1 John 3:21-22(KJV)
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Oh, how wonderful it will be to receive all that we ask from God. This is indeed possible because the Word of God says so: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him…. The state where we can receive whatever we ask from God can be attained. If it were not so, the Word of God, which is truth, would not have said so. I want us to get this! YOU CAN GET TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU RECEIVE ALL THAT YOU ASK FROM GOD.
The reason we are not yet receiving all that we ask is clear from scriptures. God’s promises are almost always tied to conditions and this particular one is no exception. The conditions here are… keep His commandments… do those things that are pleasing in His sight… and then you receive whatsoever you ask.
God is ever faithful to keep His promises. If we become faithful on our part to fulfill the conditions, God will have no choice but to release what He promised to us. He is a God of integrity… and so will not want to break His Word.
We can actually have all that we have wanted from God for so long. We can receive whatever we ask from God. All we need to do is to diligently obey the voice of the Lord, carefully observe all His commandments (Deut. 28:1) and conduct ourselves as the Kingdom citizens we are. When we do, answers to all the prayers and petitions we’ve made and will make to God will begin to flow toward us.
Kingdom Confession:
I confess all my sins to God today. I am forgiven and cleansed from all unrighteousness. My heart does not condemn me. I have confidence toward God and therefore ask whatever I desire from Him in faith and according to His will. I decide to please God and keep His commandments. I therefore receive whatever I ask from Him in the name of Jesus.
Let’s Pray:
Father God, thank You for the privilege we have to approach Your throne of grace to obtain mercy and help in times of need. Thank You for being a covenant keeping God. Thank You because You are faithful to Your word. I come to You today with a heart that is not condemned and ask that You provide answers to all the prayers I will pray to You today according to Your Word. I thank You because I know You will do so in accordance to Your Word in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, Amen.
