My Wish!

 


My wish!

A petition before God according to my plan to be full filled. 

And it's very much natural to wish like this because we all are in human.

In fact our God created, human beings with emotions and passions.

And for what we wish, which is not in our control or something outside of our control that we strongly desire. Yes?

Otherwise whatever is in our control Do we really wish for that ? No

But Revelation 3:15-20 tells us -  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

But our God is so good that He gave human beings free will and, in doing so, intentionally allows us the freedom to choose Him or Not.

When on earth, Jesus expressed another “wish” when He said, “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!”

Luke 12:49 -  I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 

He knew the crucifixion was approaching to Him, and after that He would pour out the Holy Spirit upon His followers. 

Acts 1:8 tells us - But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 

Jesus longed to send the Spirit, but knew, He first had to undergo the horror of the crucifixion. His “wish” was not wrong. It was human.

If the wish is based on truth and positive change, it can become a goal 
and, then reality
However, a wish can be wrong if we give it precedence (प्रधानता) over
God’s plan for us.  
When Jesus, in Gethsemane, “wished” that His Father would find another
way to redeem humanity Because he as a human is praying and no to
have that pain and suffering of crusification, which he already know.
Still He did not end His prayer there. 
He did not allow His human desire to overrule God’s will. 
He wrestled within His spirit until He could
truthfully say, “Not my will but yours be done” (Luke22:42)
And this is the exact point when we really surrounded by our most of worldly
desires and wishes whether it’s Good Positions / Good Money / Good Life
Style / Good Family / Good Husband / Good Wife / Good Children
/ Good Ministry and I forgot one thing to Settle in Abroad …. 
But not to trying to understand that what the purpose and 
desires o of God is having from us through our lives  
And Now Very Important Point, what are we Wishing?
Wishing can also be wrong if the object of that wish is sin.

Deuteronomy 5:21 teaches us - Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

When our wish is based on dissatisfaction with what God has ordained for us it is a wrong wish.

Our real need is to learn to be thankful for what God has given and learn to use everything for His glory and purpose.
(1 Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:16). 

Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” When pleasing the Lord is our greatest joy, He adjusts our wishes.

Even He changes the desires of our hearts to line up with His desires for us—His desires become ours so that we wish for the things that delight Him. In the process, we find ourselves delighted.

When we wish for things that are congruent with His plan, we can pray with confidence that He hears and will answer. 
(John 15:7; 1 John 5:14; Matthew 21:22) - If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

So In Last What The Bible actually commands us to wish for/desire wisdom.
(Proverbs 24:14) - So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: When thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, And thy expectation shall not be cut off.

When our wishes are centered on what God desires, we can ask God for them 
in faith. 
When we have heaven’s perspective, our wishes are sanctified, 
According to 1John 5:15 -  and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, 
we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
and if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—
we know that we have what we asked of him”

May God Bless You.
