What is the deepest desire of your heart? PSALM 37:4

1.1 As I delight in knowing and serving God, He (God) play desires within me. He causes me to desire those things which are in His plan for my life. 1.2 A I delight in knowing and serving God He give me things I desire. Spiritual and natural things I desire. Spiritual and Natural things a granted unto me, as a father on earth desire to give to give good gifts to his children. 1.3 Desire is not God-given, it is part of development of destiny in our live, eg. They young man who loves to talk and cannot be quite in class may someday communicate truths that will change the lives of his listeners. 1.4 The young woman who loves to tell everyone what to do and take control of every situation may someday manage and govern their lives of people.

1.5 Your desire is linked to your destiny. Desires, as God created it, is a positive power you’ll discover your destiny as you clarify things you really want.

10.WHAT DO PEOPLE WANT TO GATHER AROUND AND HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH? What do people want to help me do?

Acts 16:10

Paul had a vision, but all of those with Him immediately picked it up and willing to go with it, that happened when destiny is there. People sense it get involved.

Churches, business, Ministries, that are born of God

attract people, and like a magnet, get them involved with the vision. Department in the church or in businesses that are destined to prosper attract the necessary people to make them succeed. When no one is interested and no one will get involve, it could be (though not always) that this is not a part of your destiny.
