I Desire to Desire to Desire You God

Without a true deep longing and an unquenchable desire for God I will never experience the complete manifestation of JESUS in my life. Until I remove the crowns from my vain possessions and glory-seeking positions and rid the sanctuary of my heart designed by God for God of all my selfishness, pride, and everything that competes in my spirit for the crown that rightly belongs only on God, my life will be incomplete. Simply, my life belongs to God, and everything I possess, I am to manage under the authority of God. Everything was created by God and given to His creation, but nothing was meant to compete with my desire for God. I should allow nothing to take my eyes off of God and lessen my relish for Him. I understand I am human, But I am empowered by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to love and trust God above all else, to love my neighbor as I love myself, to resist the devil, to thank God for temptations but not sin, to be holy because God is holy, to seek God like a hidden treasure, to humbly obey the commandments of God (all of them), to give God all the glory, to discern crafty snares and traps and not fall prey, to know I need God every moment of my life, to listen and not speak foolishly, to let God increase in my life as I decrease, to have a pure heart, to be poor in spirit, to be a good financial steward, to not let circumstances dictate who I am, to never deny Christ, to worship God in all I do, to understand I was blessed for the purpose of blessing others, to not be a barrier for others seeking God, to know that health and wealth will fail me, but God never will, to be patient and wait on the Lord, to allow God to change people, to lead my family with grace, to guard my heart above all else, to allow the Holy Spirit to constantly inspect my heart, to give God thanks for all things, to hear the voice of God above all else, to have the fear of God necessary to obtain divine wisdom, to fully surrender ALL of ME to GOD!

(2 Corinthians 5:15-17)
And he (Jesus) died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

I believe there is a world of difference between “being” in Christ and “believing” in Christ, and this verse does not read: Therefore, if anyone believes in Christ, he is a new creation… Even the devil believes in Christ. Is the devil a new creation? No the devil is not IN Christ.

(Revelation 21:5)
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Who is seated on the throne of my heart today? (Possessions, Positions, People)? Job title, car, family member, pride disguised as humility, thoughts, addictions, desires, laziness, deceitfulness (fill in the blank) ______, or is GOD ?

God I ashamed my desire for You has diminished. Lord make me hungry and thirsty for only You and all of You, oh God. Oh God, continue to search me and show me the idols I worship. God, I know my everything belongs to You, and it is only by Your ever endearing grace and mercy that I can come before You. My heart cries out.. Oh God I need You – consume me like a ravishing fire and burn all of my idols to ashes. Clean and restore Your temple that is rightly Yours. Fill me oh God with all of You. Let me only hunger and thirst for righteousness. Oh God come burn down everything that is not You inside of me, and Your light inside of me will shine through me, drawing others to You, and the glory is always Yours forever. Thank You, God – Amen!

(Psalm 73:25-26)
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

(Revelations 21:6-8)
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
