Episode Synopsis

It don't seem right,
black and white
And I'm struggling with a war in me
And honestly,
it's crippling
My heart longs to run to you
When darkness all around me
I just wanna see
Where your,
where your,
where your heart is
When desires leave me empty
I just wanna be
Where your,
where your,
where your heart is

Philippians chapter 2 verse 13 in the amplified classic version of the Bible
It says not in your own strength, for it is God who is all the while
Effectually at work in you, energizing and creating in you
The power and desire both to will and to work
His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight

Friends, there are words that we use many times in expressing spiritual realities that are difficult for people to relate with
And one of them is the word burdens
And many times you hear people say,
oh, I have a burden in my heart
Oh, the spirit of the Lord has laid this burden on my heart
And a burden is a motive placed in your heart by God
And that motive sometimes comes as a weight
And it has to be expressed, if it is not expressed, it will fade away
And then you cannot be trusted with divine motives

And what a burden is basically is that you are filled in your heart and in your mind to see something done by God
And many times we begin to use our own mind
And the strength of our own zeal to try to make these things happen
Moses had a burden for the children of Israel
And he tried to carry it out in his own zeal
But he killed someone
He became a murderer
He became a murderer until he found a ground of fellowship with God
Such that he could understand how God wanted to carry out the desire and the budding that he had placed in his heart

Friend, the fire of passion can sometimes burn the passionate
Don't run into trouble trying to pursue burdens
It is God who walks in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure
So the strength of your zeal is human error
And God who gave you the desire has a way that he wants that thing done
He has a way he wants to accomplish it

And sometimes we get a bad reputation for wanting to do good
You must learn how to manage your desires by checking how God wants this thing done
It is not enough to just have a burden
You must find the ground of fellowship to understand how God wants it done
Have a blessed day friends!
