I hate fear. I hate it with a burning passion. I hate it with an eternal zeal. It is the fuel for defeat. It is the foundation of lies. It is the womb of all falsehood. It is the snare for souls. It is the beginning of destruction. It is the child of the eternal liar.
The power of desire: It’s probably the most important tool a person can have to rise above many obstacle is desire. Desire is the most powerful force that caused motion in the lives of individuals. According to the bible, “through desire, a man separates himself and intermeddles with all wisdom.” Now, wisdom is the principle thing. Thus the bible says in all your getting, get wisdom.” However we see in the first quote that the way to intermeddle as intercourse with all wisdom requires a separation of oneself from all former of familiar things and the way to do that is by having a desire to do so.
We see that the most important element of growth change is desire. You can’t make a person change if they don’t have a desire to change. You can’t help a person change if they don’t have a desire to do so. The first step for an individual to change their circumstances, either for the good or bad is having a desire to do so. For example, if a person says I can’t read my bible or I just seem to forget to read my bible is that they don’t have a desire to do so. Consider the woman with the issue of blood who touched Jesus and was healed. The bible tells us that she said to herself “If I just touch the hem of his garment, I shall be healed.” Now she desired to touch Jesus but where did that desire come from? It came from what she heard. Now where did what she heard come from? It came by way of a witness account of what Jesus did. Now where did what Jesus did come from? It came by way of his physical presence. You see a person can only desire that which is possible. And as far as a natural man understands, what is possible is based on what can be seen. You have to believe. Search for yourself. Look in your heart. Then search the scriptures and compare. Whatever doesn’t line up has to be adjusted. You can’t change the Bible. But you can change your mentality. Do what you can. You're not always going to be perfect. But improve.
