RECIEVING WHAT WE REQUEST IN PRAYER



In these few verses Jesus has assured us that our prayer requests will be granted if we do certain things first. The reason that He will do whatever we ask in his name is so that our Father may be glorified. He pledges to grant what is asked to those who abide in him and in his word.



These words are spoken to all of us, not just the disciples, or priests or preachers. It is to those who “bring forth fruit”. Jesus summed it up for us when asked “What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” (John 6:27-29) Belief is considered a work.



Scripture:

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)



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)



Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. (John 15:16)



WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

We have learned these facts concerning prayer. (1) IF we abide in Him and He in us (2) IF we ask according to His will and (3) IF we are doing His work by believing and/or bringing in fruit, we may ask anything and He will do it.



Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this

study of His word, Amen.
