The Power of Fulfilled Desires

Dear Family, Partners and Friends,

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life." - Proverbs 13:12.

Hold fast to your dreams, even if they seem delayed or far away. Do not let your dreams die. Life without dreams or desires is like a broken-wing bird that cannot fly. 

From the above scripture, we read that when someone's hopes are deferred or delayed, their heart can become sick.  One of the meanings of the word 'deferred' is the word 'delayed'. It means when things seem to drag on or drag out.  This can have the effect of weakening the heart or making it sick.  A person that allows this to happen, can be caught up into negative emotions and feelings.  This is not good ground to grow and produce what your heart desires.  

The word 'heart' here refers to the inner man. But it also refers to the mind and the will. A person with a sick inner heart and a broken will can actually become brokenhearted, which in turn can affect their whole life. The Bible says when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. A tree that produces life and good fruit needs to be fed the right fertilizer, food and the ground needs to be kept sweet. The tree, to produce life, needs to be watered regularly.

We must constantly feed our minds the good Word and promises of God. We must strengthen our will with good testimonies. We must feed and keep the inner man sweet and well-watered. Praise and worship God regularly. Thank Him for His goodness and His wonderful works to you.

Remember the GOOD things He has done.  Encourage yourself in the Lord as David did.  

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1

I dare you to read and meditate on the above scripture and allow faith to be the very substance or the thing that you hope for.

Even if you don't see the desire fulfilled or manifested. Call it into being and declare it is yours because, by faith in the unseen realm, the very thing that you are believing for is coming together, coming into existence and exists already. The desire that you hoped for now comes into being in the unseen realm exists, and is yours already through the unseen substance of faith. 

The phrase, 'when the desire comes,' means a dream fulfilled. A dream fulfilled is a tree of life!  

Don't let Satan steal your dreams! Don't let the dream or the desire go! I dare you, by faith and patience, to inherit the promises of God.  

“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert" (Isaiah 43:18-19).

God promises to send rivers of water to your dry desert times. He promises to do a new thing and causes those new things to spring forth! I encourage you today to hold fast to your dreams through the Word of God. Don't let the devil steal your joy! Encourage yourself in the Lord and believe those things that you say with your mouth will come to pass and stand in faith, giving glory to God until they manifest, in Jesus' name!

Empowering you to win in life through Jesus Christ.

God bless, and have a great day!

Ps. Shaun Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h...

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i...

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result o...
