“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.   And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

The Words of Jesus from John 14.  Is the Father glorified in the Son in your life?  Your Church? Your Walk with God?

Jesus said: “ whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

Is that true?  Are there any conditions?

We must believe : 

James  2:23
“And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.”

We believe the Lord for Salvation, why?

For me it was the weight of my sins being lifted from my Sprint, I asked for forgiveness and felt forgiven.  The presence of the Lord became real within me.

Jesus  continually said:
“If you believe ”
Only believe ”
“If you can only believe ”
“Believe  only”

James gives a good reason our prayers aren’t answered.

James 4:3
“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.”

Are our hearts wrong when we ask for healings, provision, comfort or peace? 

Why can we not believe, even when it is right in front of us? 

” Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. ”    My reason :

I am not worthy.   I am saved, sanctified, holy ghost filled and water baptized but not trustworthy.  

I can get a big head quickly and believe He used me because I am special; instead of available.   He has tried me and He found me wanting.

Lord, I long to be a vessel of use for You.  Humble, obedient, reliable.  I ask You to forgive my failures and create in me a heart that is true to You.  A mind and Spirit that hungers and thirsts for Your Righteousness.  Make me a useful vessel.
