WHAT DO YOU WANT? *AND WHATSOEVER YOU SHALL ASK IN MY NAME, THAT WILL I DO, THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. IF YOU SHALL ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT (JOHN 14:13-14). Only someone with unlimited power could make a statement such as the one above. Jesus said, if you ask anything in His Name, Hed do it; irrespective of what it is! As long as its something thats good for you and good for God, you can ask and itll be granted you. In Jeremiah 32:27 the Lord said, BEHOLD, I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH: IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME? Hes the Big Boss; He owns everything; and Hes saying to you today: Ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. Some people say, We should never ask God for the things we want; God only grants our needs, not our wants. But the Lord says, .....if you shall ask anything. This certainly doesnt refer to asking for your needs. In fact, youre not supposed to ask for your needs because theyre already catered for by your heavenly Father. The Bible says Hes the One who takes care of the Sparrows, and the lilies of the field. If He would take care of the birds and flowers, how much more will He take care of you, His beloved child (read Matthew 6:31-32). Religion has cheated many and deceived them to thinking theyd have to ask for their needs! Paul said, BUT MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS (Philippians 4:19). Paul wasnt making a promise to the Church on Gods behalf; he had come to know Gods ways of doing things: He supplies not just some but ALL our needs! Therefore, when you recognize a need , you dont need to pray, Oh God, l need such-and-such ; just declare that you have it in the Name of Jesus. As the seed of Abraham, you deserve to have the best things in life; theres no reason for you to be in lack or to envy others over what they have. You can have anything you want. Nothing is too good for you. Be bold to ask what you want in His name, and receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:24). May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.
