Holy Desperation,: How to Find God When You Need Him Most (Inspirational Messages of Spiritual Truths and Holy Living)

ARE YOU DESPERATE?

Are you desperate to be blessed by God?
Has your lifestyle and priorities caused you to be in a desperate situation?
Are you desperate to live, to live free of burden and full of the power of God?
Are you desperate to know God and the fullness of His salvation and assurance of heaven?

ARE YOU DESPERATE FOR A FRESH TOUCH FROM GOD?

Vance Havner reminds us that everyone in the Bible who got a blessing was desperate.
Consider:
Bartimaeus came with his blindness and went away seeing.
The Lepers came with their hated disease and went away healed.
The Woman who touched our Lord in the crowed came away whole.
In desperation, friends tear up a roof to get a sick friend to Jesus and he is healed.
Zacchaeous does a bold thing and desperately climbs a tree to get to Jesus.

Havner says, €œSuch daring and desperate souls always touched his (Jesus) heart.€

ARE YOU DESPERATE TO GET TO JESUS?

Havner says, €œHoly desperation is the door to God€s greatest blessings. Those who proved Him best in the Scriptures were at the end of everything.€

Havner was truly an instrument in God€s hands. He spoke with purpose and power, and the Holy Spirit used him to touch the raw nerves in listeners€ hearts. On many occasions he reminded his audience, €œI have come to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.€

When we feel far from God and need a fresh touch from Him and want a closer walk with Him and desire to know His love, His will, and know His presence more than anything else and want to obey Him more than anything else, we are becoming desperate. And when we desperately need God and want God more than anything else €“ we will find Him and be blessed.

In Holy Desperation, you will learn how to find God and be blessed.
May God make us desperate!
