Igniting Your Spiritual Passion by Pastor Nelson Wilt

Key Scripture
 
 Rom 12:11z. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Fulfilling your purpose will require passion (zeal, fervency, or enthusiasm). 'Purpose' has to do with our head – thinking right about why we're here and understanding our calling. 'Passion' has to do with our heart – the internal fire that motivates us and energizes us to fulfil our purpose and do God's will. God is the source of spiritual passion. The Holy Spirit comes to ignite us with holy fire.

In the world we live in, natural passion is often a key to success and impact. Knowing information is valuable, but possessing the fire is invaluable. Nothing major in history was ever accomplished without zeal. It is the deciding difference between successful and unsuccessful people in every field of endeavor. The fire on the inside affects everything on the outside. 

William Ward says: “Enthusiasm and persistence can make an average person superior; indifference and lethargy can make a superior person average.”
