Dare to make ambitious prayers and we will see God doing great things in our life
Do you know that God's dreams for our life are far greater than ours?
God wants us to do extraordinary things. But for that, we must learn to make bold prayers.
Some people think that asking God too much is an egotistical or vain attitude.
Others say that if God wants to bless them, He will do it without them asking Him.
But that's not how it works: God expects us to ask Him. And the Bible tells us that if we receive nothing, it is because we ask nothing.
James 4:2
You covet, and you do not possess; you are murderous and envious, and you can not get; you have quarrels and struggles, and you do not possess, because you do not ask.
So if you do not claim God's favor, you will not live it. Asking God for something will activate your faith, and He will respond to what you ask of Him. Our mistake is too often to make small prayers. Let's change that and be bold! Dare to ask!
Matthew 9:29
And he touched their eyes, and said, Let it be done according to your faith.
This verse tells us that if we ask little, we will receive little. On the other hand, if we learn to make bold prayers and expect to receive a lot, it will allow God to do great things in our lives.
Asking is not a selfish act
Maybe some of you have dreams deep inside of them, but they never asked God to realize them. You pray for God to bless those around you, but you do not do it for you. It is a mistake! You must pray for yourself!
It is not bad to pray for oneself. It is not unhealthy because God is waiting for us to ask Him what we want.
Psalms 2:8
Ask me, and I will give you the nations for an inheritance, the ends of the earth for possession;
"Nations for heritage" is "not" nothing! In other words, God is ready to give us great things, provided we ask Him.
God has only one desire: that we ask Him to fulfill our hidden dreams, that we ask Him to fulfill the incredible promises He has made to us, that we ask Him to do something that seems impossible to us.
Some people pray a lot for others, but very little for them. This attitude is not bad in itself, it is just incomplete. Do not forget to ask God's favor for your life. Every morning, getting up, having thanked God for all that He has already done, dare to ask Him for his blessings:
"Lord, I ask you to spread your kindness in my day ... I ask you to open my doors and give me opportunities ."
"Lord, I am not only asking you to provide for my needs at least, but I am asking for abundance so that I may bless those around me! "
He invites you to ask for great things. And if you already ask a lot, it makes you claim even more! Do you think that an abundant and uplifting life is only for others? The Bible tells us that God puts us in the head and not the tail, He made this promise for all his children, including you.
We must dare to ask for great things! The more important we ask, the more our faith grows. God is not the God of small prayers or small expectations, he is the Almighty God! That of happiness, of full health, of abundance. Do not just make small prayers with a little faith, it's not the image of God. Let's see big because God sees big.
We must find our flame, and again ask God to fulfill all our desires and dreams that we have set aside (but it should be in accordance with the will of God for our lives).In your moments of intimacy with God, dare to speak to Him about your greatest dreams. It may seem unfeasible, but it does not matter. Be honest with God, and dare to ask Him. Approach Him and tell him about your plans. God has placed extraordinary projects in your heart, do not smother them. On the contrary, keep them safe and claim them. You must regain hope because God can always fulfill them.
Dare to ask impossible things from men. If we can fulfill our dreams by our own strength, what does our faith serve us with? What is the use of addressing God? But we have with us the God who can do anything, and it would be a mistake to limit His power by a lack of faith or expectations that are not ambitious enough.
It is a beautiful project to want to buy a house. But do not ask for one. Ask for more, and one day maybe you can help someone who has no place to sleep. God sees great, He wants to bless you abundantly so that you, in turn, may bless your surroundings.
We must not ask only what we need to live happily, but we must seek more blessings so we can share them with us. Then God will answer us so that we can help the people in need, that we can take care of people who need help to live.
God wants to pour out his blessings into our lives
Ephesians 3:20
But to him who is able to do, by the power that works in us, infinitely beyond all that we ask or think,
This verse is great! God can even give us more than we ask. But my question is: Are you asking? If so, do you ask enough? Do you use your faith to activate the power of God?
Are we asking enough, or are we still praying for survival?
Let us dare to pray with boldness to release the divine potential that is in us, to see our dreams fulfilled, in order to live the abundance of God.
Many people lack audacity for their lives and this prevents them from becoming those heroes that God wants them to be. When they look to Moses, they say, " Moses, what a great man! But I will never be able to become like him, I do not have enough capacities; God does not wait for me to do great things. "
This may surprise you, but you are a priority for God: He looks forward to doing you good and blessing you. He is eager to get you into the extraordinary destiny He has for you, and make you a hero. God does not want you to have a life of "survival", but your next day is extraordinary. He can not wait to please you. He is like a father who wants the best for his child. He wants to please you. And every time you rejoice in something you have received, you make God happy.
God has so many blessings in store for our life ... But how many are not realized, simply for lack of audacity? How often do we not receive God's blessing because we do not claim it? Or because we are not looking for it?
We must seek the blessing of God: " Does God want to open doors for me through this meeting? Does God want to open a future for me through this promotion? ". These are questions we must ask ourselves in order to see the hand of God acting in our lives.
It is in God's will to bless us, to heal us, to give us opportunities.
The good news is that it's never too late. God can always pour out his blessings into your lives. He tells you today: " I can still accomplish it! Ask and you will receive! ". If you have the impression that your life has no future, I would like to tell you that Jesus Christ is life. With Him, we make a new start. If you are stopped, God allows you to restart.
Past disappointments discourage us and make us think that our life has no great future. But God does not look at those, they are part of the past. God looks to the future and tells us that today is a new beginning. He tells us to leave behind us the disappointments because today, with Christ in our life, we live a new day.
Do not think it's too late and your life is wasted. God still has a lot of blessing in store for you, and you still have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Cling to our dreams
To see our dreams come true, we must persevere and not be discouraged. Before seeing a project succeed, there are always periods of struggle and moments when we have the impression that things are not moving forward, that's normal. But do not give up. If we let discouragement invade us, then we give up. If the situation we are living in is blocked, do not despair; but wait, confident, that God will release his blessings.
Refuse the affliction
Some people may have the desire to evolve socially; others, that of undertaking a great work. But the disappointments of life have discouraged them to the point of thinking that ultimately, nothing can change.
Trials and difficulties take away our enthusiasm and lead us to " pray for survival, " prayers that are not daring.
In the bible Jabez was a man whose name was a curse to him because t meant pain but he was able to change that
1Chronicles 4:10
Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "If you bless me and extend my bounds, if your hand is with me, and you keep me from evil so that I am not in pain." ....And God granted what he asked.
How bold is this prayer! Despite what he lived, despite the weight of his name he had worn since childhood, he asked to be blessed abundantly. While He was destined to live a life of pain and sorrow, He refused this fate. He knew that he was a child of God and that his destiny was to be blessed. He knew that his God was all-powerful and that he could change all things.
So he decided to be a victor, not a victim. At present, many people place themselves in this position of the victim. Faced with a failure, they give up. They complain that they do not deserve what happens to them and do not do anything about it. As they go along, they adapt and learn to live in failure. Faced with the disease, they stop fighting and finally agree to live sick. But God is not the God of failure or sickness. Jesus came to free us from all our sufferings.
God does not call us to submit to sickness or disappointment. But how many of us give up? We end up accepting illness, disappointment, failure, and learning to live with it. But Jabez did not submit to the name he wore, he did not accept failure in his life. He rejected all this and asked God to bless him abundantly because he knew that God could transform all situations. And God responded favorably to his faith since it is said in the following verse 10: " God granted what he asked ."
God did not leave Jabez in his affliction! He saw his faith and delivered him!
If you think that God wants you to stay in sickness, that you go from disappointment to disappointment, that you do not evolve ... You are completely wrong. God wants for you a wonderful life, fulfilled, rich in blessings. But do you like Jabez ask God to bless you?
If we make ambitious prayers, then we will see God doing great things in our life. It is not too late to live the blessing of God, there is no age to be happy. We must not be a spectator of life and suffer it; God calls us to be an actor of our destiny. Let's be bold as Jabez was. He refused the mediocrity in which his name predestined him to dare to claim the goodness of God and thus change his destiny.
What does it matter: if you dare to ask, the rest of your life can be much better than the beginning. For that, you must look before you, where God is waiting for you. Leave behind the failures, the disappointments, but ask again.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and they will give you; search, and you will find; knock, and we will open you.
Dare to ask! Make bold prayers! God is waiting for this to pour into your life all the blessings that He has in store for you.
