Yahweh never promised to give you everything you want. He promised to provide and give you what you need and the desires of your heart that is conformed to His will. The apostle Paul had an infirmity that Yahweh did not heal in spite of being asked. Paul was told 'no'. King David, who Yahweh said was a man after His own heart, was told 'no' when he asked that the child he had with Bathsheba when he committed adultery with her would live. That child died.
In spite of this, like the false prophets of ba-al, those that hold to the apostate heretical word-faith movement today claim that Yahweh will give them whatever riches they ask of Him often sowing "seed faith" money into the heretical ministries that teach this being told they would get "a hundred fold in return". Some people have believed the heretics that make this claim and have cashed out their retirement in order to donate to these wolf scam artists.
The false prophets of ba-al thought that if they begged enough and cut themselves that ba-al would give them whatever they asked of him. They were deluded into thinking that ba-al - their "name it and claim it" false "god" would do as they asked.
1 Kings 18
14 Do you really want me to tell Ahab you're here? He will kill me!
15 Elijah said, "I'm a servant of the living LORD All-Powerful, and I swear in his name that I will meet with Ahab today."
16 Obadiah left and told Ahab where to find Elijah. Ahab went to meet Elijah,
17 and when he saw him, Ahab shouted, "There you are, the biggest troublemaker in Israel!"
18 Elijah answered: You're the troublemaker--not me! You and your family have disobeyed the LORD's commands by worshiping Baal.
19 Call together everyone from Israel and have them meet me on Mount Carmel. Be sure to bring along the four hundred fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel's table.
20 Ahab got everyone together, then they went to meet Elijah on Mount Carmel.
21 Elijah stood in front of them and said, "How much longer will you try to have things both ways? If the LORD is God, worship him! But if Baal is God, worship him!" The people did not say a word.
22 Then Elijah continued: I am the LORD's only prophet, but Baal has four hundred fifty prophets.
23 Bring us two bulls. Baal's prophets can take one of them, kill it, and cut it into pieces. Then they can put the meat on the wood without lighting the fire. I will do the same thing with the other bull, and I won't light a fire under it either.
24 The prophets of Baal will pray to their god, and I will pray to the LORD. The one who answers by starting the fire is God. "That's a good idea," everyone agreed.
25 Elijah said to Baal's prophets, "There are more of you, so you go first. Pick out a bull and get it ready, but don't light the fire. Then pray to your god."
26 They chose their bull, then they got it ready and prayed to Baal all morning, asking him to start the fire. They danced around the altar and shouted, "Answer us, Baal!" But there was no answer.
27 At noon, Elijah began making fun of them. "Pray louder!" he said. "Baal must be a god. Maybe he's day-dreaming or using the toilet or traveling somewhere. Or maybe he's asleep, and you have to wake him up."
28 The prophets kept shouting louder and louder, and they cut themselves with swords and knives until they were bleeding. This was the way they worshiped,
29 and they kept it up all afternoon. But there was no answer of any kind.
30 Elijah told everyone to gather around him while he repaired the LORD's altar.
31 Then he used twelve stones to build an altar in honor of the LORD. Each stone stood for one of the tribes of Israel, which was the name the LORD had given to their ancestor Jacob. Elijah dug a ditch around the altar, large enough to hold about thirteen quarts.
32 (SEE 18:31)
33 He placed the wood on the altar, then they cut the bull into pieces and laid the meat on the wood. He told the people, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it over the meat and the wood." After they did this,
34 he told them to do it two more times. They did exactly as he said
35 until finally, the water ran down the altar and filled the ditch.
36 When it was time for the evening sacrifice, Elijah prayed: Our LORD, you are the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Now, prove that you are the God of this nation, and that I, your servant, have done this at your command.
37 Please answer me, so these people will know that you are the LORD God, and that you will turn their hearts back to you.
38 The LORD immediately sent fire, and it burned up the sacrifice, the wood, and the stones. It scorched the ground everywhere around the altar and dried up every drop of water in the ditch.
39 When the crowd saw what had happened, they all bowed down and shouted, "The LORD is God! The LORD is God!"
40 Just then, Elijah said, "Grab the prophets of Baal! Don't let any of them get away." So the people captured the prophets and took them to Kishon River, where Elijah killed every one of them.
Many people do not want to worship Yahweh and obey what He says. They only want what others claim He has to offer: wealth, prosperity, and a good life. These people are the same as most who followed Yeshua when He was here on earth - they wanted healings, blessings, free food, and a hope that He would take over the government and relieve their hardships right then. Yeshua knew most were following Him for material goods and comforts and that is why He spoke in parables - so they would not understand and be punished more severely for their unbelief.
Matthew 13
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Reference in Isaiah:
Isaiah 6There are so many who claim to be Christian yet they have no knowledge of what the bible says or who Yahweh and Yeshua are. All they know is what their false shepherds - their heretical pastors - teach them. Then someone posts on facebook the "bible has changed magically" and claim it is the "mandela effect" they claim is caused by cern (or other such nonsense) because the verses they remember from the bible (from their heretical pastors misquoting it) is different from what the bible says. Yahweh protects His word and the wolves, deceivers, manipulators, change agents, and demons that are trying to discredit it in the last days will use every trick they can to make people believe it says something it doesn't. I have posted many examples of "pastors" that change the bible and add to it to prove their points and the bible has never said what they claim it does. It does not take much on youtube or facebook (glad I'm not there and Yahweh protected me from such nonsense) to tickle the ears of people that are so famined for truth they will grasp at any ear tickling silliness they can (and STILL ignore reading the bible for their selves)
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
How can someone claim to be a Christian and then reject what the bible says while accepting whatever a false teacher says it says??? Most people who ignore the bible and follow after someone that twists the bible and teaches lies are not saved - they are following a false Jesus. Some may possibly be saved as the Holy Spirit teaches them and they reject the false teachings although most are not - these people will be very surprised when Messiah Yeshua tells them to "go away from me, I never knew you". In order to be a True Christian, you must follow Messiah Yeshua and to do that, You MUST know how HE wants to be followed and what He says - not what someone else says He says. To do this, you MUST read the bible for yourself (if at all possible - everyone reading this does have access to a bible - some in other countries do not - and Yeshua will be sure they will learn about Him if they seek Him)
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) :John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
