A Greater Desire


What is your desire?


To want or to wish for something strongly is what it means to desire. What do you desire ? What do you want ? What has been on your mind lately ? In the book of Mathew chapter 6 verse 21 Jesus said “for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” He taught us that what we treasured is connected to our heart, our mind, our thoughts and our ambitions. We find out that we strive for what we desire. We work for what we want. When we set out for something we truly desire we will not allow anyone or anything to get in the way.


Today I want to ask do you have a desire for God ? Or do you desire the idea of wanting God? The thought or confession of wanting more of God we hear and say a lot but our life many times doesn’t reflect that statement. Many times in my walk I’ve stated I wanted God but too many times I did nothing to get closer to him. Did I truly really want more of him if I let my life and everything else get in the way? Because I remember really wanting something in this life and doing whatever I had to get it in my hands. Have you ever desired something in this life that you can say you didn’t allow anyone to get in the way & you got it ? What was that like ? The process of going after it ? The time spent and sacrificed to have it in your hands ?


Measure the desire


I questioned myself this morning , how much do I truly desire the one true living God? The one that has done so much for me. How much do I desire him right now ? Not yesterday or tomorrow but right now in this moment how much of God do I want ? Or is it just an idea or thought that I like to express and say to friends and myself to make my Christian faith walk feel better? We have all been there telling ourselves, I want God but I’m busy. I truly need him in my life but my stomach is calling for food. Moments with God transform my life but the new movie that came out sounds better right now and I’ll get to God later ? I don’t know about you but all this has been valid in my life in a season or time where walking with God and going after more of God is great but for some reason the natural desire of this world has gotten a tighter grip on my heart then the God that has given me a new one.

Act on the Evaluation



Take a moment today to analyze and stop this complacent spirit of ours to hinder the great things in Christ that God has laid up for us. Jesus said store your treasure in heaven . The Apostle Paul taught us to keep our minds on the things above and not beneath. There’s a heavenly reality God wants to release over our life but we must let go of the hunger of our belly’s and receive the hunger our spirits for God is giving us. Let’s evaluate and act on this reality! We must go after him! The Bible teaches us that if we seek him , we will find him! If we knock the door would be open! His throne is full of grace and he is so alive that he hears everything that proceeds out of your heart! Speak to the Father today! Share your heart with him! As he wants to share his heart with you!


One more question, if you can have as much of God as you want right now how much would you like ? How much would you receive ? Go! Go get him! Get as much as you desire! Pursue the one that Pursued you! Love the one that has loved you no matter the mistake.


Prayer :


Father I have not desired you the way you desire me. I come before your throne of Grace and say Lord fill me! Fill me with your spirit! Give me a new heart , a new desire. Transform my mind today! Remove the desires of this world and give me the desires of your heart! You love me! You chose me. Thank you for this moment where my mind is becoming like your mind. Amen

(Continue to pray as the spirit leads)
