The Code!
If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. John 15:7 AMPC
Access to God has been discussed on many platforms today. God wants men to come to Him of their own freewill so He can release to them the treasures of His presence, but then, there is a prescribed way to make that approach. As much as God desires fellowship with man, man will do well to find out what God needs and how God wants to be approached. The most effective way, if not the only way, is through my understanding and application of the Word of God.
The Word of God holds secrets about who God is and how He deals with man. Today's extract emphasizes the need for man to live in God and allow His Word live in their hearts. Why is this important? It is because God's Word is the prescription against sin and wrong doing. It is the cure to a life without purpose and direction. The Word of God teaches me about God, how to live, speak and relate and it teaches me life's lessons that prepare me for eternity. And the focus is on 'living', not temporary arrangements. It is not something you go to only when things are rough; it has to be your main stay and your daily guide.
That is the foundation of receiving anything from God. When His Word is my guide and guard, my thoughts and actions align with His. I do not pursue personal agendas; all that matters is God's kingdom and its impact on earth in and through me. All I will ask will align with His Word, because His Word is my first love. I am assured of an answer, because my requests align with God's will and purpose. Can this be said about me at the moment? Can it be said about you too? His time of favour is here.
