Divine Guidance | Episode 12 | Godly Desires

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the twelfth episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches how Godly desires play a crucial role in discerning God's will for our lives. God is committed to leading and guiding believers into all truth and good decision-making, which significantly impacts the quality of our lives.

One of the key ways God speaks to us is through our desires. Psalm 37:4-5 states, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust Him, and He shall bring it to pass." This scripture reveals that when we truly delight in God and seek Him, He will align our desires with His will for our lives.

The message challenges the misconception that God's will is always something we don't want to do. Instead, as we grow closer to God and delight in Him, He transforms our hearts, replacing worldly desires with godly ones that reflect His plans for us. This process makes following God's will an exciting and joyful adventure rather than a burdensome obligation.

Peace and joy are the main indicators of God's leading. Colossians 3:15 instructs us to let the peace of God rule in our hearts. This peace serves as an "umpire," helping us discern whether we're hearing from God and following His guidance. By focusing on developing godly desires through a close relationship with God, believers can experience the joy of serving Him while fulfilling His purposes for their lives.
