Asking in Jesus' name

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

"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and
appointed you that you should go and bear
fruit and that your fruit should remain, that
whatever you ask the Father in My name He
may give you."
...............John 15:16

"Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you
ask the Father in My name He will give you.
Until now you have asked nothing in My
name. Ask and you will receive, that your
joy may be full."
...............John 16:23-24

Jesus has given us authority to ask in His
name. As we abide in Him, we come to know
Him more and more and our hearts become
like His heart.

As we let His words abide in us and instruct
us, our desires are shaped by His desires
and His purposes become ours.

We begin to understand who He is and what
He wants to do in us and through us. His
desire is for us to bear fruit. . .to live
productive lives full of joy.

Askng in the name of Jesus means to ask
as He would ask, in according to God's
will and plans.
When we do, we can know that God hears
us, that our desires will be fulfilled and that
we will receive whatever we ask.

Jesus' earthly ministry showed us that His
plan and purpose was for us to be healthy,
wealthy and wise.

We receive every blessing He planned for us!

LORD, Teach us to abide in You and to let
Your words abide in us.
Change our hearts until they line up with
Yours.
For Your plans for us are good. . . joyful and
fruitful.
Our desires are Your desires too!
...............In the name of Jesus!
