Ask God to make you Wealthy

"Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not" (James 4:2 KJV).

After reading this Bible verse, I realize that one of the best ways to succeed in life is to ask God for what you want. I know this sounds ridiculously simple, but I believe that asking God for what you want guarantees success.

For example, if you ask God to make you wealthy on a regular and frequent basis, you are causing your mind to fully focus on this goal. Once your mind is consistently focused on being wealthy, your behavior will change. You will begin to read books on becoming wealthy as well as listening to audio books regarding this.

Your knowledge on becoming wealthy will grow and grow. Then you will start to invest your money in the stock market, in real estate, and in small businesses successfully. Your money will grow exponentially, making you wealthy.

When you ask God for something, you are altering the sails and rudders of your mind, causing your behavior to alter, thereby causing your life direction to alter. You see, words have power. Words are spiritual. Reality itself changes according to your words.

Ask, the Bible Promise

"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14 KJV).

After reading this Bible promise, I realize that if this promise is true, then we have much power at our disposal. Then we have the power to attain whatever we want in life. This promise alone would render failure impossible, and would guarantee success.

This Bible promise can revolutionize your life. Just think. To attain a goal, all you need to do is ask God for it and you'll have it, as long as you ask in Jesus' name. Given this, attaining goals can be as easy as pie.

This Bible promise can free you of any limitations or roadblocks. Not only will you be able to get from point A to point B without any trouble, you'll be able to be everywhere.

God and Suffering

"The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower" (Psalm 18:2 KJV).

After reading this Bible verse, it appears to me that God protects those who trust in Him. But paradoxically, those that trust in Him sometimes still suffer. It appears that God does not completely protect those who trust in Him from suffering.

Why does God allow those who follow and trust Him to sometimes suffer? Perhaps suffering serves a purpose. Suffering generally changes the direction of a person's life. Without suffering, a person will usually keep on the same course in life. Suffering can change the course.

Given this, perhaps God will sprinkle some suffering into a person's life whenever He wants the person to take on a new direction, such as a job change.
