The Deeper Life for Distressing Times

This verse shows us how to have strength to move from burned out feelings to fire up feelings. Well how do you do that? Paul says through the Spirit of God. I want us to see three things from this passage-

Paul starts that the only way that you can be fire up in Spirit of the Lord is to see God has promised glorious riches. We need to see the fact that is the kind of God that He is.
The problem is most people never see the Kind of God we serve. A C ...
