Prayer 2021 - October 27 - God's Word IS God's Will pt 2

Scripture For Today:

Psalm 6:9

“The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.”

God’s Word is God’s Will pt 2

Yesterday, we started to look at something that I said would grow your Faith exponentially in ways that you would never experience any other way.  That is to know and understand that “God’s Word IS God’s Will.”  Amen!

We looked yesterday at 1 John 5:14-15 that says, “…and this is the confidence that WE HAVE – IN HIM!  That, if we ask ANYTHING according to what?  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 desire of Him…”

Another translation says, “And this the BOLDNESS we have towards Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

Almost immediately, our carnal, natural minds want to focus on the phrase, “…according to His will…”  That is why many misguided people, pastors included, often pray, “Lord, do this or that, IF it be thy will…”

Other times, we pray for things about which we already have God’s Word, so we KNOW His will concerning those things. When we insert a phrase that expressed doubt and unbelief, like “IF it be thy will…” it is incorrect and negates our entire prayer!  We already KNOW His will because we know what His Word says!

To say, “If it be thy will” when you already KNOW His Word and His will, is confessing YOU DOUBT His Word! You are telling Him, the angels and THE DEVIL that you really, really, REALLY deep down in your heart and soul, DO NOT BELIEVE HIS WORD!

That is dangerous area for any believer to be operating in!  Not believing His Word?  How can you have faith in your salvation then?  How can you have Faith that Jesus actually did what the Word said He did? How can you have Faith that Jesus is actually the Son of God manifested in the flesh? How can you have Faith that He really did rise from the dead? How can you have Faith that YOU are going to Heaven? How?  Go ahead, I’ll wait…answer me…

Folks, God’s Word IS the revealed Will of God!  Therefore, if you learn and know what the Word of God says, YOU know what the will of God IS. Amen!

Some misguided folks believe that the only way you can know the Will of God is by praying, “If it be they will.” 

I heard a famous preacher that I follow, well “followed,” back when I first began my walk of Faith. He has since gone on to be with the Lord…

He said in a meeting one time, talking about this very thing, that once he was called to his deacon’s house because his wife was extremely sick. The deacon was obeying the word and called for him to come, based upon James 5:14-15.

But this minister knew, even though this woman was a Sunday school teacher, her husband a deacon and they had been with him for close to 20 years, sitting under his teachings, etc., that she may not have developed a deep, abiding Faith in the Word. And the only way to find out, according to the Word, is “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”

So, as he prepared to anoint her and pray for her, he asked, “Sister, will you be healed as I anoint you with oil, lay hands on you and pray over in Jesus Name?”

Her response, “I will be if it’s God’s Will.”

He said, “How are you going to know if it’s God’s Will?”  Now, the ONLY right answer there is “It’s in His Word. It says I’m healed, therefore I AM HEALED!”

But she did not say that, she replied, “When you pray, IF I’m healed, THEN I will know it is God’s Will for me to be healed.”  

It’s amazing, how someone can sit under anointed teaching for most of their life and still MISS what the Word of God is truly about. AMEN!

If it is IN the Word – It IS God’s Will. Period. End of discussion!  Amen!

Let’s Pray!
