IF IT'S GOD'S WILL - YOU WILL GET IT

'If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.'

1 John 5:14 

The story is told of three men marooned on a desert island with little hope of being rescued. One day they were walking around the island when one of them picked up an old, tarnished lamp. When he rubbed it, a genie appeared and offered to grant each man one wish. The first man said, 'I wish I was back in my office in Boston.' Puff! He was there. The second man said, 'I wish I was home with my family in London.' Puff! He was there. The third man looked arround and said, 'It's so lonely here, I wish my friends were back with me.' The problem with wishing is that, genies and magic lamps don't exist. But God does! And since He is in control of your life and He's more powerful than any genie, when your wishes become prayers that line up with His will, they become a reality. 'Does the Bible teach that? you ask. Yes; it says: 'THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE IN APPROACHING GOD...if we ask anything according to His will, HE HEARS US. And if we know He hears us - WHATEVER WE ASK - we KNOW that we have what we we asked Him.' (verses 14-15). But even when your wish is in line with God's will, you need one more thing - FAITH. Faith does two things: 

(1) It opens your eyes to see that God's promises are for you personally;

(2) It acts like a magnet, drawing the fulfillment of His promise into your life.

So, what are you wishing for? If it's God's will - YOU CAN HAVE IT.
