Great Desire

Have you ever wanted any thing so bad that you thought you would die if you did not get it. I am sure we have all felt that way some time in our life. I would like to share just a little revelation that the Lord has given me. Today Pastor Alan Ferguson (my pastor) gave a wonderful message. How do we relate to Jesus? He read a passage in Luke 22:15 which reads Then He said to them, With fervent desire I have desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. In this scripture He, Jesus, has great desire. I could never understand great desire. I know that there were time in my life that I wanted something so bad I thought I would die if I could not get it, but to have this kind of desire I could not imagine. Well one day when I was in prayer I told the Lord that I love Him so much and that He was like an addiction to me. I could not get enough of Him. At that moment He rebuked me. He said to me, No. An addiction is something that your flesh wants but that will kill you if you continue it and I am not that. Immediately I repented and asked the question " then what is this that I am feeling." He gave me the revelation of fervent desire. That is what Jesus felt that day. He so longed to eat Passover one more time with His disciples before He suffered. Just one more time. So when you are before Abba in prayer or just in communication with Him or just in praise and worship in you prayer closet and you feel like you can't get enough of Him, you have to have more of Him or you will just die, now you know what fervent desire is. That is Great Desire.
By His Grace
