How to get everything you pray for.

 How to get everything you pray for.

1 John 5:14
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
We can have confidence that He hears us when we ask anything that is according to His will. Sadly too many Christians believe that the will of God is difficult to know or find as if He has hidden it from us and only a few special few ever obtain such knowledge. The truth is that God’s will has been given to all who will receive it. Anyone can find and know it. He put it clearly in His Word. So if we will read the Word of God and meditate on it day and night we would see exactly every time what God’s will is.
BUT WAIT! There’s more.
1 John 5:15
And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
See this? Knowing that He hears us then we know we have what we ask. Knowing His will and praying in agreement with that will leads us to receiving that will into our lives. So in praying this way we will get everything and anything that we pray for.
The key here is to FIRST know what God’s will is because this is where our confidence is built. Know God’s will and then pray according to His will WITH confidence that He hears you and because He hears you then you will have what you pray. Regardless of the situation, the impossibility of your ask OR how long it takes we can and should have confidence that we are receiving. Really our confidence should be such that it is a done deal. Time, circumstances or other people’s opinion doesn’t matter because we know, according to these verses that it is ours.
Mark 11:23-24 and James 1:6-7. Are companion verses.

The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence

  The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence I was reading an account of a preacher’s experience that I had previous heard him describe before in a sermon. Thought the account was familiar to me this time though it hit different.   The experience was during a time he had spent months desiring and seeking more of God and His Presence.  There were two statements that the preacher made from this account that the Lord highlighted for me.  The first was “My request for more of God carried a price” and the second was from his cry to the Lord “I must have more of You at any cost!”. These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them.  In fact, they had inspired me.  This time, though, was different.  This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear.  No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

Fragrance

  Fragrance   2 Corinthians 2:14-15   Now thanks  be  to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  15  For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.   Today in a prayer meeting someone mentioned the word fragrance as they were praying. The first thing that popped into my head was of a college student who had come into my store yesterday.  This young man had gone a little overboard, in my opinion, with his cologne.  It was so strong that I could smell him coming.  I also have customers who come in to the store with a different type of fragrance, one that isn’t pleasant.  In both cases you can smell them before you even see them and also the fragrance sticks around for a while after they leave.  The point of this being that fragrance influences and ...
