Bible Question: When do believers receive what they ask for? |
Bible Answer: The bible tells us that II Peter 1:3 we have everything we need for life and godliness. All the promises in Christ are yes and amen. Ephesians 1:3 We have every spiritual blessing that is in Christ Jesus. All our treasures are stored up for us in Christ Jesus. There are a couple of factors in answering that question. First, it tells us in James 1:5-7 that we are to ask of God. When we come to Him in prayer we are to do it in faith without doubting. For the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not expect that he will receive anything from the Lord. We need to first ask in faith. Oftentimes we have not because we ask with wrong motives. Are we asking for things that are according to God's will and according to His word or are we seeking for material gain. Do we really trust that God will really take care of our needs according to Matthew 6. Our thoughts are not always His thoughts and His ways are not always are ways. Do we really trust the first verses I gave you at the top. If we start looking at what we already have instead what we don't have, that will change our perspective on things. I hope this helps! |
