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, whatever the mountain is, what you believe and have faith for, you will attract. Having said that, how can we then get the desire of our heart?

Ways to actualize your desire

1) Establish your desire and then formulate a goal, one that is sharp, clearly defined and specific and not a fuzzy vague goal. Remember however that " To do righteouness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" Proves 21:3.

2) Pray about the goal to ensure that you are in step with the Lord for "a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps" Proverbs 16: 9. Continue praying until the thing come to pass in line with what Christ taught concerning praying without ceasing,Luke 18:1-8.

3) Put the goal into your conscious mind, holding the image there tenaciously until it sinks into the unconscious. Remember it takes faith to get what you want and "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1

4) Give it all you have got of thought, effort, imagination and innovation and do not forget that God works in us and we work it out, Philippians 2: 13

Meditation Prayers to Remove Blocks in our Lives that Hinders Growth and Success

Life is a journey and that journey starts from conception. That little seed has potential of growing into something big. Considering that a human being is both physical and spiritual then as we grow physically we also ought to grow spiritually.

We all have a purpose to fulfill in this world in the days given to us. Moses recognizing this prayed, “teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” Psalms 90:12. When Moses died and Joshua succeeded him in leadership, God approached Joshua and instructed him on what to do if he was to find success in his calling.

God asked him to meditate on His word “day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” Joshua 1:8. Meditating on the word helps us understand what is right and what is wrong in God sight. But with understanding comes the responsibility of doing that which the word calls right.

The prayers addressed here are aimed at dealing with certain elements in our lives which scripture shows are contrary to God’s will for our lives. If we do not deal with these elements we will find ourselves going round and round in circles without progress and wonder why.

Everything we do must always start with our relationship with God and this is why it is important to meditate on His word. The greatest commandment is to love God first with all our being and the second is to love others as we love ourselves, (Mathew 22: 37-39).

1) Removing blame: When we blame others for the happenings of our lives, it is because we feel betrayed and have allowed anger to take captive of us. We must remind ourselves that scripture teaches that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose, (Romans 8:28). We therefore need to forgive according to God’s command and Let Him be the arbiter of the situation. If you find yourself in a blaming frame of mind, ask God to help you forgive and remove the blame in your heart and restore the love that He has called us to operate on.

2) Removing Depression: Depression is caused by many reasons and is manifested in the loss of joy. Scripture teaches that the joy of the Lord is our strength. When we lose this joy it shows that there is a disconnect with God and we need to act to reconnect. The Psalmist writes “my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in hope” Psalm 16: 9. Recognize that true joy is far deeper than happiness. We can feel joy in spite of our deepest troubles because we have learnt to be content in whatever state we are in. Instead of allowing yourself to fall into depression, pray that God will show you who to reach out to and express the love of God in you because it is in giving that we recieve.
