JOHN 15 v 7; If you abide in me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall

be done unto you IF YOU; EXPECTATION; The sinner who has repented of his sins, turned away from the old life that displeased God, and now has forgiveness of sins by God through Jesus Christ. ACTS 4 v 12 ; Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved The newly converted person is encouraged to read the word of God and to apply the learning to one's life, as revealed by the Holy Spirit. How can we be obedient to God if we do not know what He requires of us. ACTS 2 v 21 ; And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. ACTS 10 v 43 ; To Him give all the prophets witness that through His name, whosoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sins. Reconciled to God and his name written in the book of life. Now we are expected to consecrate our lives to God and worship Him in sincerity and truth. let our lives become more Christlike every day. ABIDE IN ME; CONDITION; That we pray to God and build up a happy trusting relationship with Him, and to be obedient to His requests of us. JOHN 14 v 23 ; Jesus answered and said to him, If a man love Me he will keep My words and My Father will love him and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. PSALM 61 v 4 ; I will abide in Your tabernacle for ever, I will trust in the covert of your wings. PSALM 62 v 6-7 ; My soul, wait you only upon God, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defence, I shall not be moved, In God is my salvation and my glory, the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God. PSALM 91 v 12 ; He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty . I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I will trust. What a glorious place to abide and in a close relationship with God and Jesus Christ. JOHN 15 v I 0- I I ; If you keep My commandments you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. Abiding in the love of the Godhead is a very real thing If we keep on abiding in His love we will have eternal life with Jesus following the rapture of His church.. PSALM 84 v4 ; Blessed are they that dwell in Your house, they will be still praising you. God is always pleased to hear our praise of Him and He will pour out a grand blessing upon all who declare Mm as their God. AND MY WORDS;. DIRECTION DEUTERONOMY I v 18-20 ;Therefore shall you lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul and bind them for a sign upon your hands that they may be as fronlets between your eyes . And you shall teach them to your children , speaking of them: when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, when you lie done and when you rise up. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates. PSALM 19 v 7-11 ; The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul, the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandments of the Lord are pure enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean enduring for ever. The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yes than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover is my servant warned and in keeping of them there is great reward. The word of God is badly needed in this world as mankind goes its own way and suffers in the consequences, The word of God, if meditated upon and put into practice brings peace of mind, the right way of living and if maintained throughout one's life time will bring eternal life with Jesus, and much blessing from God. Man's greatest need is to have the word of God firmly entrenched in his heart and mind and soul that He

may enjoy the peace of mind and give glory to the creator. 2 TIMOTHY 3 v 16-17 ; All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and profitable for doctrine, reproof , for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, throughly fumished unto all good works. ABIDE IN YOU. APPLICATION.; JOHN 15 v 4-5 ; Abide in Me and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself , except it abide in the vine, no more can you except you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches, He that abides in Me and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. The whole secret of a Christians progress in life is in abiding in Jesus and following the word of God. PSALM 37 vl-7; I JOHN 2 v 23-25 ; Whosoever denies the Son the same has not the Father. The that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Let that therefore abide in which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning remain in you , you shall also continue in the Son and in the Father. JOHN 15 v 9-11 As the Father has loved Me so have I loved you, Continue in My love. If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in Ms love. These things have I spoken to you that My joy might remain in you and that your joy may be full. Who can adequately describe the Father's love for each member of His family ? YOU SHALL ASK ; JUBILATION The fact that we are reconciled to God and can go to Him in prayer and praise and supplication should fill one mind with that Divine joy which only a Christian can possess. ISAIAH 65 v 24 ; And it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear. JEREMIAH 33v 3 ; Call unto Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you know not. ACTS 2 v 21, And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. There are many wonderful experiences ahead of us to enjoy as God, through the Holy Spirit reveals them to us His mercy, forgiveness, compassion health and the requiring of our faith in God increases day by day, As the Psalmist could say, In Thee do I put my trust. JAMES I v 5-7 If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally and upbraids not, and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith nothing wavering , for he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. WHAT YOU WILL; SUPPLICATION; PSALM 84 v 11-12; For the Lord God is a sun and a shield , the Lord will give grace and glory , no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly, 0 Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in You If we have no faith or trust in God then our prayers will not be heard HEBREWS I 1 v 6 ; But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarded of them that diligently seek Him. As we read the word of God we see the great blessings bestowed on them whose faith was strong in God, PSALM 103 v 2-4 ; Bless the Lord 0 my soul and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies v 10- 12, He has not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities, For as heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy to them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. God says if you have faith in Me then ask what you will and it shall be done. JOHN 16 v 23-24 ; And in that day you shall ask Me nothing, Verily, verily, I say to you whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name he will give it to you Hitherto you have asked nothing in My name, ask and you shall receive that your joy may be full,

AND IT SHALL BE DONE. COMPLETION.; Jesus answered and said to him, if a man love Me he will keep My words, and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him. Now this is something that all Christians should be looking forward to, being one in Christ, a beautiful unity and a warm fellowship with the Godhead. I JOHN I v 9 ; If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Confession, forgiven, it is done, Our sins are put behind God's back. MARK 10 v 51-52 , And Jesus answered and said to him, What will you that I should do unto you ? The blind man said to Him, Lord that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said to him, Go your way, your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus. in the way. Jesus keeps on asking us, What do you want from My Father, Why not have enough faith to ask the Father in the name of Jesus and rejoice in that it comes from God our heavenly Father. UNTO YOU. RECEPTION. LUKE 17 v 8-9 ; And the Apostle said to the Lord, Increase our faith, And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamore tree , be plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea, and it should obey you. The promises of God are for every Christian to use for the glory of God. Faith is one of the many gifts God gives to the new convert and as it us used so it grows and brings the Christians many blessings. LUKE 17 v 12-14 ; And as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers which stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us,. And when He saw them He said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass that as they went they were cleansed J0HN 14 v 12 ; Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on Me the works that I do shall he do also , and greater works than these shall he do because I go to My Father.. Now that calls for faith and have you started believing yet, and in the process been endowed with precious gifts to use in Christ's service and for the glory of God. ? I JOHN 5 v 13-15 ; These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God. that you may know you have eternal life and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in Him that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. HEBREWS 4 v 16 ; Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. LUKE I I v 9- 1 0 ; And I say to you, ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you, for everyone that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks it will be opened.. Let us abide in the word of God and assured of His abundant blessings. JOHN 14 v 27 ; Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, Not as the world gives, give I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me. Confused at the grace that so freely He proffers me. I tremble to know that for me He was crucified That for me a sinner, He suffered, He bled , He died. I think of His hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt. Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget ? Noon, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat Until at the glorified throne I kneel at His feet.
