Jesus said in Mark 11:24,
"Therefore
I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that
ye receive them, and ye shall have them." |
People
achieve based on the level that they see themselves achieving. The
image we have of ourselves is the level that we live at. Our
self-image is like a thermostat that regulates the amount of success that
we are willing to accept in our life. To get a dream, we must
believe that we are worth the reward that comes with the achievement.
If you are “born-again”, you have a VERY wealthy Father.
You are God’s child! Like any good parent, God wants the best for
His children. He wants to give you many blessings.
Consider the enormous wealth of God:
•
The whole world is the Lord’s (Psalm 24:1)
•
The silver and gold is the Lord’s (Haggai 2:8)
•
God owns the cattle on 1000 hills (Psalm 50:10)
•
Heaven is made of pure gold and precious stones (Rev 21)
•
There is perfect health and happiness in heaven (Rev 21)
God can also bless you with things that money cannot buy:
•
God loves you and gives you Everlasting Life through
Jesus (John 3:16)
•
Grace and Mercy (2 John 1:3)
•
Love, Joy, Peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-24)
•
You have a Family and Friends in Christ (1 Corinthians 12)
•
Less burdens (Matthew 11:30)
•
Health and Healings (Exodus 15:26)
•
Wisdom (James 1:5)
•
Your goals, dreams, plans, and purposes (Psalm 37:4)
God is your source. John 3:27 says, “A man can receive nothing, except it be given
him from heaven.” With God as your source and supply, your blessings
are unlimited and endless. Deuteronomy 28 explains how God will
bless us in every way. And Psalms 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.”
God is
continually pouring out great ideas, and great opportunities for us, but
we must be open to receive them.
Always be
thankful for ALL that God has done for you. And, open up and receive
the many ways that God wants to bless you, and give you Favor!
It doesn’t matter what God wants to give you, if
you refuse to receive it. Imagine having a winning lottery ticket
worth $10,000,000 in your dresser. What if you never realized you had the
winning ticket, and you never received your money? Imagine someone
sending you a $1,000,000 check. Would you refuse to cash it? Imagine
inheriting billions of dollars, but not ever finding out about it. God’s
blessings are bigger than any of these things, and many Christians either
do not fully realize them, or refuse to receive them.
Like in farming, once you get a
"Harvest", you must accept it, and
reap it, or it will just rot. God can give you a Hundredfold
Harvest, but you must go and REAP the Harvest. Abundant blessings
will come to us when we are ready to
receive them with an open and grateful heart.
Jesus said in Mark 11:24,
"Therefore
I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that
ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
•
Will we receive what God
has promised us, and wants to give us?
•
Will we receive what God
and Jesus have already done for us?
•
Will we receive our
success?
