"If you ask anything of me
in my name,
I will do it."
As we have discussed yesterday, the Lord Jesus Christ is our only Mediator with the Father. It is He who have made known the Father as He is [see Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22; John 7:29] and it is He who will present us to the Father when He finally turns over the Kingdom so that everything may be one in the Father [see 1 Corinthians 15: 23-27]. Through Him we have been freed from our bondage to sin and was once again reconciled to the Father [see Romans 5:1, 10-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18]. Through Him we can ask anything from the Father [see John 15:16; 16:23, 26].
But we need to really have strong and unwavering faith in order to avail of the Lord's promise of accomplishing whatever we ask from the Father or from Him. For without faith, it is impossible to please God [see Hebrews 11:6]. And without faith He won't do what we ask of [see Matthew 13:58]. Faith is necessary in order to receive what we ask from the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If we have faith, we can even more mountains [see Matthew 17:20; 21:21] but if we do not have faith we won't be able to do things [see Matthew 20:21]. Moreover, whenever we ask the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, we must believe that He will grant it and that we will receive it [see Matthew 7:7; Mark 1:24].
God is truly generous and will give us everything that we ask from Him in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ provided that we ask for the proper things for we certainly cannot ask for evil things [see Psalm 66:18; 84:11; James 4:3; 1 John 3:22; 1 John 5:14; Matthew 7:11; Luke 11:13]. He even gave us His only-begotten Son to be our Savior, how much more much lesser things? [see Romans 8:32; John 3:16]. Didn't the Lord himself said that we just have to prioritize the Father and He will provide us with everything? [see Matthew 6:33; 19:29; Mark 10:29; Luke 12:31].
We only have to ask through our Lord Jesus Christ.
