DAY 5: WALK BY THE SPIRIT
I felt the need to say something similar to this when writing to you in the “Keeping the First Things First” devotional… And that is, I don’t want you to hear the words of “Walk With Jesus” and get caught up in a performance driven mindset. I don’t want you to hear this song and think it’s your new “self-help” anthem.
This is a lifestyle… And this lifestyle is a life in the Spirit. If there’s one thing that will burn you out and get you to stop walking, it will be the performance mindset. It’ll be the idea that “you’ve gotta try harder and we’re all counting on you not to mess up”. Religion constantly paints the picture that God has all these rules for you to keep and if you mess up and break one of the rules, then He’s displeased with you and that’s it. The good news, however, is that Jesus took the penalty of sin on your behalf and has provided the atonement needed for sin. Now, sin is to no longer have dominion over you because of a new life in the Spirit (Romans 6:14). Believer, let me tell you, God is actually the one who is responsible for getting the good out of you. He is the one who has made the promise to never leave you, never forsake you (Hebrews 13:5), to never give up on you in your process.

Consumed By Fire is...
No strangers to the road life, up-and coming Contemporary Christian Music band, Consumed By Fire, are living out the name of their band in a brand-new way. Comprised of Caleb Ward (lead vocals), Jordan Ward (harmonies/percussion), Josh Ward (guitar/harmonies), the three brothers from Oklahoma are living out God’s calling for their lives, to share God’s grace far and wide through music.
“If it wasn’t this form of ministry, if it wasn’t music, it would just be something else. Ministry is what we were born to do,” Caleb says. The band’s sound, heavily influenced by the music they grew up on, is thanks in part to their father’s eclectic taste. Filled with honest truths and the band’s honed musicality, “First Things First,” the band’s current radio single, is evidence of Consumed By Fire’s family bond and the unconditional love of both their earthly and heavenly fathers.
As their single climbs up the radio charts, the band is already receiving media attention with spotlights from KLove and Air1 Radio, praising the band for their“deft lyricism and tight harmonies.” With new music on the horizon as well as upcoming tour dates, the band is ready for a new, exciting year of music.
