The world's sin is unbelief in me;John 16:9 Living Bible
What did Jesus mean by that?
If
you stay in me and obey my commands,
you
may ask any request you like,
and
it will be granted! John
15:7 Living
Bible
John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
You
can ask me for anything, using
my name,
and
I will do it, for this will bring praise to
the Father because of what I, the Son,
will
do for you. ohn 14:13 Living Bible
Yes,
ask anything, using my name,
and
I will do it! John 14:14 Living
Bible
Do you really truly believe Christ will do all of the above if you just ask?
[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.I ask again, "What did Jesus mean by that?"
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.What will a person who is attached to the Vine and filled with the Holy Spirit, the words which have flowed from the Vine, even the wisdom of Almighty God, ask for? A new BMW? Hardly! They will seek more wisdom and understanding and that which is necessary to bring forth MORE FRUIT!
Why?Because you see, the more nutrients you receive from the Vine,
the more you become like Him and the more His will becomes your will,
for He is "in you".Shall we say, "Like Father, like son", or "daughter" too!
And the more fruit you bear, the more the Father is glorified, and so the more He showers His love and blessings on you. Do you not do the same for your children when they love you and do good things to please you? And you know how good it feels to give them a new toy or reward and watch the smile on their little faces, as they look up and put their arms around your neck and squeeze you and hug you and say "thank you mommy", or "thank you daddy". It doesn't get any better than that! Our Father loves His children and He loves to bless them too!
So understand, you won't have to ask for a BMW, because He will add "things" unto you, after you have first sought the kingdom of God Mat. 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you..
John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples
John 14:14 "If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it."
If you ask something in and from your heart you will be surprised just
how many miracles can come to pass. Do you believe with all your heart
and mind when you make a commitment? And from those prayers, are you
willing to use those gifts in the glory of God's work? You must come to
the understanding then that anything you have is a gift from God, and
that includes your family, your friends, your job, and your wealth that He
has allowed you to have and use for Him. Have you thanked Him for them?
When you give God the glory for those gifts you will see how He will
bless you. Many people just don't understand what it means when Jesus
said, "in My name", for they don't understand that "I and the Father
are one", and the Father gets all the Glory. Next time you make a
request, search your heart to see who's glory you are trying to fill;
yours or God's. There is a condition to loving God.
John 14:15 "If ye love Me, keep My commandments."
Yes, Great and Marvelous are His works!! Do you want to be a part of that great and marvelous work? For any of His works that you ask in His name He will do,
If ye abide in Him
If you can't, beyond a shadow of
a doubt, answer yes
you must question if you are a
true believer in Jesus!
I
am the one who raises the dead and gives them life again.
Anyone
who believes in me,
even
though he dies like anyone else,
shall
live again.
He
is given eternal life for believing in me and shall never perish.
Do you believe this?
Jesus
said,
If
anyone is thirsty,
let
him come to me and drink.
For
the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water shall flow from the
inmost being of anyone who believes in me."
(
John says, "He was speaking of the Holy Spirit,
who
would be given to everyone believing in him;
but
the Spirit had not yet been given,
because
Jesus had not yet returned to his glory in heaven.)"
How
earnestly I tell you this---anyone who believes in me already has eternal
life!
Yes,
I am the Bread of Life!
With
all the earnestness I possess I tell you this:
Unless
you eat the flesh of the Messiah and drink his blood,
you
cannot have eternal life within you.
And
the Scriptures point to me!
Yet
you won't come to me so that I can give you this life eternal!
You
shouldn't be so concerned about perishable things like food.
No,
spend
your energy seeking the eternal life that I,
the
Messiah,
can
give you.
For God the Father has sent me for this very purpose.
The
true Bread is a Person---
the
one sent by God from heaven,
and
he gives life to the world.
I
am the Bread of Life
Jesus said, "I am the Messiah!"
I
say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in
God who sent me has eternal life,
and
will never be damned for his sins,
but
has already passed out of death into life.
You
search the Scriptures,
for
you believe they give you eternal life.
And
the Scriptures point to me!
Yet
you won't come to me so that I can give you this life eternal!
You
shouldn't be so concerned about perishable things like food.
No,
spend
your energy seeking the eternal life that I,
the
Messiah,
can
give you.
John
wrote, And all
who trust him---God's Son---to
save them have eternal life.
Yes,
ask anything, using my name,
and
I will do it! John
14:14 Living Bible
If ye abide in Him
He went to the Father and sent His Spirit which, as Peter declared when he quoted JO-EL, shall be poured out (even is poured out) upon His servants and His handmaids in this final generation! We will read more about that POURING RAIN, i.e. pouring out of His Spirit, next!John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
The subject Jesus Christ is addressing is "the works" of those that believe on Him and who seek to serve Him, in His name, i.e. according to His Word "that Yahveh may be glorified in Yeshua". If you are one who believes in Him after this manner, then He will breathe the breath of eternal life in you (His son or daughter and NOW His servant or His handmaiden) and THROUGH YOU His Trumpet of Grace with the accompanying Warning that the 6th Trumpet is about* to sound will be heard Blowing! (*Or has sounded, i.e. at the time of the delivering up before the false-christ.) Yes, Great and Marvelous are His works!! Do you want to be a part of that great and marvelous work? For any of His works that you ask in His name He will do.
Do you know that name, which means do you know that God?[14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
If ye abide in Him
Let us now turn to JO-EL and see what the result is of that rain which comes down to you, His servant or handmaiden (Joel 2:23):
Do you really truly believe Christ will do anything, if you just ask using his name?
If you can't, beyond a shadow
of a doubt, answer yes
you must question if you are
really a true believer in Jesus!
Do you really believe all of the above things which
you claim to believe?
---is
our worship spiritual and real?
Do
we have the Holy Spirit's help?
For
God is Spirit, and we must have his help to worship as we should.
Their
sentence is based on this fact:
that
the Light from heaven came into the world,
but
they loved the darkness more than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
They
hated the heavenly Light because they wanted to sin in the darkness.
They
stayed away from that Light for fear their sins would be exposed
and they would be punished.
But
those doing right come gladly to the Light to let everyone see that
they are doing what God wants them to."
John wrote
Before
anything else existed, there
was Christ with God.
He
has always been alive and is himself God.
He
created everything there is---nothing exists
that he didn't make.
Eternal
life is in him, and this life gives light
to all mankind.
His
life is the light that shines through the darkness---and
the darkness can never extinguish it.
But although he made the world, the world didn't recognize him when he came.
All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.
All
those who believe this are reborn!
---not
a physical rebirth resulting from human passion or plan---
but
from the will of God.
And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us
and
was full of loving forgiveness and truth.
And
some of us have seen his glory---the glory
of the only Son of the heavenly Father.
John the Baptist said, "Look! There
is the Lamb of God who takes away the world's sin!
He
is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
I
saw it happen to this man, and
I therefore testify that he is the Son of God."
Yes,
ask anything, using my name,
and
I
will do it!John 14:14 Living
Bible
If ye abide in Him
John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
If
you don't whole heartily believe he will do anything you ask, If ye abide in Him you must
then question whether or not your faith in Jesus is for real!
