Abide In Christ, And Ask What You Will

"If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7
Jesus tells us that if we abide in Him and if we allow the Word of God to abide in us, than we will be able to ask what we will and it shall be done for us. Stop and think of the grandeur and glory of this Truth, "ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." This Truth is so powerful and so far beyond what is typically thought by religion, that without Jesus and God’s Word abiding in us and us abiding in Them, we would think that this verse was a misquote or mistranslation. But it’s not, and we haven’t been given a spirit of fear that will shy away from this Truth. “For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 We have been strengthened with Christ and through the Anointing of God, we are able to know and accept all that Jesus has provided for us. And we are able to have peace and joy in believing and accepting it, as we abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit that is within us! “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13

We know the Truth and the Truth that has set us free is that we are now one with God. Just as our hearts are one with our bodies, just as our hands, and eyes, and ears are one with our bodies, through Christ we too are now one with God. We are now members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bone, Ephesians 5:30! So ask yourself this, how does the heart know what to ask for? How does our hands, or legs, know what to ask for? They know what to ask for because the brain tells them what to ask for and we now have the mind of Christ that empowers us to ask and not ask amiss. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2;16 We cannot help but to abide in Christ, because we have now been made alive together with Him. And we cannot help but to abide in the Word of God, because Jesus is the Word, and we are now one with Him! We have been given the fullness of God and it is the Father within us, He does all of the works, even empowering us to ask! Today is the Day of our Salvation, and now is our appointed time in Christ!
