John 15:7 : If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."
To abide simply means to dwell. This scripture clearly reveals four awesome truths that when we as believers begin to activate them we will receive the full benefit of the Word.
1) "Abide in me" - These three words clearly shows Jesus as the Source, Foundation and Beginning of an important fact and that is to dwell or to habitat. When we begin to look to Jesus as our dwelling place we are placing our dependence on him and not on our own ways, thoughts, or experience.
2) "My words abide in you" - Reveals the truth of letting the words of Jesus dwell in our hearts, lives, actions, attitudes and ways. His word is alive, quick, powerful, and lifechanging. (Hebrews 4:12) It is through his word we are heal, delivered, and set free. (Psalm 107:20) Our living depends on his word. (Matthew 3:4)
3) "Ask what you will" - Jesus is instructing us to ask according to our desires or will. Our desires for something is important. As Christians we tend to look past the fact that God doesnot want us to ask according to our desire. We think that we should only ask for things that pertain to spirituality and neglect our desires that pertain to life and this world. You want a new car? Ask for it. You want to start your business? Ask for it. You want to get out of debt? Ask for it.
4) "It shall be done unto you" - For all of you spiritual giants and theologians out there. This needs no interpretation or greek or hebrew. Jesus is telling us that when we follow the three prerequisites that IT or the thing that we ask for, shall be done for us.
Let's put everything in perspective.
When we dwell IN JESUS as our Source and Foundation and allow His lifechanging, powerful WORDS to become apart of our daily lives, then we are instructed, even commanded to ASK according to OUR DESIRES and know that IT (the thing that we ask) shall be done for us.
Shocking isn't it!
