50 Ways to Get Through Easter... Heart & High Spirits!

“It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14: 22) “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these.” (John 14: 12)

Easter Day #29 & #30: Heart & High Spirits!

There are two things that will always keep you going in life. Movements of the HEART and the confidence that comes with good ol’ positive HIGH SPIRITS.

It has been said by greater “church types” than me, that in order to know Jesus, your HEART must be moved by the things that move the HEART of Christ! When Christ saw the poor, and took pity on them, or when He saw the large crowds in need of healing, and was moved to act... These are the things that must move our HEARTS on a daily basis. That movement is the beginning of God’s work happening through our hands and feet.

A more practical and realistic outlook comes from the “trenches” of the Acts of the Apostles, when they discover that it takes many hardships to do the work of the Lord. This has to be where the HIGH SPIRIT kicks in. A positive, “never give up” attitude is at the core of every person set out to live their life and live it to the fullest. Whether its the Apostle Paul’s idea of keeping an “eye on the prize”, or today’s modern TV Gurus preaching on your late night flat screen; they all try to focus on the need to stay condifent, and live with HIGH SPIRIT, becuse it is agreed across every Christian denomination, and in all of the world’s religions... Faith is a journey, and a tough one at that. Some call it Karma, others call it Chi, and I call it the power of the Holy Spirit! But all of it is based on knowing the simple concept of dicovering one’s purpose, and staying focused on its overall reward.

To make the most of your faith, let’s try to live with a HEART that is moved by the things that move the HEART of Jesus! To have the greatest impact in the world, let’s try to work through the hardships, always keeping that HIGH SPIRIT, and your eyes on the prize of the “promised land”!
