John
15:7-'If you abide
in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be
done for you.'
God is so worth our time.He is so worth the investment of our lives that we should make every
effort to enter into that place of abiding
in Him. He promised that when we abide in
Him and His words abide in us we can ask of anything and it shall be done.I love the way that Jesus does not give
contingencies when He makes statements like this.He did not go on to say, "Oh but you can only ask for this or that".He left Himself vulnerable to our prayers.I'm glad God does not give us everything that
we ask for.Because sometimes it can be
that people are not praying wisely.But at
the same time, many times our perceptions of Him are not good enough.If our picture of Him is someone stern and
short-tempered we will not believe for any good to come from God in our lives.
God is good. He gives us answers to our prayers
even when they may not be "super-spiritual or perfect". The Lord put it like
this, "If your earthly father gives good gifts....How much more will your heavenly Father?"In other words, if we can think of the very
best earthly father and the good things he does for his children because He
loves them, we need to realize our heavenly Father is far better. He wants us to
give Him all of our trust and for us to know that He is good.To do something good and actually enjoyable for
us is not too far from His hearts desires. Jesus was the exact representation of
the Father.Even Phillip who had been with
Jesus all along had to realize that the works that Jesus was doing, "doing good
and healing all who were oppressed of the devil", was the express heart of
God.
John 14:9-10
Jesus said to him, "Have I been with
you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen
the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I
am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not
speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the
works.
Did you know that signs and wonders come after the proclamation of a prophetic word? We have always waited to hear the the word of the Lord but we never realize as powerful as the prophetic word is, what we are waiting on actually comes after the prophetic utterance is brought forth! Get ready for your miracles to come! God is going to show forth wonders in the heavens and signs on earth! VERY GOOD TEACHING! A MUST FOR THOSE IN THE PROPHETIC! [MORE]

"That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation."
