
People want to hear about Christianity from a person who is excited about it, and who is filled with love.
To change from being lukewarm to being excited about Christ:
#1 Pray. Prayer should be the highlight of our day. Keep trying until it becomes the best part of your day.
#2 If you don’t know how to pray, just praise the Lord for 10 minutes, then pray the Lord’s prayer.
#3 Practically search out ways to love others.
#4 Put key scripture in your phone “Blessed are those who meditate on His law day and night.”
#5 Fight anxiety, and replace it with praise.
#6 Believe that trials are training you to someday do something great for God.
#7 Make notes so that you can think about the new habit that you are working on that will help your fight your main habit.
#8 Be excited about working on your new habits. They (plus Jesus) will change your life.
#9 Pray about your new habits often. Pray about what you want to become.
Consider praying:
“Father, teach me how to fight lukewarmness, show me how to be on fire.”
