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.

Ask by Prayer and Imagination

"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you" (John 16:23).

Upon affirming this Bible verse, I realize that the secret to living life successfully is to ask. I realize that if you want something in life, ask for it and it is yours.

Nevertheless, you must ask in the right way to obtain what you ask for. You must ask with some degree of intensity rather than in a half-assed manner. When you ask for something via prayer, imagine that you already have it as you go about your day.

For example, if you want a brand new, red, smooth-riding Corvette automobile, every time you get into your current, old, beat-up lemon of an automobile, imagine that you are driving the brand-new, red, smooth-riding Corvette. Eventually, your imagination will become reality. Imagination equals creation.

Prayer must always be coupled with imagination for it to work. A prayer without imagination is a prayer without power and faith. If you say a prayer without imagination, you are praying in a half-assed manner. You will get no results or weak ones at best.

You have heard the adage "A picture is worth a thousand words." It is actually worth much more.

Ask, Seek, and Knock

Today I am affirming, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matthew 7:7).

I believe that God gives you whatever you ask for as long as it doesn't transgress His will. God's will can be summarized in the two greatest commandments: love God and love your neighbor.

If you ask God for anything that is within His will, He will answer you immediately in the spiritual realm.

If you want your prayers manifested in the physical realm, you need to display sufficient faith: "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24).

I believe to "seek" means to search for the solution, and to "knock" means to implement the solution.

For example, if you are unemployed, you should

ASK: Ask God for a job and display faith
SEEK: Get off your butt, and do an exhaustive search through the newspapers, Internet, and word of mouth
KNOCK: Upon scheduling a job interview, go to the interview and convince the interviewer that you are the best candidate for the job.

Indeed, the universal problem solver is to ask, seek, and knock.
