Aflame With His Desires - God wants us to be so aflame with His desires that we cry out in desperation for them to be fulfilled. He wants to pour out upon us the Spirit of grace and supplication so that we can ask for — and He can give us — an outpouring of His glory that will sweep nations into the kingdom of God

"Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession." - Psalm 2:8

God wants to do such mighty things now.

The end of this age is bearing down rapidly upon us and He fervently desires to break through in power upon humanity. 

He longs to show Himself as God so that all the people of the earth might have the opportunity to worship Him.

Despite His burning desire, however, God cannot do anything in the earth unless someone asks Him. 

That is the way He has always worked. 

It is His plan, and even in these most urgent final hours, He holds to that way of doing things.

So He is reaching out now to those who will pray.

Many times in the past, it has been as if we were reaching out to Him. 

But these days the tables are turned. 

He is reaching out to us with great strength and intensity. 

He is saying to us, “Ask! Ask! ASK OF ME!”

He is moving upon us to pray prayers of supplication.

He is stirring us to obey Ephesians 6:18 by “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”

If you will study the word supplication, you will find that it means “an earnest entreaty or request.” 

It means to ask from the heart with deep feeling and fervency. 

It isn’t just a casual asking.

To supplicate, you must desire something so desperately that you cannot be satisfied until you receive it.

In these days of destiny, God needs for us to do more than make simple requests of Him. 

He needs for us to have His heart. 

He wants us to be so aflame with His desires that we cry out in desperation for them to be fulfilled.

He wants to pour out upon us the Spirit of grace and supplication (Zechariah 12:10) so that we can ask for — and He can give us — an outpouring of His glory that will sweep nations into the kingdom of God.
