In this devotional short, the speaker urges believers to let God transform their desires so that they seek Him rather than material blessings. He explains that God does not grant people what they ask for, but rather reshapes what they desire. By delighting in God, the heart’s cravings shift from “stuff” to Him, changing how one looks, acts, and worships. The speaker illustrates this with Solomon’s request for wisdom (1 Kings 3:11‑13), noting that because Solomon asked for something beyond common wealth, God gave him both wisdom and the riches he didn’t ask for. The message culminates in the concept of the “mature body of Christ,” which pursues the Blesser (God) instead of chasing blessings; when the focus is on the Kingdom and the Blesser, blessings naturally follow.

Chapters

God wants your desires to become his desires. Of your heart. He doesn't give you what you desire, he gives you what to desire. When you delight in him, he rewires your heart's wants. The same heart that used to ache for stuff begins to ache for him. The same hands that used to grab now and lift up in worship, uh, those same hands God is anointing those hands. The same eyes that used to scan for the next thing now look only for his face and his face alone. And here is what happens when your desires are rewired. The stuff you used to chase starts chasing you. Solomon didn't ask for riches. He asked for wisdom. And God said, because you didn't ask For what most people ask for, Solomon. I'm going to give you what you ask for and what you didn't ask for. First Kings chapter three, verse eleven through thirteen. The mature body hear me. The mature body of Christ is not chasing blessings. The mature body of Christ is chasing the blesser. The mature body of Christ is seeking the kingdom first. And when you chase after the kingdom, after you— when you chase after the blesser, the blessings catch up to you because they can't survive in his absence.
