"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
"Delight thyself also in the Lord: and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:4
When we love Jesus, our Father will give us whatsoever things we desire. Hallelujah! Now stop and read that out loud again, what things soever, (that’s in red, Jesus said it) that we desire, when we pray we are to believe that we will receive from our Father and we shall have them! Remember that faith believes that God is and that He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him! Also remember that we have our faith Authored and Finished by Jesus Himself. We are empowered with the strength of Christ to believe that God is willing and able to perform what He has spoken! We are powerful, able, and willing through the Anointing of our Father to delight ourselves in the Lord and He will give us the desires of our hearts! That’s just good stuff! That’s the Truth of God and the Truth of God sets us free!
You ever hear someone say that our Father will only provide our needs, not our wants. I have heard that so many times and I just shout for joy, because I know that our Father is not just a provider of our needs, He goes right on over to our wants and desires. He is a God of abundance and great mercies. He is a Father Who wants His offspring to greatly prosper in every area of our lives: Spirit, Soul, and Body! Our Father sent the best He had, Jesus, so that we could have it all through Him. Jesus paid a high price for you and I.

Our being blessed isn't dependent upon our ability to understand all that Jesus has done for us and it doesn’t matter whether we feel worthy enough to receive it. Our Father's Truth is His Truth and Jesus said whatsoever things we desire! We don’t look to ourselves for this faith. Man on his own has no ability to accept and believe this, we look unto Jesus for the needed faith to live and walk in this awesome Truth.
"Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the God." Hebrews 12:2
We have Jesus living within us to lead us in the paths of righteousness and we have Jesus within us to Author and Finish whatever faith is needed to realize and to live in the fullness of our Father's Truths!
When we hear such verses the first thing that satan will do is attempt to make us question our motives. I have shared these verses before and have had people ask me, "you mean I can desire for someone to be killed and God will do it?" I always marvel at such bizarre responses. When we hear such foolishness, we should immediately ask the person if they would like to be saved? When our Father leads us in studying these types of verses we should get excited. Because the Holy Spirit has caused the desire of our hearts to be to please our Father, to walk in the fullness of His wisdom, to walk in the power of His Spirit, to witness His truths, to provide for our families, to love and provide for our enemies, to allow Him to use us to heal the sick, to comfort the hurting, and to give specific prophesies to edify and grow the church. When we hear these scriptures our first thought, or any thought, is never to do harm to someone or to commit a despicable act, our thoughts are to allow our Father to work mightily through us. These are the desires of our hearts, because our Father has given us new hearts, when we called and chosen to believe in Him, Ezekiel 36:26.
“For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guides and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 Amplified Bible.

People who have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as the Lord of their lives and who are saved, hold the thoughts and purposes of Christ in our Anointed minds. The thoughts and purposes of the minds that we now have, believe for what our Father desires and we want and hope for what our Father wants. We are born again, we can’t help it, we are born from God’s Incorruptible Seed, the old things of our lives are passed away and behold all things are become new unto us! We now have Jesus Authoring and Finishing our faith, and believe me, we can’t go and ask our Father for anything and actually believe we can have it without Jesus being the One within us, telling us to ask for it! And Jesus isn’t going to ask for something that is contrary to God’s thoughts, intents, and purposes. So we may have full peace and joy in allowing Jesus to empower us to not only ask God for whatsoever things we desire, but we also are able to delight in asking!
“If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.” John 15:7-8 Do you see why our Father has said that we are able to delight in asking? Because when we bear much fruit it glorifies our Father. Jesus fully allowed God to produce much fruit through Him and so should we. How could we do anything less, Jesus now Authors our faith. His Word now abides within us and we now abide in Him, so don’t you think that if all of these things are true, we would look and act like Jesus?
If someone’s first response is a negative one, that’s all right, it will clearly show us that the person hearing the Truth needs to hear it. This person may be in church, they may go to church more then we ever will. They may even be in a position of leadership within a church. But if the response given by an individual when these scriptures are shared with them is to commit a sinful act, we will know where their heart is. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. “Either make the tree good, and his fruit is good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil of his treasure bringeth forth evil things.” Matthew 12:33-35
Remember this fact, we did not write these Truth’s, our Father did. God also wrote them in such a way that it would take faith to hear and to accept them. "And the disciples came and said unto Him, why speakest Thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." Matthew 13:10-12

What Jesus is saying here is that those of us who are truly saved have the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost shall give us the needed understanding and we shall grow. Jesus also shows us that those who are not saved, even though they hear, will not understand. Remember in John 14:26, Jesus said that He was sending the Holy Ghost to act on His behalf. The Disciples had Jesus right there with them and we now have the Holy Ghost right here living permanently within us. Which according to Jesus is a great and powerful thing, a thing to be desired and cherished!. "However, I am telling you nothing but the Truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come unto you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]." John 16:7 Amplified
If someone wishes to disagree with God’s Word, they are disagreeing with God, not us. It’s just for us to share our Father's Word with the world; God keeps the responsibility for Himself to make His Word grow. Remember too, that all who hear God's Word may not prosper because of it.

"Listen to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches it from his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who receives the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the Word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the Word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among thorns is the man who hears the Word, but the worries of life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the Word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." Matthew 13:18-23 NIV
Even though all may not prosper, it is our desire and our prayer that all will. God's Word does not fall void to the earth. The Anointing of Christ within us loves those who disagree with our Father and it empowers us to pray for them, and to intercede for them. If they won’t listen to us, pray that our Father sends someone who they will listen to. Think about our Father and how He acts, how many prophets did He send in the Old Testament, how many times has He forgiven us, and does He ever change, does His Word ever change? That’s what we are born of and that is Who is alive within us!
Jesus taught us to ask for whatsoever things we desire, and He told us that by receiving and producing much fruit through our asking, actually glorifies our Father. This is God’s will for our lives. He wants to provide for us and He wants to give us more than just our needs, He wants to give us our wants. The Lord is our Shepherd; we shall not want, Psalm 23:1. He gave us the Holy Ghost to empower us and He gave us Jesus to Author and Finish our faith. Our Father gave us a new heart that will allow us to walk in His will, and He gave us the mind of Christ. Our Father will never leave us or forsake us, and He has allowed us to actually be one with Him through Jesus our Lord and our Savior. Now let me ask you this again, if all of these verses are true, don’t you think we will resemble Jesus, Who is the Word of God manifested in the flesh? Jesus asked and received and you can’t tell me that asking for water to be turned into wine was a need, that was definitely a want! “Not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;” Ephesians 6:6 It’s God’s will for our wants as well as our needs to be realized through Him!
Rejoice this day, because today is the day of salvation, and today our Father will give us the desires of our hearts because we have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to delight ourselves in Him! Love those who love you. Love those who hate you. Love those in authority. Pray for the governments of this world and our leaders. Allow the Love you were born from to consume you. You are the child of God, and God is Love, so you are Love. Delight yourself in Love and you will be given the desires of your heart!
