But What Do You Want?

Imagine with me you own a magic lamp with a genie and he says you can have as many wishes as you want. Do you know what you would wish for?

Do you know what you want for Christmas? Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? Do you know where you would like to travel? Do you know what would make you happy?

I can guarantee you that after expressing your wants to the first few questions you will quickly run out of ideas for what you want. Try making a wish list. After the first six wishes you will find it difficult to come up with a new wish, the ones you really want.

Do you really know what you want?

What you thought you wanted in the past has changed and what you think you want for future may also change….you can only express what you want in the “Now.”

How do you do it?

Before you begin, give thanks for what you have right now. This opens you up for creating something new. Gratitude is the most powerful state of being in the now.

Start with the basic desires, clear air, food, water, shelter, health and the feelings of being secure. Then there are the ones you so often forget; love, joy, peace and harmony.

It is at this point when everything changes.

This is when it gets confusing. Why?

This is the moment when your desires are controlled by your spirit or your ego. If you do not know the difference then you must go back to “Go” and you do not collect $200.00.

Yes, life is like a game. How you play the game determines if you get what you really want. Consciously or un-consciously you decide.

Your ego (the carnal mind, Rom 8:7) will lead you down a long path of wishes and desires and you will never find what you are looking for. You will end up frustrated and confused.

Your spirit is connected to your higher self and the Spirit of God. It will guide you toward what you really want. It knows your mission in life, your agreements; it knows your true desires and the Spirit of God will supply you with all you need to accomplish this.

Great joy and satisfaction are your reward for following the Spirit of God.

“Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for them that love Him. But God has revealed them unto us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 1 Cor. 2:9-10
