Jesus forgave us unconditionally, which means we can't earn or work for it and the only thing required to receive it is to believe. He isn't going to buy your love and adoration past the point where He died on the cross. His only payment that will ever be made for your salvation was to take your punishment for your sin when He died on the cross. If you can't accept that, then you won't be going to Heaven when He returns. If He chooses after that to bless you with material things, that is a separate issue and has nothing to do with salvation. If everyone was promised a record company if they believed in Him, there wouldn't be starving children all across the world. Everyone would believe and have a record company to pay their bills. No one would die of starvation because they would discover Jesus was a large ATM in Heaven who will give them everything they want any time they want it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Why don't you just pray to find His perfect will for your life? In Matthew 6:33, when the disciples were worried about their needs being met, Jesus told them how God provides food for the birds as well as beautiful clothes for the flowers, He said, "Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you". The only promise He makes is that you will have your needs met. Notice it doesn't say "wants met". What you want may not be the best thing for you and since He has our best interests at His heart, He might not give you your wants because they are bad for you. I would love to have a large car with a driver to take me around every where, but I don't have the economic means to pay for it. Therefore, I have to be content with my economy car that is easier for me to handle financially. It all is a matter of trust. Do you really believe and trust that He will take care of you? Then get your priorities straightened out and He will.

Forming your own label is not difficult.
Lot's of people do it nowadays.
You probably already have been helped in this regard.
Say a prayer of Gratitude.

sorry doesn't work that way
James 4:3-4
3)Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4)Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Sorry to burst your bubble but just because you pray doesn't mean Jesus is going to give you your every wish and whim.

Somehow if the almighty won't bless Starvin' Marvin' down in Ethiopia with a bowl of rice I don't think your chances are very good.

Supposedly God has "a plan" for everything in the universe. With this in mind, do you truly believe that God would alter that plan just to accomodate your paultry desires?

If you walk with Jesus daily, then all things are possible through him. But ask for the right reasons.

The Lord says ask and you will receive, knock and the door will be opened. He wants you to ask in Faith (as if you've already received it) and it shall be given to you. God Bless!!

Catholics do have faith that Christ died for our sins and rose back to ascend into heaven. They take communion in remembrance of what Christ did for them. additionally observe that Catholicism is the 1st Christian faith and all different denominations are branched off of the Catholic church. i'm not Catholic, yet I even have distinctive admire for the church.
