THE UNPROFITABLE PROFIT: GAINS THAT BANKRUPT THE SOUL PART 12: FINAL LAP: THE PROFITABLE LIFE — WHEN THE SOUL IS PRESERVED AND REWARDED
Luke 24:32
“They asked each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’”
In our last session, we went through the Divine Ultrasound, where God revealed what we are truly carrying inside—purpose or poison, promise or pride. We learned that what we nurture within will eventually be birthed in our actions.
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) measures the heart’s electrical activity. It tells whether your heart is beating too fast, too slow, or not at all. In spiritual terms, an ECG measures the passion, urgency, and fire in your walk with God.
You can look alive on the outside yet be spiritually flatlining. Or, you can be so overactive that your heart beats from pressure—not purpose.
🔍 Reflection
When Jesus spoke to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, they later admitted:
“Our hearts were burning…”
That’s the goal—a burning heart, not a burdened one. But today, many believers are:
Flatlining – no pulse in prayer, worship, or hunger for God
Overactive – busy in ministry, but disconnected from God’s presence
Misfiring – acting from hype, not conviction
Cooling – passion is fading, love is routine
God wants to check your spiritual heartbeat and reignite your flame.
📌 Call to Action
Let the Holy Spirit run a spiritual ECG:
✅ Ask Him if your heart still burns for His Word, presence, and purpose
✅ Reignite your devotion through time in worship and Scripture
✅ Address any spiritual burnout, exhaustion, or numbness
🗣️ Let’s Talk
What was the last moment your heart truly burned with God’s presence?
Are you going through motions or moving from conviction?
What is one passion that needs to be rekindled in you today?
🙏🏽 Prayer
Lord, test my spiritual pulse. If I’ve flatlined, shock me back to life. If I’m misfiring, align my beat with Yours. Let my heart burn again with hunger for You, and restore my passion, joy, and purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
