Greetings,
What does it mean to abide in Christ? That’s an important question! One of the enormous benefits of abiding in Him, is the impact that it will have on our prayer lives. God promises to grant the requests of those who abide in Jesus.
John 15:7 (NKJV) – “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”
However, just because we’re Christians, He hasn’t given us a blank check to ask for everything that our selfish hearts may desire. To abide in Christ means that our wants and desires should become like His. We must be devoted to putting those things first, that matter the most to Him.
Dear Jesus, instill a desire in my heart for the things that matter most to You. Let me hunger for what You hunger for and I pray that Your desires will be accomplished in our world through me. Let me seek what You seek, love what You love, and hate what You hate. In Jesus Name. Amen!
Today, I’m worshiping with Jeremy Riddle and “Purify My Fire.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
