Ask And You Shall Receive

John 16:23-24 NKJV

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

As the scripture states, whatever we ask the Father in the name of Jesus, he will give it to us. This takes place, first of all, because you have relationship with God himself, since you are born again. Considering that you are born again, when you ask anything from the Lord, you have His favor on your life. If you are not asking anything, you should not expect anything. The Lord tells us to ASK! What will happen when you ask? You will receive what you ask, assuming it lines with God's will for your life. What is it's purpose? That your joy may be full. Remember the joy of the Lord is your strength. So, if your joy is full, it means you have great strength to accomplish what God has purposed for you.

Perspective

In each situation in our lives we react a certain way to what is happening, in many cases reacting differently than other people. Why do we react differently than others? It is perspective!     Perspective is defined as “a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” In a light hearted way, (in some cases) a football game comes to mind. You may be pulling for your favorite team and your good friend is pulling for the opposing team. Each of you are pulling for your team with all your might. At the end of the game, one of the teams prevails while the other team is dejected over the loss.   If your team won and your friends team lost. You are thrilled, your friend not so much. From your perspective it is awesome to have a win, your friend isn’t happy at all. Why? It is from the perspective you are coming from. You may have a particular point of view concerning a matter and many around you don’t share your view. You think in the manne...

Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen.  You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take. Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions. Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And...
