Our desire for God will overrule any other desire. Our desire for God will propel us where we need to be in God. Because of our desire for God, we long for God, to please Him, to live for Him. Our desire for God makes it easy for us to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and with all our strength; also to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31). Our desire for God will cause us to push! We will push pass pain, death, sickness, diseases,…

Wait on God! Let's not get in a hurry to do anything because the Bible lets us know in Philippians 4:6:



"In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God".



We cannot do…

God do not wait until we go through something to work it out, He works it out before we go through it. He knows what is going to happen in our lives before it happens; He made us.

We must not be so quick to say, “The devil is holding up my stuff;” no, God is preparing you to receive. The devil does not have…
