Prayer & Desire.

Psalm 37:4

God promises to satisfy the hunger of His people. Matthew 5:6
The hunger and thirst referred to in Matthew 5:6 is is your desire.

Prayer is very important to the believer.
Our desire is also very important.
What you desire is what you will aspire for.
What you desire is what you will pray about.
What you desire is what you want.
What you desire is what God will give to you, if you delight in Him.

God knows we fall emotionally sick when we don't receive our desire. Proverbs 13:12
Your desire is your hunger.
Your desire is what you will be passionate about before God and man.
Your desire is what will keep you motivated when others stop.

One of the major reasons we don't achieve the things we want is because we loose motivation.
We loose motivation to achieve what we want because we give up on our desire.

The Bible doesn't show us that Nehemiah heard a voice from God to go and build the walls of Jerusalem, but he had a strong desire to do so. As he acted on his inner desire he entered his God given purpose.
God puts desires inside people.

You know your desire is of God if it is good and benefits other people and yourself.
God answers the prayers we pray about the desires He put inside us.

There are desires that are of the flesh and when we give in to that type of hunger it makes us sin against God. 1 Corinthians 7:2
The way to overcome negative desires is to yield to the Spirit of God. Galatians 5:16
Desire (good desire) goes along with prayer.
The way to achieve the desires God has put in our heart is to delight in God and to pray about the desires. James 4:2

Prayer Points:

1) Pray about the good desires God has put inside you, ask God to give them to you. Psalm 37:4
2) Ask God to give you the motivation to achieve your desires.Job 32:8
3) Bring me out of every distress. Psalm 120:1
4) Every delay to my hope and desire, remove them O'Lord. Proverbs 13:12
5) Turn my captivity around. Psalm 126:1
6) Restore my life. Joel 2:25
7) Give me power to get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18
8) Let my path shine brighter and brighter. Proverbs 4:18

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
