It Shall Be done!

My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7

Christians often forget that the Lord Jesus Christ urges them not to worry because if they let Him (hangout with them) live inside of them, then they can ask for anything and it will have to happen, it will be done. Praise the Lord! To really understand this verse, you have to go back and read the 13th chapter of John. Jesus was approaching His sacrificial death for you and I, and it must have been a difficult time because He loved the disciples, He knew He was about to leave them and He also knew that both Judas and Simon would betray Him, and yet He seizes the moment for some much needed teaching. It is one of the most beautiful chapters of the Bible. Jesus wanted to be sure that the disciples would not despair and know what to do once He was gone. That’s how much Jesus loves us! He wanted you and I to know, even though He is no longer living as a man among us, we can still have access to everything He is and everything He has to offer. The disciples did not understand it at the time, but you and I have to realize that there is no need in our lives bigger than God. Let’s read the text again, Jesus, Our Lord and savior did not ask us to bring (some, a few) of our requests to Him, but He said ask for “whatever’ ‘anything’ and it will be done. Now, if this does not encourage you, I don’t know what will. You can bring all of your needs to him, both big and smalls.

I understand that the church makes the word of God too difficult to grasp but there is nothing sophisticated about it. We don’t need a theology degree to understand that Jesus promises to grant all of our requests, as long as we He lives inside of us. There is no trick about this. It is really quite simple, but can one abide in Christ unless he/she is saved? No! To start enjoying a loving relationship with Christ, you have to admit that you are a sinner and that you need a savior. Therefore, unless you believe in Jesus who died in your place (for you sin) you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith. It is really this simple and quite amazing, wouldn't you agree? The beauty of it is that you can make this decision right where you are now. Friend, don’t let another day go by, make the decision now. This week alone there was a devastating plane crash and hundreds of people have died and at the start of this year, thousands more people perished around the globe as a result of earthquakes suddenly. Even if you were to be blessed with many more years on this earth, wouldn’t you want to live with Christ? Don’t you want to experience this burden free relationship starting now? My relationships with people have always been complicated from childhood to my adulthood, the only reliable, secure relationship I have known is the one with Jesus Christ and you too can start this incredible journey by making the decision to let Jesus Christ into your life right now. There is no waiting period, you make the decision and instantly become part of God’s family and the heir of the greatest kingdom, the Kingdom of God, and Jesus will now reside in you and you in Him and whatever you ask him shall be done.

Praise the Lord!
