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.

Thoughts from Isaiah 10:27

 Thoughts from  Isaiah 10:27   From Isaiah 10:27 we get the popular, but erroneous, sayings in the church, “the anointing breaks the yoke.” This started from the KJV translation of this verse.  Most of the other English translations have translated it as the anointing oil or fat that breaks the yoke.  The Hebrew word used in this verse is semen, pronounced sheh’-men, which means grease, especially liquid (as from the olive, often perfumed; figuratively, richness:-anointing,xfat (things), x fruitful, oil (-ed) ointment, olive, pine. (Strong’s definition). In looking at every verse where semen is used in the Old Testament it is speaking of the oil or the fat itself and not the specific act of anointing.   Now with a proper understanding of what the verse we can see the real meaning and depth of what it is saying to us even now.  To help with this I have included the verse here from 3 different English translations.    I...

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...

I Thought

  I Thought This morning the Pastor was preaching from 2 Kings 5 , NIV , and there were two words that stuck out to me that he read from verse 11 that Naaman said.  “ I thought ”. I sat for a few moments and meditated on how much trouble those two words have caused in my life.  I would say that all of my failures in life involve these two words.  “I thought this was a good idea”, “I thought this is what God said”, “I thought that this would be successful”, etc.  Why do I rely on, EVER, what I think instead of what God knows?  God has given us His Word and it is never wrong and it never fails. I have never failed when I slowed down, humbled myself, searched the scriptures and followed them.  Good ideas are not good enough, experience, especially other people’s experiences aren’t good enough, even a so-called prophetic word isn’t enough on its own.  Only that which can measure up with God’s Word, the Bible , brings su...
