1 John 5:13-15
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
This morning we will look at a powerful and uplifting passage of scripture. I do want to note that this passage (according to the 13th verse) is speaking to those who believe on the name of the Son of God. We know that Jesus is the one and only Son of God. So this passage is addressed to believers. If we believe in Jesus this passage is for us. Praise God that Jesus has afforded us the opportunity to have eternal life!
If you are a believer you should have confidence that God hears your prayers and petitions. How can we be sure that our requests are according to God's will? Pray His Word!
If we align our prayers up with the Word of God we can be sure that we are praying God's will.
If we know that God hears our prayers then my fellow believers we also know that we have what we have asked Him for.
My prayer is that we as believers pray according to God's will. And that we will begin to have confidence that God hears us and that He is granting each petition that we bring before Him!
Pray, Believe, Receive!
