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.

0:21.2

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

0:27.0

do something in me and through me. Let 2017 be a year that you really bring forth the dreams

0:35.6

and desires in my heart. But you know what's interesting about God's promises is they always come

0:42.4

with a condition. Usually we have to do something and then God will do something. It comes with a

0:49.8

condition, a stipulation. You know, I find it very interesting because if God can get us to move,

0:57.5

then He can move. It's almost as if His condition prepares our heart. It postures us to receive what He

1:05.7

has. You see, if we just wish all day, if we're just fishing in the Wishing Pond, we're not doing

1:13.3

anything. God says, I am a partner with you. We are joint heirs in Jesus Christ. He wants us to be

1:45.7

you the desires of your heart. When you delight yourself in God, He will shape in you His desires so

1:56.0

that He can bring the best out of you. God wants to shape in you His desires. We all want our desires

2:05.7

to come to pass. Oh, we love to hear God's promises. We want God's promises. But what are we

2:12.5

delighting in? What are we pursuing? What are we given our time to? You see, the scripture says that

2:19.7

when we delight in the Lord, which means when we find joy and happiness and pleasure in God,

2:27.3

it will shape those desires for God. You see, sometimes we have the wrong desires and we're

2:35.3

struggling trying to make those things happen. I think sometimes we get it backwards. We have a

2:41.5

desire and we forget to find out what we delight in. We forget what gives us fulfillment. We forget

2:49.3

to pursue those things that give us joy, peace and strength and allow those things to shape us,
