2. 5 Things Every Saint Should Intend to do: (How largely they go unfulfilled)
• Unto thee will I pray. (notice 1st before all else) (from the heart)



kjv@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

• My voice shalt thou hear in the morning.



kjv@Psalms:119:147 @ I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.


kjv@Psalms:130:6 @ My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

• I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

• In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.



kjv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

kjv@John:2:20 @ Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

kjv@John:2:21 @ But he spake of the temple of his body.


kjv@1Peter:1:18 @ Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

kjv@1Peter:1:19 @ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

kjv@1Peter:1:20 @ Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

kjv@1Peter:1:21 @ Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.





3. Concerning the Saint's Best Intentions - 2 best reasons why. (How often we lose sight)
• For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness.


• Neither shall evil dwell with thee.


• The foolish shall not stand in thy sight.


• Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.


• For there is no faithfulness in their mouth.


• Their inward part is very wickedness.


• Their throat is an open sepulchre.


• They flatter with their tongue.


• They have rebelled against thee.


• For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous.


• Let them fall by their own counsels.


• Destroy thou them, O God; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions.


• Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice.


• Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them.


• Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.






4. To What End Should the Saint's Intentions be Directed? (What other things our intentions become)
• Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness.


Quoted resource: strongs 'H5148'

kjv@Psalms:143:8 @ Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

kjv@Psalms:143:9 @ Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

kjv@Psalms:143:10 @ Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

• Make thy way straight before my face.




Quoted resource: strongs 'H3474'


H3474 @ ישׁר yâshar yaw-shar' A primitive root; to be straight or even; figuratively to be (causatively to make) {right} {pleasant} prosperous: - {direct} {fit} seem good ({meet}) + please ({well}) be ({esteem} go) right ({on}) bring ({look} {make} take the) straight ({way}) be upright (-ly).



kjv@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

kjv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

kjv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

kjv@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

kjv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

kjv@Hebrews:12:13 @ And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.





5. Does the Saint Ever Truly Fulfill that which He/She Best Intended? (How now to better fulfill our best intentions)
• Give ear to my words.


• Most times actions speak loader than words. (Faithfulness/Sincerity/Humility/Correctablility/Perseverance)


• Am I giving HIM reason to give an ear? or just more of the same? (mercy not deserved/the attempt is appreciated)


• Am I going in from the start to first hear HIS words?


• Am I speaking from the heart or just my lips?


• Consider my meditation.


• My thought life as it lately has been... should it really be considered?


• Have my fears and doubts and business, selfish blindness and temper and lusts clouded my thought processes?


• Hearken unto the voice of my cry,


• My King? (To what exent?)


• My God? (Supreme/Sovereign)


• Intend to do what God intends for you to do... Intend to be what all God intends for you to do!


• Stay close by His side and He will lead you by His stength and lovingkindness all the way there!
