IF GOD'S WORDS ABIDE IN US

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples” (John 15:7–8). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations The primary aim of prayer is to bring about the revealed will of God. God has a revealed will, so, “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14). That is why Christ gave us the petition, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Jesus said again: “If…My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7). The primary aim of prayer is not for our will to be done, but to bring about the revealed will of God; not to persuade God to our way of thinking, or to force His hand. His expressed will is that God desires all men to come to repentance. Everything in the New Testament spells that out clearly. If we ask according to that will, God hastens to answer. It is expressed in the prayer, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” It is the gospel that will achieve it. You have a part to play in that kingdom today!
