I HAVE A WISH LIST, AND WHAT I DESIRE MOST OF ALL FROM GOD IS?

I HAVE A WISH LIST, AND WHAT I DESIRE MOST OF ALL FROM GOD IS?

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20 

Luke tells us in Luke 11:9-10…… “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

But my friends we must also base those text on our PASSION to KNOW GOD AND TO GROW IN GOD SPIRITUALLY. God enters the soul of each child of His, through His Spirit. So if we listen very careful to what God’s Spirit is telling us once we have allowed him to transform our lives.

Then what we seek, and ask our Savior for will have nothing to do with what we may want as far as the things of this world is concerned.

Paul says in Phil. 3:8 (KJV) “and I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but DUNG, that I may win Christ.”

So what Paul is telling us is, what the god of this world has allowed us to place before our Savior who shed His blood on Calvary so that we may have ETERNAL LIFE, We can put in the same category as ANIMAL MANURE.

As we continue to seek Christ PRESENCE daily, John 15:7 tells us “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”  But my friends our asking must be all about bringing Christ to the forefront of our life in that “ONCE WE WERE LOST but now WE ARE FOUND, Was blind, but now WE SEE.”

Ask my friends, and receive the blessings that God the Father ordained specifically for you since the foundation of our world. But James states it best in James 4:3 “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with WRONG MOTIVES, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”

So whatever you ask, you must make it all about GOD and GOD only. So today have faith in your asking, and start living a life saturated in overwhelming blessings that focuses on Gods needs and not yours. Each faithful follower of Christ “….who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God John 1:12

And as His CHILDREN “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matt. 7:11

But As we move around in this sinful world and we become more attached to earthly things, that connection to Christ weakens, and is sometimes broken. That is why our focus must be forever on Christ, His word, and Him Crucified.

So each day remind yourself that Salvation IF ACCEPTED, is a GIFT if we CHOOSE. And along with that free gift is God’s blessings. Some large, some small, or sometimes it may just be a deepening knowledge of yourself and learning that you are stronger than you thought because you gave it all to the Master.

Or it could be that through your blessings, God is teaching you grace in a way you never expected. My friends each day you wake up you must realize the price paid for your salvation. And your heartfelt gratitude will be to serve Him each day of your life as you give Him all the glory and honor.

And now, let your prayers always be “LORD I’M AVAILABLE TO YOU.” So my friends today as GOD’S CHOSEN GENERATION let’s make SERVING CHRIST and taking the good news of the Gospel to our friends, family, love one’s, co-workers neighbors, and a world who seeks hope among the turmoil of our world, our number one priority.

And my friends if we allow that to happen God will “throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” and of course the ultimate BLESSING, ETERNAL LIFE.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
