| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing |
| 0:06.0 | 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 |
| 0:52.2 | postures us to receive what He has. You see, if we just wish all day, if we're just fishing in |
| 1:00.3 | the Wishing Pond, we're not doing anything. God says, I am a partner with you. We are joint |
| 1:08.1 | airs in Jesus Christ. He wants us to be active and participate in what He wants to do in our life. |

| 1:30.2 | delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. When you delight |
| 1:38.6 | yourself in God, He will shape in you His desires so that He can bring the best out of you. |
| 1:48.4 | God wants to shape in you His desires. We all want our desires to come to pass. Oh, we love to hear |
| 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. |
