New Desires
1 Kings 8:58
May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.
Solomon prayed that God would give them the desire to do God's will. It's a truth that people often miss. Desire, like faith comes from God. The unbelieving sinner sees a great divide between himself and believers because he doesn't have the same desires. The church often compounds the issue by neglecting to preach the truth of God's grace that brings change to the heart and even transforms our desires. The world sees good people and bad people, while the church should be proclaiming the truth that there are no good people (Psalm 14:3).....only bad people that receive God's amazing grace! Receive this incredible revelation into your life today: God can change your desires. He can build your faith. He can, and He will. If you will ask Him. His desire is to change yours.

Jesus change my desires today, not for what I want but that you want. thank you Lord and please keep my hands out of the way and my heart and my mind just you do it
ReplyDeleteBut to want to do what God desires, the problem is how to tell when we do his desires, our walk has to be able to discern whether what we do is pleasing to God or pleasing to man, what a prayer to be able to tell the difference and not wonder sometimes, we think of desires as good naturally, but sometimes Gods desires that we go thru somethings we may not like to be wrought into something better, we just maake the clay available and let God be the potter
ReplyDeleteI am so greatful for this truth. It's the most beautiful promise of God. For me to have such a drastic change was and still is the most beautiful gift! I hated myself so much. I hated life and wanted to die if that's all I was going to ever have. I couldn't stop doing the thing that I had grown to hate. I was out of control without any hope. God changed all of that and still does everyday! Eight years ago this month I gave God my heart and He made a new one out of it! God's covenant promise fullfilled in me! I am very greatful!
