How Christians can get what they want and why they do not currently have it

[jennifer_bloom]

Matthew 6:33 teaches that when you pursue first the priorities of God, and pursue second to become the type of person that God wants you to be, that he adds all other things to you, what you need, what you desire, what you do not know you need, what you do not know you desire, what you will need tomorrow and also what you will desire tomorrow.

Now if you note, the bible says these things will be added unto you, it does not say and it is added unto you, meaning God is promising a future of satisfied desires and needs and not necessarily a present or past of satisfied desires and needs. Some needs require immediate satisfaction like food and water while other needs can be delayed for a period of time, such as the need for moral purification and spiritual understanding, so it is important to think not only of immediate needs but also tertiary abstracted needs when you consider this verse.

Pursue God’s priority of saving people either physically or emotionally or spiritually and maintaining the quality of life for those already saved or being saved and pursue God’s priority of excellence in conduct and self performance and modesty and humility and devotional worship.

Pursue also God’s desire for you to perfect your heart and mind and soul by seeking and pursuing God and striving with God’s power and aid to trouble shoot problem areas in your personality.

And God promises that one day, all your needs and desires and wants will be satisfied and provided for, so long as you are willing to surrender your needs and desires to God’s throne of worship and His priorities and His principles, and His goodness.

I think it's important to align yourself with God and what he is doing, if your desires are similar to God's, prayers start getting answered. In other words, God I want a brand new bmw, does not happen, God I need a car to start helping underprivileged kids, then a newly new bmw appears at a price you can afford. That's the way it works

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.

I have no interest in following a deity whose best idea to attract our attention is to allow his son to be executed. He has to be one dumb son-of-a-whatever to be so bone stupid. That said, almost all of christian theology is lifted from more successful religions of the time, including virgin birth, the growth-death-rebirth myth of the agrarian cults, walking on water, and other stunts invented to impress the zero-education peasants, There are NO gods, all being invented by Mankind. I will become a believer when ANY god shows up at my door and shakes my hand.

Religion is bogas regardless of what you follow and there are to many contradictions in most books or storys as well as they were stolen from one another, all Religion does is force someone to feel shifty because they won't follow your stupid "gods" and what YOU belive is wrong, especially for people who want to live how they want and belive they should.

What do you mean @yofuknutz

[newboy78]

That is incorrect way of thinking. There are so many Muslim countries and people who are very prosperous and wealthy. God doesn't see which religion you follow, he see how pure a person can be

I love when Christians think they’re the oppressed class. 80% of America is theirs and they still don’t have what they want.
