JESUS IS WITH US AND ANSWER US ACCORDING TO HIS WILL
And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him. —II Samuel 5:10
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. —I John 14:12-14
Just as the Lord God Almighty was with David, so He is with us. Jesus said, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). His Word also tells us— “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6). Yes, our Lord is with us and—
- Those who believe in Jesus will do the works Jesus had been doing
- Those who believe in Jesus will do greater things than Jesus did
- Jesus will do whatever we ask in His Name
- Jesus will do anything we ask in His Name
So…
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” —I John 5:13-15
We can be sure, as followers/disciples of Jesus—
- We can have confidence in approaching God
- We can ask anything according to His Name
- We can be sure He hears us
- We can know we have what we asked of Him
We know His will is according to His Word. So let us ask Him, speak to Him according to what He has already said. Yes, Dear Father, may this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsQmsEE_2-s&list=RDPsQmsEE_2-s&start_radio=1
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up…. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” —Luke 18:1, 8
And here’s an opportunity to put into practice this truth…
