I was watching the news and heard how people practice on "turning their wishes into realit." A few people shared their experiences, and of course, these were good ones. As a believe in God, I know that God has our future planned even before our birth. What will happen will happen, and what will NOT happen will NOT happen. My question is, "Christians, do you actually believe in what these few persons shared? Do you think we can actually get what we wish for by quietly wishing for it in our heart?" Thanks a lot for sharing. Those who are NOT Christians are also welcome to share with me your viewpoints. :D

First of all let me tell you, God creates everyone's future same because he love me the same as he does to you.
So no question for agreeing to this that our future is planned.
Now the question is when god created every one's future same why does a person suffers a lot and why does a person sees hapiness in his life a lot.
Thats because whatever we do, we see and we listen is noticed by god and we are always accounted for that. This makes the ups and downs in our lives.
Then we come to your next question , getting what we wish sometimes ?
Just you must have noticed at many occassions if you want to hit some one or you want to hurt some one, but just before you do it, there something or someone within your heart, which stops you from doing that...and then you dont do it.
This something or someone is almighty who is within you. And when you dont follow his instructions you end up paying something heavy one day.
But when you just follow him..you will one day happen to have a miracle which will surprise you.

It is true that God has a plan for each of us, but it is for each of us to sign on to it. I do not believe in predestination, that is that I have no choice in my future. God ordained that I should be a preacher before the foundation of the earth, but it was my choice to either accept the responsibility or reject it. God does answer all prayers, but he does not necessarily answer them according to the way that we pray. We get what God feels we need, not what we want. We usually want more tha what we can handle; so, for our own protection God limits us. The media is always an inaccurate source of information because the media will tell you what its wants you to know. Even Christian media is prejudice, slanting the news and stories according to whatever agenda it has established. The producers of that program might have interviewed a thousand people before they found enough subjects to satisfy the requirements of what they wanted to get across to the viewing public. Be careful of what you see, hear and read in the media---it is all choreographed propaganda.

When a person wish for something, christian or not, you have to work for it. Make it happen. Otherwise you are just a dreamer. Make your dreams comes true.
A Christian, not just in name. Really follow Jesus Christ. God has a promise. Whatever you ask in Jesus Christ name, your wish even done quietly, will be granted. God is always true to His promise towards His children. Psalm 37:3-4.

No, usually it is the case of getting what will make us really happy, not what we wish for|
Some desires can be really erroneous as is often demonstrated in life, in when they are fulfilled, we find that they do not make us happy, and often bring us tragedy|
But God knows what will truly make us happy because He has a far vaster vision of things than we do|
So if you seem to be heading directly away from your desires and plans, God is actually bringing you to what will truly fulfill you (provided that you are united to Him in keeping the commandments to the best of your ability, and always acting rightly and justly in all things)|

Mav believe God places the desires on your heart that coincide with His plans for you.
God places a desire of adventure in the hearts of those He chooses to go places and share the gospel.
Their wish is to go to see the mountains of South America, God's desire is for them to go there and show God's glory.

I am a Christian who believes in free-will given by Father God. Yes I believe He knows the choices we will make all of our lives but we don't so I believe that Father God only assist those who love Him and obey the commandments of His Son Jesus and especially when believers ask in the name of Jesus. Doubting is also out of the question. It is strictly forbidden.

First I have to disagree in that we are not pre-destined to a particular life of experiences. However, God being omniscient does know what will happen to us and that is used.
'Quietly wishing for something' will not, in my opinion won't produce the results you want.

God's will happens... But it is not like God's will is for some to be in hell... So let's keep things balanced here.
About what you said, I believe God gives us, sometimes, what we wish for... It all depends.

Dear brother our futures are not set by God. Each one of us emabrks on their path in life and chooses how he or she wants to live... nothing is inevitable, everything can be changed... this is the true message of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.... we change our lives by following his commandments and we start that by loving Him and practicing his teachings.... we change ourlives not by wishing to change but by working on our wishes with the grace of God.

What you have heard is related to the New Age movement. I do not believe what they had to say.
If you want to know more about this, look for Christian answers to the New Age web site.
