by | Radical Leadership

What is Passion?

• An intense urgency to accomplish your God given calling.

• Passion gives us desire—Desire + Determination = Destiny.

• Passion is the main difference in success and failure. (Colossians 3:23, NKJV)

• Passion is the #1 thing people in your class, at church, at work, and home are looking for.

• Passion is the difference between good and great.

• One person with passion is greater than 99 who only have an interest.

• Jesus was our greatest example of passion—Passion is Power.

 

Where does Passion come from?

• Christ gives us a new purpose, passion, and plan. (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)

• God puts the passion in our heart. (Nehemiah 2:12, NKJV; Jeremiah 20:9, NKJV; Psalm 4:7, NKJV; Isaiah 42:1, NKJV; Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26-27, NKJV)

 

What Passion can do for you. (1 Samuel 16:7, NKJV; NLT)

• Passion determines our fight.

• Passion directs our focus.

• Passion diminishes our fears.

• Passion directs our future.

• God is looking for people with a passion to love and serve Him. (Psalms 53:2, NKJV, AMP; 2 Chronicles 16:9b, NKJV)

 

How to have a Godly Passion

• You have to be in the Word and under the Word. (Jeremiah 20:9, NKJV)

• You have to believe the Word. (Hebrews 11:6, NKJV)

 

6 Reasons why we don’t have passion.

• We take God and His greatness for granted—we allow the supernatural to become natural to us.

• We allow others to drain us.

• We focus on what’s wrong instead of what’s right.

• We lose our vision.

• We allow other things to rob our time.

• We become passionate about the wrong things.
