Subject: Authority to Ask God for One's Needs |
Bible Note: Authority to ask for ones need? Yes you have the authority to ask. Need is relevant. If you repent from your sins and submit to the Lordship of Jesus, you have the authority to ask for forgiveness, and you will be given the faith to receive it. If you need a job to support your family, He will provide. ASK. SEEK KNOCK Jesus' name is not Lord. Lord is his title. If he is our Lord, we obey him. If we obey him, he will supply our need to fulfill his commands. He commands us to love. He gives us that ability. If he needs you to have 15 jets, to preach, you will have 15 jets. Maybe he wanted Joni to show crippled and whole people, that his grace is sufficient I remember the story of Joni. Before she was injured, As I remember. She was a "Christian" but not devoted to God. Diving was everything to her. After her injury, there was anger at God, grief, depression, and the whole spectrum of emotions. John 9:1 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works (GLORY) of God should be revealed in him. Oh how much God loved a man that he would be born blind? Therefore, he could reveal himself. Is Joni glorifying Jesus now, or was she glorifying Jesus as a diver? Why is it so important to you that Joni walk? Does she NEED to walk? Did God fall off His thrown because Joni cannot walk? On the other hand, perhaps your theology is a bit carnal? Are Joni's "needs" met? Yes Has God forsaken her? No Can people see the grace of God in Joni? Yes Can people see God's Glory in us? I was healed of scoliosis when I was 20. My children prayed for their pet bunny's broken leg, and God healed it. I saw a chain fall off a neighbor's dog. It was wrapped around its leg, causing pain. I could not get it loose. I asked Jesus to help me. The chain just fell off. I needed a job to provide for my family. I made a petition, and received every word on it. One day at Church youth camp I came in at the end of the service at the altar call. I was not really allowed to be there. People pulled strings so I could visit my girl friend. The preacher asked if anyone wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues. I said to my self, "I think I'll take that." I went up and received. All of these glorified God. I asked God to heal my eyes. He did not. About 20 years latter my water heater blew up in my face. It burned my hair and skin and I saw the flame hit my glasses. I still wear glasses. Healing my eyes would not have been a good gift. God gives good gifts. Joni E. winning the gold medal in the Olympics might have cost her, her soul. Hmmm Surely Joni will be wearing GOLD in heaven. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. And that not of yourselves; Is talking about faith. The faith is not even ours. IT is a GIFT. Rom 12:2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, Grace then peace, jcdm327 |
