Topic: Desire...The First Ingredient Of Faith

Faith is the substance of what you desire…with an expectation of obtaining what you hold as a vision…that comes by looking forward…to receiving this vision…with confidence. There are five ingredients to faith: desire, expectation, vision, looking forward, and confidence. Like baking a cake, none of these five ingredients of faith can stand alone or be left out. The first ingredient of faith is desire. You have to want what you are praying for. You have to want what you are praying for so bad you can taste it. You have to want what you are praying for so bad you will give up your life for it. You must desire what you pray for with a fire inside of you. In your faith, your desire to have what you are praying for should be so intense that the fire of the Lord's will burns inside of you. Nothing happens in the kingdom of God without a consuming fire of faith in the soul. Missionaries do not risk their lives without that fire. Ministers do not submerge their egos without that fire. You don't battle physical ailments to get to church without that fire. If you desire nothing in Christ, you get nothing. The desire or the fire that burns within you has to be a desire to please God, to do his will, to risk anything and everything to see His will would be done.
