Not your Wish List

Eph 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

We have ALL spiritual blessings stored up for us in Heaven. How can we access it? How can we get it down on earth? How can I make an earthly deposit if you please? The answer is through prayer. This is how Jesus taught us to pray: Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. In other words, bring down on earth what’s stored in Heaven. But to do this deposit, you need a pin code. The pin code is his will. Your WILL be done on earth as it is in Heaven. So two things needs to be in place for us to access the Heavenly blessing. 1) We must pray. 2) The prayer must be according to his will.

Many use 1 John 5: 15 to claim their blessing. “And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

So, WHATEVER you ask, you KNOW you will have the petition you DESIRE. Its just ”name it and claim it.” They say things like; just envision your desire. If it’s a Mercedes, don’t only ask for a Mercedes, but tell him what color, and what engine you want. Just be specific, because you KNOW already by faith he will give it to you. But as so many false doctrines, they take scriptures out of context. God is not talking about our wish list. God is not talking about our carnal desires. When we read the verse prior to v 15 we get the correct picture. ”And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

So we have all Spiritual blessings stored up for us. We access it through biblical prayer which is according to HIS will. Not your wish list.
