Speaker 5: Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

38
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. You know, we all

40
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: want God to do great things in our lives. I

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 5: think the cry of our heart is God do something

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 5: in me and through me. But you know what's interesting

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 5: about God's promises is ay always come with a condition.

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: Usually we have to do something and then God will

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 5: do something.

46
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: It comes with a condition, a stipulation.

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: You know, I find it very interesting because if God

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 5: can get us to move, then he can move. It's

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: almost as if his condition prepares our heart, it postures

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: us to.

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 4: Receive what he has.

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: You see, if we just wish all day, if we're

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 5: just fishing in the wishing pond, we're not doing anything.

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 5: God says, I am a partner with you. We are

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: joint heirs in Jesus Christ. He wants us to be

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 5: active and participate in what he wants to do in

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: our life. So as we're standing here saying, God, do

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: something amazing through me and in me, bring forth.

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: My desires, listen to what God's condition is.

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: It's found in Psalm thirty seven five, and the Bible

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: says it like this. Delight yourself in the Lord, and

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 5: he will give you the desires of your heart. When

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: you delight yourself in God, he will shape in you

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 5: his desires so that he can bring the best out

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: of you. God wants to shape in you his desires.

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 5: We all want our desires to come to pass. Oh,

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 5: we love to hear God's promises. We want God's promises.

68
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: But what are we delighting in?

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: What are we pursuing? What are we given our time?

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 6: To.

71
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: You see, the scripture says that when we delight in

72
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: the Lord, which means when we find joy and happiness

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: and pleasure in God, it will shape those desires for God.

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: You see, sometimes we have the wrong desires and we're

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: struggling trying to make those things happen. I think sometimes

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: we get backwards. We have a desire and we forget

77
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: to find out what we delight in. We forget what

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 5: gives us fulfillment. We forget to pursue those things that

79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: give us joy, peace and strength and allow those things

80
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 5: to shape us.

81
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: Our delight shapes our desires.

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 5: When Jeel and I first started dating, I worked in

83
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: my family's jewelry store. I worked on Saturdays, so I

84
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: would take off on Fridays. Jewel worked at the church,

85
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 5: so Sunday he would tape his father's messages, he would

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 5: edit them, get them ready to be broadcast on television.

87
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 5: And so he worked on Sundays and I worked on Saturday.

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 5: So we basically didn't see each other on the weekend

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 5: that much. So since I took off on Fridays, Joel

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 5: decided that he was going to take off on Fridays.

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: The only thing was this on my day off on Friday.

92
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 5: I wanted to go to the mall, had to run errands,

93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: I wanted to do the things that I needed to

94
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: do on my day off. But you know what was

95
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 5: really great is Joel didn't care. Joel wanted to be

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: with me. So Joel would go to the mall. He

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: would go with me to the mall because he just

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: wanted to spend the day with me.

99
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: He delighted in that.

100
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: When we first started dating, Joel had season tickets to

101
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: the Rockets. In fact, this was the former Compact Center

102
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: for those of you who don't know, and our first

103
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: date was right here at a Rockets basketball game. He

104
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 5: was such a fan. He loved the games. And I

105
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: love Joel. I love to be with him. Anyway, at

106
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: that point, you could say I delighted in Joel. So

107
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 5: it motivated me to go to the basketball games, motivated

108
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 5: me to become a sports fan.

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: See, I doubt it.

110
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: If I didn't enjoy being with Joel, I doubt I

111
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: would have been so ambitious to go to all those

112
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: basketball games.

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: And I can tell you.

114
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 5: This, if Joel wouldn't have found joy in being with me,

115
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: he wouldn't have been in the mall. You see, he

116
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 5: liked them all because he liked being with me. Do

117
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 5: you get what I'm trying to say here? Our delight

118
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: shapes our desires.

119
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: It wasn't the mall Joel liked. It was being with

120
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: me he liked it.

121
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: Wasn't that I was such an avid fan. I just

122
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 5: wanted to be with Joel, so I became a fan.

123
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 5: Isn't it interesting when we delight in the Lord, we

124
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: want what God wants for us.

125
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 4: We want to do what God does. We want to

126
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: be where God is.

127
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: The things that are important to God all of a

128
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: sudden become very important to us. You see, God wants

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 5: to shape your desire when you delight in him, When

130
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: you find fulfillment in him, He wants to put those

131
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: dreams in you that will come to pass. He wants

132
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 5: you to dream big dreams, but He already has a

133
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: plan for you. When you delight in Him, then your

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: dreams will come to pass. I find it interesting that

135
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: the apostle Paul said this in Second Corinthian six, and

136
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: this is the message translation, and it really sums up

137
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 5: what I'm trying to say. It says, the heart regulates

138
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 5: the hands. Paul was saying what you have in your heart,

139
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: what you find delight in, You're gonna put your hands

140
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: to see what is in your heart is gonna drive

141
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 5: you with great passion and determination. Your hands and your

142
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: heart go together, just like your delight and your desire.

143
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: See the Apostle Paul.

144
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: Was saying, when your heart's right, you'll put your hands

145
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 5: to the right thing. God wants your heart to be

146
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: his garden. He wants to plant his dreams and his

147
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 5: desires in your heart because he wants to bring forth

148
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: God opportunities. He wants to bring forth out of you

149
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 5: God miracles, God moments. In twenty seventeen, listen, don't let

150
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 5: the wrong desires cause you to struggle. Spend your time

151
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 5: with God. Find out what he wants you to do.

152
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 5: Delight in him, take pleasure in the fact that he

153
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: is your God, that he shows you that his plans

154
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: for your good and not evil. There to give you

155
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: a future and a hope. You see, God wants our

156
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 5: He doesn't want our leftovers. God doesn't want the end

157
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: of your day when you're tired and a little miserable.

158
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: God wants the best of your day. Get up every

159
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 4: morning and Greek.

160
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 5: God with a good morning God, it's not as Oh God,

161
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 5: it's mourning. See, God wants our first fruits throughout the day.

162
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 5: We should have conversation with God. We should consult him

163
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: for our decisions, bring him into our relationships, take him

164
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 5: on the job with us.

165
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: Put his word in our heart.

166
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 5: Because when his word is in our heart, what will

167
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 5: happen is it will come up out of us. It

168
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: will guide us and give us great counsel and wisdom.

169
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: Jules Dad used to say it like this.

170
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 5: Put God's word in your heart when you don't need it,

171
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 5: and they'll come out of you. When you do need it,

172
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: God's wisdom will come out of you.

173
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 4: You know.

174
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: Psalm thirty seven says, delight yourself in the Lord, and

175
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 5: He will give you the desires of your heart. Then

176
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 5: it goes on to say commit your ways to God

177
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 5: and he will do this. And it begins to say

178
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 5: how you will overcome. You will any challenge you face,

179
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 5: He will be there. Your enemies won't get the best

180
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: of you. You see, he's talking about delighting yourself, creating

181
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 5: a desire for God.

182
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 4: Then your roots go.

183
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 5: Down deep so you can be committed. You see, I

184
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 5: delighted in mean with Joel I delighted in his friendship.

185
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 5: I delighted getting to know him. My desire was formed

186
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: that he would be my spouse. I married him thirty

187
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: years later.

188
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: I'm committed to that guy. My roots are down deep. Hey,

189
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: through the highs and through the lows. He's mine and

190
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: I'm his.

191
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: There's a commitment that's been formed. See, there's a system

192
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 5: to this. God is saying, delight before desire, desire take root,

193
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 5: and commitment will steady you, strengthen you and anchor you,

194
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: and I will do this. He's saying, when you're committed,

195
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 5: you'll do what you don't feel like doing. He's saying,

196
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: when you're committed, you'll realize even when it's hard on

197
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 5: the other side, there's a great reward.

198
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 4: He's saying. Sooner or later, my way is the best way.

199
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: Be committed and hang on. In twenty seventeen, I'll get

200
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: you where you need to be. God is a faithful God.

201
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 4: He wants our heart.

202
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 5: He wants our heart so that we can put our

203
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 5: hands to his business, to his kingdom, so we can

204
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,479
Speaker 5: be successful.

205
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 4: We can be happy. Listen, we serve a happy God.

206
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 5: God is up in heaven, the Bible says, laughing and

207
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 5: enjoying things, and he wants us down here accomplishing, laughing, enjoying, overcoming,

208
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 5: going from victory to victory.

209
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: Sir, a God who.

210
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 5: Is committed to us, so let's be committed to him.

211
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: I believe if we will take time to invest and

212
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 5: delight and dwell in our God, that he will ignite

213
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 5: those passions and those desires, and we will abound in

214
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: his grace and we will be committed. Our hearts in

215
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: our hands will be moving in the right direction, and

216
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: I believe we'll see miracles happen that we never even expected.

217
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: Amen. Amen, He's an awesome God.
