Jan 4, 2022 · What God wants is really quite simple: He wants us. All our service for God must flow from those two commands to love, or it is not real service; it is fleshly effort. And Romans 8:8 says that those who are “in the flesh cannot please God.”. First, God wants us to trust in His Son as Savior and Lord (Philippians 2:9–11).

- God’s plan for your life is different than your own plans; but His plans will prove to be perfect.
- The world measures “success” in terms of fame and fortune, but God measures true riches in terms of love and relationships. Money is temporary, but love lasts forever (and God loves YOU).
- You don’t need to wait on anyone’s permission to do what God has put on your heart to do. Not everyone will support you or understand you, but that’s okay.
- Don’t be discouraged by not seeing the whole plan all at once. God usually just reveals one small step at a time. Trust Him and trust His timing.

One of the most important things God wants us to do is forgive others. It’s one of the most important because God forgiving us depends on if we forgive others. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 6. Right after he taught the disciples how they should pray He said: It can’t get any clearer than that. Is there currently someone you need to forgive? Don’...
Another thing God wants us to do is to look after widows and orphans. While confronting those who consider themselves religious but can’t control their tongue, James 1:21 says: In actuality, this verse states two things God wants us to do, but we’ll leave the second part for the next section. Those who are distressed matter to God and he wants them...
Following up on the last point, James 1:21 also indicated that God wants us to keep ourselves from being polluted by the world. You’ve probably heard it said before “be in the world but not of the world” or “you are the light of the world”. Besides James 1:21, other scriptures show that God wants us to keep ourselves pure. Speaking of marriage, Eph...
The next thing God wants us to do is to seek first his kingdom and righteousness. While telling his audience that they shouldn’t worry about their basic needs, Jesus said “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”. Well, what is God’s kingdom and righteousness you might ask? His Kingdom is ...
God also wants us to serve others. After a mother asked Jesus to grant her sons seats to his left and right when he came into his Kingdom, Jesus used the opportunity to teach his disciples about the desire to become great. He told them “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave” (...
Similar to serving others, God wants us to be generous. Psalms 24:1 states that “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;” (NIV). Understanding that, we should treat the things we possess as God’s assets. God wants us to be prepared to give things away at any moment. “But I worked for those things” you might...
If you are a believer, this one shouldn’t come as a surprise. God not only wants us to accept the gospel but also to share it. To his disciples, Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15 NIV). If we are his disciples we are to do the same. It doesn’t mean we have to leave our jobs and do it full time, but...
Another thing God wants us to do is to manage the earth. This includes making use of everything He gave us and showing Him a return. Did you know that’s why God created us in the first place? In Genesis 1:28 God told man: A great parable that further shows God wants us to manage what He gave us is the Parable of the Talents. Jesus likens God’s King...
God also wants us to pray. Teaching his listeners how they should pray, Jesus in Matthew 6:5 began by saying “And when you pray…” (NIV). Notice He said “when” rather than “if”. This shows that He expects us to pray. Another verse says “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NIV). When we pray, we partner with God to make things happen on earth. Sa...
Lastly, God wants us to apply his word. Without application, all of the things you learned in this article will be for nothing. Addressing those who don’t obey, Jesus said “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46 NIV). He went on to describe everyone that hears his words and puts them into practice as a builder that b...
Jan 14, 2024 · Ask God to open your eyes, mind, and heart to what He wants to reveal to you through the passage. The Holy Spirit inspired the Scripture and He desires to make it come alive to us today (2 Timothy 3:16). An example prayer is: “Father, as I read Your Word, speak to me. Give me fresh insight and wisdom for applying this to my life.”.
May 4, 2022 · Promise #5 - You Are Who the Bible Says You Are. Every night as I tuck my children into bed, I remind them that God has a special plan for their life. God has the same for each of us, but sometimes we doubt and don’t feel special. While no one is perfect, you are not flawed, inferior, or replaceable in God’s eyes.

May 3, 2022 · By eating of the tree of life, man would receive God’s life. On the other hand, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil represents Satan, God’s enemy, who is the source of death. God warned Adam that to eat of that tree would result in death. Notice that the Bible doesn’t call these two trees “the tree of life and good” and “the ...
