Revelation 2:1-4
"The drift"
The motions remain, but the passion is gone.
When did you last pray with hunger and thirst, and not just habit?
There's never anything intentional about the drift.
It happens slowly, gradually over time.
The enemy loves the drift, because it never sets off an alarm in our lives.
Hebrews 2:1
What is the one compromise that you have already made peace with in your life?
People rarely walk away from Jesus on their own ... They drift.
All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be. - letter 10
We need to learn how to recognize the voice of God. This is how we build discernment in our lives.
