are Christians allowed to make wishes?

[iluvthejonasbrotherssomuch]

like monthly wishes or whatever? because on twitter #octoberwish trends, and i was wondering if that's against the religion since it's kinda like your wishing on a power higher that isn't God...or is God the higher power you wish to? and are you allowed to wish to him or is that just kinda like praying? lol

[FROG E]

No....Christians do not make wishes

You can throw a coin into a fountain but it is unrealistic to think any more than the money goes to charity or something.

[Drakestone]

Yes, but they call them prayers

[Rodney]

David used the word wish but it truly was a word of the arabs/muslims they also being the nation which speaks that genies{{ what we call demons, can grant wishes, but also wants your life after ward}} So know have Hope, not wishes...for proof of why the holy one came and stood so strong for us...Go to your yahoo search engine type in "Word in Classic Painting" and the websites that pop up the top sites which have the same phrase in their listing "Word in Classic painting" Enter in and therein the mystery of our Lord and the Amazing Epic Mission He took upon Himself and its now Amazing conclusion is exposed with in the pages of the Epic gathering website of the increased knowledge of God of His Word creation called science and of His increased knowledge of theology have come together for this Epic gathering of the end time meek inheritors which can sin the WHAT? NEW SONG Rev:14:3...it has begun must be of an age of understanding to enter this gathering website...{{He literally swallowed the infection from His body by way of an internal battle of Life against the devourer/death/bacterial filth called satan proof on the site, read the entire site for complete understanding}}

Praying and wishing are not the same and wishing will get nothing. But praying gets one much.

Know this about prayer, it is a three step process. God likes the number three.
1. We pray or ask God for help/something. In Jesus' name.
2. God prepares us to handle this so once we get it we will not fail with it. So God teaches us how to handle what we ask for. God is good, so he prepares us and then gives it. How great is that?
3. God gives us what we asked for.
Many ask and while #2 is happening they give up. So they do not get to #3.
So try praying again, now that you know how it works. And the more you ask for, the longer it usually takes to prepare you for it.

Only God can reveal the meaning of his word, the bible. So if we want to know the truth we must ask God to show us meanings and give us understanding or we just guess. Before we start reading the bible ask God for knowledge and understanding, then we can know and understand it as God gives it to us. The bible is Martian to us, so read it this way. God has to help us understand or we can not understand much of it.
If I wanted to know something written is Martian, I would go to someone that speaks Martian and ask them what it means so that I may understand what it says. Or I could look at it, not understanding, then say it means this or that: not knowing Martian, I could try to make it mean whatever i wanted, though this would not be the right interpretation.
Many do this with the bible, it is God's word and only God can tell us the meaning of things and give us understanding too. Or we just guess or make something up. So go to God and ask him directly for the truth of his word. And God can do this through any bible, not just some but all.
hope this helps and take care.

Doing these things will blow the roof off of your situation, you will not longer be confined in it.
Pray, wait and receive the best from God. Pray, read and learn from God. Notice how everything starts with prayer and ends with God.
bless you.

Christians can make wishes. But prayers is much more effective.

Wishing is fun. It's like playing the lottery or going to a movie. If you really believe that something will grant the wish, then that is a problem.

Look to God to meet your needs.

Superstitions like wishing, knocking on wood, etc. are all against God. If we need something, God will give it to us. Simple as that (although people get need and want mixed up).
If you need something, you pray. If it's God's will, He'll give it to you.

[Zodiark]

anybody's allowed to make wishes
