I want it all.

“I want it all.”

I was, for lack of a better word, vehement. Frustrated at not seeing the miraculous, I started the conversation with, “I know You can strike me dead, but I’m not afraid of You.  You punished Jesus for me, and Your goodness has been my experience of Your mercy and grace. Your Word and Your faithfulness have been my guarantee.  You said “Ask and it will be given” so God, here goes.

“I want my life to show every promise You ever made, because You said, “In Christ, all the promises of God are Yes and Amen.”  I’m in Christ.

I want the peace that passes (human) understanding, because that’s what Jesus said He would leave me with.

I want You to pour healing into every person I touch, because You said You live in me and I will touch sick people and they will be well.

I want the deaf to hear, the blind to see, the withered arm to work, body parts to be replaced, the hungry to be fed, people’s faith not to fail, and demons to run in fear, because You said I would do what Jesus did.  So far, I’m running way behind in this area, God.  We know that.  I’m willing.  Let’s do it.  

I want the wealth of the sinner that is reserved for the righteous to pour into my finances so I can pour them into Your kingdom.  You made me righteous, so You qualified me for the wealth.  You said You give me the power to get wealth and add no sorrow to it.  You said people would thank You because of my giving.  I want so much money to give that people can only say, “Surely God has done that. In Your kingdom, I don’t need cash.  In this kingdom You have me living in, right use of cash brings You glory and sets people free from the oppression of poverty.  I want more money than I can ever use for myself.

I want to demonstrate Your love so powerfully that when they look at me, people don’t see a gray haired woman with no beauty, but that they see the love of God who surpasses beauty.

I want You.  And all that You gave.  I want Jesus and all that He bought. I want the knowledge of Your word to fill me.

  So, Holy Father, You said ask.  There it is.  I want it all.
