CHASE YOUR DESIRES

Proverbs 2:3-5 NKJV "Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God."

The problem many of us have is that we keep on "waiting on the Lord" when we should be chasing what we want. Don't misunderstand me; don't misinterpret waiting on God for inaction; to receive you've got to ask; to find you've got to seek; and for the door to be opened you've got to knock.

To succeed as a believer and have whatever you want, you've got to learn to be a chaser. Stop waiting for manna to fall from heaven into your bedroom, stop thinking that God will do things for you without you having to pray for them to be done! Knock the door so hard, bang it, kick it if you have to! In other words, pray earnestly about what you want until they are done.

Isaiah 62:6-7 says "I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth."

To do: Make a list of your desires, and then make each one of them specific prayer points. Determine not to give God rest until everyone of your prayers has been answered.
