Prayer

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
John 15:7

Prayer
In today's Bible verse, the Lord Jesus gives two conditions for our prayers to be answered:

1. "If you abide in Me ..." By this He means a life of conscious and constant dependence on Him. It is about maintaining regular prayer contact with Him and asking Him what He wants from us. This closeness to the Lord Jesus in everyday life requires that we judge ourselves so that our relationship with Him is not clouded by sin.

If we stay close to the Lord and live in dependence on Him, He will shape our thoughts and affections. As a result, we will pray according to His mind. Such prayers that are according to the will of the Lord Jesus, God will answer.

2. "If My words abide in you ..." The words of the Lord Jesus are found in the Bible. By reading or listening to the Word of God, we learn what He has to say to us. But this is not enough. Our Lord also asks us to affirm His words, to take them into our hearts and to follow them in our lives.

When the Word of God abides in us in this way, it influences our thinking, speaking and behaviour. The effect of this is that our requests are in line with God's will and He hears them.

Today's reading: Numbers 33:1-37, Matthew 17:9-13

A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
