But if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! John 15:7
[That verse is an uncanny declaration.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Except, Christ said it—“ask what you desire.”
And after all, He didn’t sacrifice one iota of His own integrity by making that promise, because it is predicated on a significant premise: abiding in Him. That isn’t some mystical position or some hard-to-arrive-at pattern of conduct. It isn’t a religious accomplishment or a pious performance. It’s just honest-to-God saying, “I want Your will.”
His answer: “Pray, and I’ll work it.”]
