"what you pray for reveals your heart"

Joyce Meyer has always been one of my favorite preachers eversince. I used to watch her in RPN channel 9 every 9:30 AM. ( I'm not sure if it's still in the same channel and time now). For me, she is one of the most excellent preachers when it comes to teaching Christian life. She has a very good way of combining boldness and humor in teaching Christian living which will really make you want to meditate on the word of God, introspect and check your lifestyle as a Christian. However, I discontinued listening to her daily broadcast for quite sometime because I've begun to fall in love with Pastor Joel Osteen (ministry ) who is equally a great speaker.

Couple days ago, I thought of listening to Joyce Meyer's broadcast again through live video streaming online. And again, I am so amazed of the rich contents of her sermon plus her ever splendid style of preaching the gospel.

After I listened to the second part of her sermon this evening, " Character traits of an excellent man" , here's one point that caught me.

"what you pray for reveals your heart"

Listen to you heart and you will know more about yourself. Look at the prayers of Paul and Jesus. ( Ephesian 3:16- 19, Philippians 3:10, Philippians 1:9-11, Matthew 5:44 Colossians 1:9- 12, Matthew 26:41)

Tonight before we all go to bed, let's check on what's in our prayer list.

Is it mostly material? Is it all about ourselves? Is it all about the world? Is it all about getting ahead?

But this is Paul's prayer ' and it is my prayer, that your love may abound more and more...that I may be pure and blameless...filled with fruit of righteosness that comes through Jesus Christ.'

To God be the glory! Amen!
