Divine order cannot be circumvented. For a person to receive from God, their heart must be set on God. The one whose heart (desires) is set on the world detests everything of God. Since the rendezvous point of our reception of God is in the heart, the heart that loves the world has no room for what is of God and can therefore not receive from God. The reality is that, we do not truly desire the things we seek of God, having a contrary desire rooted in our hearts.

In the message, "How To Receive From God: Why We Do Not Receive From The Lord", Pastor Jeffrey Walter discusses why friendship of the world blocks us from receiving from God. This message seeks to open our eyes to the worldly affections we must give up in order to truly contact God.
