The Connection Between Faith and Desire

The Connection Between Faith and Desire
I believe the strength of our desires (passion) will greatly
affect the level of our faith.
The strength of our faith will carry us into the promised land of God.
Sometimes in the past I have asked the Lord for greater faith
in order to enter into the promised land.
Now I see that I should ask Him to increase the desire of my heart first,
and that will open the door for stronger faith to come into my heart.
We can examine the strength of our desires and passion in our own hearts.
Pick a desire and see on a scale of one to ten what the strength of your desire is.
As our desires grow stronger, more faith will be deposited into our hearts.
How strong is your desire to be free?
To spread God’s love?
To love God in a romantic way?
To trust Him in all things?
To love others to the degree of laying your life down for them?
To be financially stable?
To have a godly marriage?
To fulfill your calling?
To enter into God’s promises for your life?
To see the right president in office?
To feed the poor and comfort the brokenhearted?
Holy Spirit, we give You full permission
to give us any desire You want our hearts to carry.
We want to have extreme passion for what You desire.
Make our hearts pregnant with Your desires.
May the Holy Spirit of God give us stronger desires and passion
for God’s plan for our lives and the faith to walk them out.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
