The desire of your heart......

John 6:44 KJV No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.

 

Ecclesiastes 10:2
King James Version

2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

 

“The greatest gift that God has ever given the world is the truth – divine revelation, divine truth. The truth about Himself, the truth about us, the truth about time and eternity, the truth about life and death, the truth about origins and consummation, the truth about judgment, the truth about salvation, the truth about heaven, the truth about hell. This is the greatest gift that God has ever given. In a world of liars, in a world of lies, in a world where deception abounds because the whole world lies in the lap of the evil one who is the arch deceiver, and who applies his deception through a mass of fallen angels identified as demons, and has held captive the entire human race. In the midst of all of the deception of Satan, demons, and duped human beings; in the midst of the darkness and blackness and bleakness of the ignorant heart of an unregenerate person, God deposits the truth.”
—John MacArthur

 

I don’t have scripture memorized, nor do I fully understand everything that I read in the Bible, which I do read every day, but what I do know is the peace that has come to me since I have given my life to Jesus. The things of this world are not very important to me at all anymore. I do not fear leaving this world, in fact I look forward to the day tha Jesus returns, which I feel is near. But most of all I have seen the Lord bless my immediate family time and time again as we take steps closer to the lord through the church and the scriptures.
I can also see my friends and family look at me as one of those “crazy Bible thumpers” and they think my church is a cult, lol. I only wish that they could feel the peace and joy you can only get from the Lord.

 

" Crazy Bible thumper ".. been there done that! just remember our savior while on earth was a Bible thumper...Real fine company to be in if ya ask me!

 

Wow,! is that one ever prophetic.

 

Proverbs 16:7-9 New King James Version (NKJV)When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice. A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps

 

"Obeying God from the heart will realign our focus." —Alistair Begg

 

It’s sometimes hard to trust Gods plan and his timing, our nature makes us think we need to be strong and make things happen but if we are patient and faithful things usually work out better than we thought they could.

My wife and I spend the last ten Wednesdays in a small group at our church called “freedom group”. Then this weekend was a two day freedom conference. It was really powerful. Two days of worship, prayer, and scripture.
I honestly can’t imagine my life without a relationship with the father. Every aspect of my life is better. My marriage is so much stronger. I quit drinking. My finances have been blessed. My relationship with my children. My outlook on this broken world. I have no fear, stress, or worries about worldly treasures. all the problems of this world can be solved through Jesus.

 

"What does it mean God will give you the desires of your heart?

Some commentators suggest this statement could be interpreted to mean the Lord will place into our hearts those desires which are godly. In other words, when we delight in God, He makes us want what He wants (Romans 12:2; Galatians 5:16–24)."

 

Yes brother. That is exactly what it means. He will give you new desires, which are of him, and towards and for him. If he gave us what "we" desire, what our carnal hearts desire, he would potentially be giving us what we already selfishly want. And we know what the word of God says about the heart of man. https://www.gotquestions.org/what-is-the-heart.html

 

Excellent Ken!

 

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)

Just as in modern languages, ancient Hebrew used the term “heart” to mean the inward motivations that control a person’s words and deeds. According to the prophet Jeremiah, the spiritual heart is so innately wicked and deceptive that one cannot even understand his own heart—but God does!

One urgently needs a new heart, and God promises just that. “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26). “This is the covenant that I will make with them...saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts” (Hebrews 10:16).

The problem, of course, is heart attitude. In the third chapter of Hebrews, this is illustrated in terms of the attitudes of the children of Israel in the wilderness. First, their hearts had become hard hearts through their lack of gratitude, and three times the author warns us to “harden not your hearts” (Hebrews 3:8, 15; 4:7). As a result, they soon acquired erring hearts. “They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways” (Hebrews 3:10). Finally, their hearts were evil hearts, and God would warn us through them. “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12).

An evil heart is defined here, in effect, as an unbelieving heart. A heart that refuses to receive and believe the Word of God is a wicked heart, inevitably generating wicked ways and evil doings. But Christ will create a new heart for all who will believe on Him and confess Him as God and Savior. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness” (Romans 10:9-10). HMM

 

Jeremiah 17:9 ...... who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:10 "I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his doings."

Would you feel the Lord's searching of your heart, 'judgement', and reward according to your fruits and ways, come before or after being saved by His grace from confession? (Romans 10: 9-10)

 

Psalms 21:2 - Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

 

Philippians 1:9-10. I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christs return.

i really like this one!
