Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing

things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

0:17.7

You know, we all want God to do great things in our life. I think the cry of our heart is, God,

0:23.5

do something in me and through me. But you know what's interesting about God's promises?

0:29.6

Is they always come with a condition? Usually we have to do something and then God will do something.

0:38.0

It comes with a condition, a stipulation. You know, I find it very interesting because if God

0:44.8

can get us to move, then He can move. It's almost as if His condition prepares our heart. It

1:57.2

God's promises. We want God's promises. But what are we delighting in? What are we pursuing?

2:04.2

What are we giving our time to? You see, the scripture says that when we delight in the Lord,

2:11.1

which means when we find joy and happiness and pleasure in God, it will shape those desires

2:19.7

for God. You see, sometimes we have the wrong desires and we're struggling trying to make those

2:26.4

things happen. I think sometimes we get it backwards. We have a desire and we forget to find out

2:33.9

what we delight in. We forget what gives us fulfillment. We forget to pursue those things that

2:40.3

give us joy, peace and strength and allow those things to shape us, our delight, shapes, our desires.
