Passion begins with hunger, pursuit and exploration. God’s people are pursuing him every day, moment by moment, all over the world, because of a revelation. The revelation  is “He who has no beginning and no ending wants to keep company with me”. Wow! That’s motivating isn’t it?

Do you have a passion for God?  Passion is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something. (God) The term is also often applied to a lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity.  It is marked by love or  a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm, compelling emotion or in some cases suffering. Passion is a positive affinity or love, towards a subject idea, person or object. When you are passionate you display strong emotion or strong interest. Jesus is a flawless example of one who displays Passion.  Did you see the movie “The Passion of the Christ”?  If you read Mt. the 28th chapter you will find that Jesus constantly displayed Passion from the time that he was bound and taken to Pilate until he gave up the ghost, and even throughout his entire life.  Unlike the attributes of Jesus, The antonym of Passion is indifference.  Our passionate God “so” loved the world that he gave his only begotten son Jesus Christ. (Jn. 3:16).  He didn’t just love, he “so” loved and still  loves.

An individual’s Passion is revealed by his or her actions. Passion cannot exist without the factor of intensity and intimacy. Some people are obviously passionate about sports, cars or houses, however  a person’s Passion should be fueled by the Holy Spirit and should lead back to Jesus Christ and Father God. Passion externally acts by influencing the will and makes us proceed to action. Let Jesus Christ be the source of your Passion.

Passion will either shape or reshape one’s life. I grew up during the time when it was really popular to be passive. In fact the slang “it” phrase was “cool out”, There is a generation alive that is very different from that. Their chemistry has changed and they are called the “yada” generation. This new generation experiences the love of God.  They go beyond talk and study.  They “yada” God because they have a revelation of the Love of God and how He freely shed his love abroad (Ro. 5:5) Therefore they enthusiastically reciprocate the love they receive from our heavenly father through Jesus Christ. They are not ashamed of him and they ardently love him.

This new generation of passionate, ardent lovers are called “God Lovers”.

“The word ‘Passion’ is capitalized by the author for special emphasis.”

God lovers all over the world are being awakened to a hunger which leads them on a pursuit and exploration which culminates in a spiritual romance, an ardent love. Ardent love is enthusiastic love. It displays a very intense love. Ardent love can be marked by these three characteristics:

1. Fervid – intense emotion
2. Fervent – extremely passionate
3. Fiery – very intense, flaming intensity

Ardent love is torrid (hot, vigorously energetic). Yes, God lovers are in love with their “Bridegroom King”, Jesus. Holy Spirit will teach us how to receive God’s passionate love and respond to the romance. He will teach and train this generation. Ro. 5:5 … because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost….We will be taught by the Holy Spirit how to love our Father and our Bridegroom King. God lovers all over the world are entering into an ecstatic love. They are learning how to recognize God’s love and are open to feel God’s love. This generation is not satisfied with a “Popsicle” Christianity, they are pursuing a true relationship filled with flaming intensity where they are fused to love.
