How to Get What you Pray For
“Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members? You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask. You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”” (James 4:1-6 WEB)
“This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.” (1 John 5:14-15 WEB)
“All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”” (Matthew 21:22 WEB)
“Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14 WEB)
Whatever you ask for in prayer that is according to God’s will, you will receive it if you believe.
Why do we disbelieve at times? It could be due to unfamiliarity with God’s word. His will is revealed in His written word.
Another reason is that we feel unworthy to receive good things from God because of some sin in our life. The shame and condemnation produces unbelief.
God knows our motives when we pray. If something is going to harm us, He as a good Father will not give it to us until it is safe.
Just because your two year old child fusses over wanting to play with a knife does not mean that you have to give it to him.
As an adult and responsible parent, you are wiser than him and know that it is not safe.
God is infinitely wiser than us. When we pray, we must also accept that sometimes our intentions may not be pure, and it will harm us if we get what we pray for.
Praise Him. God is good, and He is wise; a generous, gracious, merciful God! He is our beloved Abba Father!

God Inside You
“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB)
Take a moment now to close your eyes and place a hand on your chest to feel the heart beating.
Be conscious of how this mortal body is the house of the omnipotent, omnipresent Holy Spirit.
Somewhere inside you, the Spirit of God sits enthroned, and His life-giving power flows inside you like mighty rivers.
“Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.” But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.” (John 7:37-39 WEB)
In the past, men and women had to go the well to draw water for drinking.
There is a thirst for natural water, but the spirit also thirsts for God.
We were all created with a longing for eternity in our hearts.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 WEB)
What we actually desire is eternal life, with the quality of life that God Himself lives by: total shalom peace. Just that many people cannot put a description to that deep longing they feel inside.
“Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation; neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”” (Luke 17:20-21 WEB)
While man builds his kingdom with buildings and structures made of stones, metals, wood, and inanimate things, God builds His kingdom in His people.
Each believer is a living stone that makes up the ever-growing temple of God that rises to Heaven.
So much power, wisdom, and life is flowing inside your spirit. Read God’s word to know and believe what belongs to you in Christ. Just reach in and draw some out in Jesus’ name. Let the power that raised Jesus from the dead also affect your body and every part of your life!

Where is Jesus Now?
“Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:24 WEB)
The day is coming whereby Jesus’ prayer request in the verse above will be fulfilled.
We, the church (bride of the Lamb) will be received by our heavenly bridegroom into His Father’s house.
How amazing it will be to live where Jesus is, to see His glory in person.
Did you know that even the apostles who have since fallen asleep in death are not yet exactly where Jesus is?
“In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.” (John 14:2-3 WEB)
Jesus resides with Abba God in the sanctuary that is on the Mount Zion in the Heavenly Jerusalem. That is the location of God’s throne.
The Jerusalem on earth is actually a miniature mirror image of the Jerusalem above. Even the layout is the same—God made sure this was so.
None of the saints are there in the sanctuary yet. Those who are dead in Christ are in a part of Heaven called Paradise which is the garden of God.
“I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven. I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows), how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4 WEB)
In the original Greek, the word is Paradeison which means “a pleasure garden”. In Hebrew, the name is translated as “Gan Eden”, which is literally the Garden of Eden. Eden also means “pleasure”. Both the Greek and Hebrew agree that it is the Garden of Eden.
So that is where the Garden of Eden and the tree of life went! It was translated up to Heaven, protecting the tree of life from the world-destroying flood, and is now used as a waiting area for the saints.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.” (Revelation 2:7 WEB)
We see that this is true. The Holy Spirit testifies that the tree of life is now in the Paradise (Garden of Eden) in Heaven. The cherubim with fiery swords who guard the entrance to the garden do not stop the saints there from accessing the tree of life!
The dead in Christ are still waiting for the Rapture so that they can receive their glorified bodies and finally be where Jesus is.
If what I’m saying is not true, then Jesus would not have said to the apostles, “I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.”
We know that the apostles who heard these words spoken by Jesus have already fallen asleep in death.
This promise will be fulfilled at the Rapture. The Lord will come back, and in the air, He will receive us to Himself. The apostles and all the saints will receive glorified bodies, and we will finally be with Jesus!
These days, I find myself reading and re-reading the four gospels a lot because I love to read Jesus’ words and read about Him in action. Such a perfect, wonderful God-Man, and He is our Lord.

• Is there still a need to tithe if we’re under grace? Isn’t tithing a principle under the law?

People have gone to great extremes to retain their youth. But as children of God, we have a better and surer way: Simply believe right, and we will see our youth renewed! Join Joseph Prince as he shares from Scripture how to walk by faith and enjoy the Lord’s promise of youth renewal in your life. Experience divine health and strength fill your body when you begin to:
• Fill your heart with faith pictures of youthfulness from God’s Word.
• Speak forth what God says about you instead of what you see in yourself.
• Stop speaking the world’s language of death and decay.
• Grow in the same spirit of faith that Caleb from the Bible had, which caused him to receive power and boldness to walk in God’s purposes for him at 85 years old.
Start renewing your mind according to God’s infallible Word, and you’ll experience the same (or even greater) life and health than you had in the days of your youth!
