Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“If you ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:14).
We have the right to ask but ask according to the will of God. That’s what asking in His name is all about. You must ask in the will of God. If you ask anything in my name, that means I’m coming to Him on His merits and on His mediation with a clean heart, trusting him. I’m coming and expecting Him to answer my prayers. What do I have the right to ask? We have the right to ask anything we choose to ask. That’s in keeping with God’s purpose and plan for our lives.
The simplicity of it overwhelms us. Somehow if I can just take all the credit. We can’t take any credit. It’s the love and grace of God. It’s the generosity and kindness of God that I don’t understand except to experience it. He said if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
“You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures” (James 4:3).
We have the right to ask, but don’t ask with wrong motives. He said my motives must be right. And we have the right to ask big things of God, if we know they are the will of the father. God has so much to give you and to do in your life if you will let Him do it.
