The Crisis: Following the lusts and passions of the flesh results in a shameful life trapped behind the prison bars of sin, with a great longing to be free and never fulfulling the call of God on your life.

sacrafice, altar, passion, fire

Title:
Misdirected Passions - Aflame with all the wrong things
Burning with Passion - What drives you?
Passion - What is burning inside of you?
Passion - What consumes you?
The flame of passion - set apart or consumed
Passion - An all consuming flame


The Solution:


  • Old Man vs. New Man
    Awareness - Knowledge is Power (I understand therefore I can overcome)
  • Renewed Passions & Desires by the Holy Spirit
  • Willpower (it is a constant fight, I beat my body daily)Mindpower
