As the Spirit of the Lord gives us “ears to hear,” we are ever learning His “ways.”
[Rom 11:33]
In last Sunday's word, “What Do You Want?” the Lord spoke to our insides about “The Process Of Asking.”
We began to re-discover that the basis for our petition/prayers is NOT what we “think,” BUT what the Father has “revealed” (aka. what “is”).
[Pastor]
In order that we do not “ask/pray amiss,” our petition/prayer must be with the help of the Spirit; because the Spirit “maketh intercession for us ...according to the will of God.”
[Jas 4:3; Rom 8:26-27; cf. 1 Cor 14:15]
If Jesus could not speak a word, other than what He heard the Father speak; or do whatever He saw His Father do; what license/liberty do we think we have to speak or do otherwise?
[Jn 12:49; 5:19]
So, until the Spirit reveals What “is” the Father's will, we won't have a clue as to What We “Think” We Want.
ThenSingsMySoul:
IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU;
ASK WHAT YOU WILL, IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU.
HITHERTO HAVE YE ASKED NOTHING IN MY NAME:
ASK, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE, THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL
[Jn 15:7; 16:24]
