GOD DOES NOT GIVE WHAT YOU DESIRE, BUT WHAT HE DESIRES!

Scores of Christians falsely believe that God gives them all the desires of their hearts. They base this on the Old Testament passage in Psalms where it says, “Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires.” Psalm 37:4 NLT

But to shed more light on the above verse, the Bible says in the New Testament: “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.” Philippians 2:13 NLT

In other words, it is God who is working in you to give you the desire that is “His Desire” and the power to do what He wants. So, it is never about what you want, but what He predestined for you to accomplish for His glory’s sake! His desire becomes your desire, and that’s why you will always have the power - meaning His favor and blessing - to do whatever He desires for your life!

We can now also understand when David writes to, “Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust Him, and He will help you.” Psalm 37:5 NLT. This means, our desire must align with God’s desire, not the other way around!

That is why it also says, “And we are confident that He hears us whenever we ask for anything that PLEASES HIM! And since we know He hears us when we make our requests, we also know that He will give us what we ask for.” 1. John 5:14-15 NLT

To sum it up:

God only does and gives us what He desires for us, only that what pleases Him! 

Even Jesus Christ, our great example, prayed before He was about to be crucified, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from Me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Matthew 26:39 NLT. He did what the Father wanted!

ITS HAPPENING JUST AS THE BIBLE PREDICTED! By Edwin Christiaan

The Bible speaks about the dangers of the last days, where, among other things, vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth! (See 2. Timothy 3:6-7)

How amazingly true this is! Over the years, we have seen many such women go from one prophetic meeting to another, without their lives changing for the good and them becoming godly!

Instead of following Biblical truth, these women no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They are being tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching, and they are easily influenced when people try to trick them with lies so clever, they sound like the truth!

These women follow their own desires, and they are only looking for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They reject the truth, and chase after myths!

Our modern-day myth include prophetic teachings, revelations about how to get into your promised land, when and how you will get your “Boaz” husband, big money blessings coming your way, promises of getting to live in big mansions, and how you will be attaining a prominent leadership position! (See 2. Timothy 4:3-4, Ephesians 4:14)
