18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. This essentially is the way each message will go that we might be provided with confidence in our request of the Lord, particularly relating to these items.ġ2 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. If there is not good purpose in God for the answer, we also might anticipate a YES response in vain.Īnd finally, if there is something in us that withholds the effect of the request, if, for example, our motives are wrong or attitude not genuine, we might again be asking in vain. If God is not able to perform our request, if it is not Accomplishable, we again ask in vain. In other words, is the subject of our prayer contingent or conditional on something from ourselves before the Lord would affirm our request? Anything we need to contribute?ĭoes that all make sense? You see if the Lord has not articulated he would say yes, if it is not stated in the bible that God would affirm such a request, we could be asking in vain. Is There a Cost for Salvation/Forgiveness/Faith/Peace/Wisdom?.In other words, is there a purpose in God for which we could be confident to anticipate a YES answer to our prayer? Is Yes Anticipated for Salvation/Forgiveness/Faith/Peace/Wisdom?.In other words, can God perform that to which he affirms? There is little point trusting the affirmation if we doubt the affirmer.To most of us this seems a moot point because we believe God when he says it, but knowing he is well able to perform that which he affirms gives to us greater confidence in other items we pray for. Is Yes Accomplishable for Salvation/Forgiveness/Faith/Peace/Wisdom?.
In other words, is YES for Salvation specifically stated in the Bible, is it articulated by God, is it given to us that we may know and not guess? For Salvation/Forgiveness/Faith/Peace/Wisdom?
They are, in my own view, four of the most important questions to consider to confirm if it is true that God will answer YES to these items of prayer. There will be four foundational points to which each sermon will follow. This is true only if you have a relationship with him. He does not accidentally catch wind of them, but specifically notes every word. God is personal, not arbitrary, he inclines his ear to hear our prayers. We are seeking the answers of our petitions to the personal, living, holy, just and powerful creator of all things. When a Christian prays he does so to only one who can answer.
#I will mock when your fear cometh series
In the coming weeks we will be going through these five specific items in a series I have simply entitled as YES.īeloved we are not speaking to the air when we pray, we are not hanging coloured prayer flags on a line or spinning prayer jars or rubbing the belly of an idol. The five prayer requests we might see are These the Bible indicates always have a YES response from the Lord. YES Salvation is the first in a five-part series of messages that seeks to demonstrate the five areas of prayer in which we enquire where the Lord always answers YES. These Five prayer items that fall in perfect line with Gods nature and his will and are specifically identified in scripture.
