GOD’S DESIRE for us

Do you know God’s desires for you ? Have you ever ,ask Him,or try to find them out?
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.{Jeremiah 29:11}.

LISTEN
It is Gods desire for us to prosper and be in good health ,as our souls  prosper (3 John 2). His desire is not for his children to perish but for all to come to repentance  (2 peter 3:9). The desires of God come from his heart ,that is full of love for us. In John 3:16-17 he tells us that God loves us so much that he sent His only begotten son (Jesus Christ) to die for our sins and whoever believeth in Jesus will not perish but instead have everlasting life. Jesus did not come to condemn any of us, he came to save us.

The sovereign will of God is to give us the desires of our hearts but for that to happen we must delight ourselves in Him. In Psalms 37:4 and Numbers 14:8 David says that(NIV); If the Lord is pleased with us He will lead us into the land that flows with milk and honey and will give it us. At that time he was referring to the children of Israel but today He is referring to the believer.

God’s desires are fulfilled only through His sovereign will which are stated in the ten commandments (Exodus 20) but there are other ways to fulfill his desires. Love Him with all your heart (Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37). Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and He will add everything else unto us (Matthew 6;33). Present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto Him which is a reasonable service (Romans 12:1). These are a few of the things we must do for God so he can give us the desires of our hearts. Are you an obeyer or a doer?

My friends God does not desire that any should perish but is it not clear that many will not be saved if you do not follow what you must (Revelation 21:8) says,
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Are you one of those who will not be saved? Are you complying to His wishes for us? If you know that you are not and you need a fresh start go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions. All glory, praise, honor and thanks go to God the father almighty. thank you lord for using me to get your message out.

DISAPPOINTED WITH LIFE

2 Peter 1:2-4
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
DON’T blame Jesus,nor God, He tells us what to do,in the BIBLE.Our disappointments, failures, disillusionment with life and confusion with religion and how to serve and please God is not Jesus’ fault. Because He has been misrepresented, betrayed, denied and neglected, but He sits majestically as our King of kings by the right hand of God, our heavenly Father, still advocating and interceding for us.

So come, as He said in Matthew 11:28, all those who are heavy laden with life’s problems, trials and tribulations so that He can give you rest.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Try Him. He will never leave or forsake you. Once He is in your life, you just have to obey Him and follow His instructions on Godly living so that you may be prosperous and healthy as 3 John 2 suggests.

3 John 2 says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
However,in Philippians 4:6-8
It says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. To stand on these promises,you must accept Jesus.
Go to the salvation page above, follow the steps and say the prayer (or say your own personal prayer of receiving Jesus and confessing your belief in Him) if you have not received Jesus into you heart and life.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND

If you don’t seek God, you will not find him, nor get the desires of your heart. If you don’t ask Him for anything you will not get anything good and perfect. Because,all His gifts are good and perfect and there is no sorrow attached to them.

If you don’t go and knock on His door or if you don’t open the door when He is knocking then you will never experience the joys that salvation brings; joys like peace, happiness, mercy, grace, favor, prosperity, good health, everlasting life, hope, confidence, faith, trust and a whole lot more. He gives us all these promises in His word. Which is a promise, a covenant and a contract with those who believe and accept it, abide and obey in Him.

Here are a few scriptures to start with:
Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is He who giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers.

Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and He will add everything unto you.

Luke 12:31 Fear not little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

3 John 2 Beloved I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.

Matthew 7:7-8 Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone who asks receives and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.

Isaiah 48:17-18
Thus saith the Lord , thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

John 16:23b-24
…your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing, verily, verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name He will give it to you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name; ask and ye shall receive that your joy may be full.
And finally,the truth is ,if you don’t accept Jesus,and turn from your evil path,then you will not have eternal life,so get started now,by going to the top of this blog,then click unto the salvation page and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you for the rest of your life.

PROSPERITY

It’s God’s desire for His children to prosper, most people love to hear about prosperity, and with most preachers that’s all they preach about. Prosperity means you are doing well or flourishing. But doing well or flourishing how? Godly prosperity means you flourish spiritually, physically, mentally, and in every way possible. The Bible says,”Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospered “(3 John 2).

God’s main concern is for our soul,”For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul”? ( Matthew 16:26). When, you seek prosperity, with no concern for your soul you are going to perish (James 5:1-6). The Bible says,”seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and He will add the rest”( Matthew 6:33); God told Joshua,”This book of the law ( The Bible) shall not depart from thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written there in; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou have good success”( Joshua 1:8).

Children of God, stand firm and declare that, the God of heaven will prosper us, therefore we, His servants will arise and build (Nehemiah 2:20); we must believe, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us ( Philippians 4:13). Godly prosperity is knowing, that because you are righteous and seek God first, that without a shadow of doubt, He will supply your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20b). However, children of God, we must remember that, Godliness with contentment is great gain; for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out….for the love of money is the root of all evil, which, while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows (1 Timothy 6: 6-10).

But thou, O children of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness; Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, unto which thou art also called and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses( 1 Timothy 6:11-12). Do you desire the things of God more than earthly possession and prosperity? Then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, it will be worth it, because if you give God your all and best, trust me He will do the same for you.

All glory ,praise, honor, and thanks go to God, the Father of our Lord, and savior Jesus Christ, for using me to deliver His message to His children, may the God of peace, grace and mercy, bless and keep you now and forever in Jesus Name, amen.
