Don't get too familiar with the Word of God where you don't feel any excitement in your spirit when you hear the Word. Don't let the Word become redundant to you. Jesus said in John 6:63 NKJV ,..."It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."
You may be going to church everyday, involved in all the church activities(which is good), but always look forward to when the message is preached. Get turned on by the Word of God! If you are born again then you are born of the Word. 1 Peter 1:23 KJV,..."Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
If you find you are loosing interest in God's Word, then you need to reactivate the Holy Spirit in you. Start Speaking In Tongues. Get yourself charged up, plug in to the Holy Ghost, it won't be long, you'll start bubbling over again with the joy of the Spirit.
In addition, make sure you are walking in love, bitterness has a way of robbing you of your joy. Forgive who you have to forgive (including yourself and keep it moving).
Remember the story of Elizabeth (John the Baptist's mom) and Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus...well, Mary went to visit Elizabeth, both were pregnant, Mary was carrying the Living Word (Jesus) in her womb. Elizabeth saw her and said, "For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy." Luke 1:44 KJV.
ARE YOU LEAPING WITH JOY WHEN THE YOU HEAR THE WORD?
