TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE HEARD, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT TO ASK!

Matthew 21,22:

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

But to this verse James 4:3 echoes:

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

So how do we ask properly?

Another verse will help us.

1 John 5,14-15:

Now 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, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

To put it simply: Know that HE refuses NOTHING to FAITH!

Faith COMES from the Divine Word you've heard!

Faith comes from the Divine Word you have obeyed!

You are not the origin of your faith; your faith is a gift from God. It comes ...

For faith is the Fruit of the Spirit, not the work of the flesh.

When you pray, who prays? Your faith or your passions?

Therefore present your faith; that is, what you have heard, what you have obeyed, and it will be done to you according to your faith!

Lastly, concerning faith, where 1 Corinthians 13:2 suggests that it is possible to have "all faith even to the moving of mountains", Romans 12:3 nevertheless speaks of "according to the measure of faith which God has allotted to each one."

So your measure of faith is what you've heard.

This is your corridor of invincibility and expression of your divinity or divine character.

Now, Matthew 18,19:

Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Do you know the measure of faith of the one you want to agree with?

Elishah asked according to his measure of faith, and Elijah found in his measure of faith how to grant Elishah's request, and we know the rest of the biblical story...

For it is faith that is the divine RIGHT-PASS!

Leviticus 26,8:

Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight;

Deuteronomy 32,30a:

How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight,

May the measures of faith unite without scorn to celebrate together great victories and great achievements!

Where faith is revealed, impossibilities disappear, for the gods are at work in creation.

Happy meditating!
