Believing and Receiving the Desires of Your heart

“ Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass” Proverbs 37: 4-5.

God does not change and neither does He give us things in a silver platter. Instead God changes us and our perspective in order for us to see things the way they truly are. Once we are changed we perceive things differently and are then able to change the situation.

Indeed Christ taught that “whatever things you shall ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” Mathew 21:22. He taught this message after He commanded a fig tree to die due to its lack of fruit and “immediately the fig tree withered away” (Mathew 21: 18). His disciples marveled that this could happen just by Christ speaking on the tree. Christ assured them that all it takes is faith without doubt of what one believes for the thing to come to Pass.

If God has given you a vision which looks impossible because of your current situation or because of the many obstacles facing you, remember the story of the fig tree and the words of Christ that “if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain , ’Be thou removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done” Mathew 21: 21.

The mountain maybe a financial handicap, a sickness, age, but whatever the mountain is, what you believe and have faith for, you will attract.  How then can we ensure we get the desire of our heart?

Ways to actualize your desire

1) Formulate a goal, one that is sharp, clearly defined and specific and not a fuzzy vague goal. Remember however that "a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps" Proverbs 16: 9.

2) Pray about the goal to ensure that you are in step with the Lord. Christ taught that we ought to pray without ceasing until we recieve what it is we want based on our faith, Luke 18: 1
