"Love God & Do What You Want"

Psalm 37:4 (New International Version)

4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

"What Is God's Will For Your Life?"

• The answer to this question is DEEP, but a "simple" answer comes from Psalm 37.4 noted above
• You must have a relationship with God
• You must talk with and seek Your Creator
• You must DELIGHT yourself in The Lord

Nutshell: "Love God And Do What You Want." ~ Erwin McManus

If you love God, if you DELIGHT in Him, He will begin to shape your heart and mold your character into the person He created you to be. You will want what He wants, you will love what He loves, you will desire what He desires.

The sin you use to love and think you were free in will no longer be attractive to you. When the light of Christ enters your life, the darkness you use to live in will be exposed and it will make you wonder how in the world you ever use to live like that.

Delighting In God = Freedom
Delighting in your sin = Imprisonment

Jesus Gives Us The Full Life

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10.10

Nutshell: Gain by Giving = You want the full life, Give your life to Jesus

Jesus Is Knocking

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me (Revelation 3:14,20), emphasis added

I want you to focus on the word "open." Jesus wants to open up our lives, He wants to expand our territory and widen our spaces. He did not come to condemn, (John 3.17) but instead to save.

Nutshell: Open your life up to Jesus The Christ and He will open up your life to the full!
