We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Know the difference between God's will and what you want. And it's okay to want nice things.

It's okay to want things. Nothing's wrong with that. But you got to know the difference. Amen?

That's a sign of maturity. So will in the noun form basically means usually in singular the faculty by which a person

decides on or initiates an action. That's pretty self-explanatory. Control deliberately exerted

to do something or to restrain one's own what impulses that's to will a deliberate or fixed desire

or intention these this is what god's will and what your will are a deliberate or fixed desire

or intention so what god wills for you is what he intends for you. Amen. Anything else outside of

what he intends is what you want. And the thing that one desires or ordains is, of course,

the will. And that will be in the form of like a last will or something. All right. So let's understand

the difference between these two because this is going to be a different year. This is going to be

the year that your prayers, how many want you, how many of you want your prayers effective?

It's a bad feeling when prayers don't work. Amen. I've prayed them and they didn't work and that

doesn't feel good. But there's a way to make your prayers work. Your prayers work when they are in line with what God wants. When they're in line with his will, they always work. Many times we lose patience with God when there is a delay in things that we want or desire.

In our realm, time is linear, but God's time is what? Infinite. God's time is different from

yours. Had a lady tell him another day, when is it time to just file for a divorce?

I emailed her back and I said, never.

She said, no, no. I said, well, no, you're not supposed to file for divorce.

You've got to pray for your husband.

I've been praying for four years.

I've been praying.

See, that's linear time. You put a time, you put a linear time on
