Nancy Lee-Demoss says everyone who has a relationship with Jesus is tempted to drift away from him.

I face every day of my life the danger of neglecting intimacy with Christ.

And here's the thing about intimacy with Christ. It doesn't just happen. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Monday, June 16th, 2014.

How do you keep your relationship with Christ from becoming dry and predictable?

You'll get insight on that from Nancy as she begins a series called Potential Pitfalls of Ministry.

She delivered this message at a Revive Our Hearts Conference for Women's Ministry Leaders.

Even if you don't think of yourself as a

leader, I think you'll get a lot out of today's message. You have a lot of influence, whether you're

officially called a leader or not. You also don't know what kind of leadership role you may be given

in the future, and all of us need to be cultivating intimacy with Christ.

Here's Nancy.

Lord, I thank you for grace and for your grace to me and for this calling.

But I'm also so mindful, even as I've been working on this message for today,

that some of these pitfalls, a lot of my bin-in,

and some of them today I am perilously close to the edge.

So I pray that you'd speak to me

and that you'd speak through me to these women,

that it would be you speaking,

and that you would just do business with our hearts and rescue us where needed, that we might be faithful to you over the long haul.

And the words of my mouth, and even more importantly, the meditations of my heart be acceptable

in your sight. Lord, I just want to speak for an audience of my heart, be acceptable in your sight.

Lord, I just want to speak for an audience of one here, ultimately.
