Meditation: What does God promise to those who lift their needs to Him?
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. The truth in this scripture lies in our priorities. Are we seeking our wants or are we seeking the will of God. The only way to know for sure is to live in God. We need to eat sleep and breathe the word of God in this way we know if we are asking amiss or not. Remember that God is our father not our genie or wish granter. How do we eat sleep and breathe the word of God and get our work done. This is the easy part of life. We get up and we pray we read our Bible everyday even if it is only a chapter a day. In this quality counts more than quantity. Read as much as your heart desires in the morning
so that you can reflect back on what you've read through out the day. Pray that God changes your heart to better fulfill. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart,O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Only God the creator can clean our heart.
Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? His will If we memorize a verse that's good I have no problem with that but that only puts them in your head. Only love for God can put them in your heart.

john 14:14 if ye shall ask any thing in my name, i will do [it].

this sounds like i have just been written a blank check.

John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
This sounds like I have just been written a blank check. So let me get out my wish list and start asking. Does the rest of the Bible say the same thing? So far we have talked about all that God will do for us if we just ask but God does have a plan and I believe that He will not give us anything that will interfere with His plan. Well if you look at verse 13 you will see that He will only do that which will glorify God. John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. So when we ask for what ever we want and we do it with our heart seeking the Kingdom of God first then there is no stopping God from doing for us.

meditation: what does god promise to those who lift their needs to him?.

jeremiah 33:3 call unto me, and i will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.. this says that if i call on god he will show me things that i don't even know about.

this goes along with ephesians 3:20 now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, does this mean that we are given more then we ask for?

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

This says that if I call on God He will show me things that I don't even know about. This goes along with Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Does this mean that we are given more then we ask for? It sure sounds like it to me. What do we do to deserve the wonders of God? Both of these verses say that all I need to do is ask. But in order to ask I have to believe that there is someone to ask that can answer. So in asking faith is needed.

meditation: what does god promise to those who lift their needs to him?.

isaiah 65:24 and it shall come to pass, that before they call, i will answer; and while they are yet speaking, i will hear.. .

some may look at this verse and say that this is what it will be like in heaven: that we have to wait to get there to receive this promise.

Meditation: What does God promise to those who lift their needs to Him?

Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Some may look at this verse and say that this is what it will be like in heaven: that we have to wait to get there to receive this promise. It this what the rest of the Bible suggest? By asking this question I am not saying that this verse is wrong I am just saying that we can have it now also. In Daniel 10:12 the angel told Daniel that as soon as he set his heart to understand he was on his way with the answer. Daniel set his heart to understand as soon as he started reading the word to see when the Children of Israel would return to the Promised Land. Daniel 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. This tells me that this promise is for now too. If is worked for Daniel under the old covenant how much more should it work for us today?

psalm 91:15 he will call upon me, and i will answer him.

i shall be with him in distress.

I we are called to work for God By Jesus in Matthew 28:19 &20 which says Go therefore and make descipesof people of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: 20 teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you, and look I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system if things.

We are to grow up and not be children. I would want my grown children to do what I would ask them to do. I would not ask them to do anything unreasonable.
Ephesians 4:14 & 15 in order that we should be no longer babes, tossed about as by waves and carried hither and tither by the trickery of men, by means cunning in contriving error, 15 But speaking the truth let us by love grow up in all things, into Him who is the head, Christ:

Psalm 91:15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him. I shall be with him in distress. I will rescue him and glorify him.

If you have time read all of Psalm 91 and you will find that the
writer is not just talking about what God will do for you but that He will do it because He loves YOU. This chapter is a list of things that God will do for you. When you see just how much God loves you what will you be willing to do for Him?
