I wish I had that job.
I wish I had that house.
I wish I didn’t have to go through this treatment.
I wish things would be easier.
I wish I had that much.

A lot of times we wish for things when God has given us the ability to ask and decree for what we desire. Wishing we had something will never get us what we want. It’s only by following the instructions in God’s word we are guaranteed to receive what we desire.

God’s word tells us whatever we desire when we pray, believe that we’ve received it and we shall have it (Mark 11:24). It also says we’ll receive whatever we ask in the name of Jesus (John 16:23). Matthew 18:18 says whatever we permit or forbid on earth shall be permitted or forbidden in heaven.

As we can see through the scriptures, it’s totally up to us. When we use our faith and get God involved with our desires, they will come to pass. If not, we’ll be wishing forever.

John 16:23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
