John 15:7 NIV
[7] If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
When Jesus said that if we abide in Him and His Word abides in us, we can ask anything we wish, and it will be done for us, that was a real and achievable promise.
Because make no mistake, Jesus’ word never lies, nor will it return void, nor empty, nor will any of His great promises fail. So, when we don’t receive our prayer requests for things already promised to us such as healing, favor, etc. could it be because we don’t abide in Christ?
How many of us make Christ our main priority? How many of us can truly say that we abide in Christ and in His Word? God doesn’t owe us anything, but He does give us promises that will never fail. People tend to get offended when you say these kinds of things, but I think it’s more offensive to expect things from God that you don’t deserve without giving God anything. He doesn’t ask for much, just for us to follow Him. Faith is an action word. It requires an action in order for it work. Faith without action is dead.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Abide In His Word.
