1 John 5:14-16 NKJV
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask
anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears
us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of
Him.
John
11:38-44 NKJV 38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself,
came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said,
"Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said
to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four
days." 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would
believe you would see the glory of God?" 41 Then they took away the stone
from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and
said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You
always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that
they may believe that You sent Me." 43 Now when He had said these things,
He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" 44 And he who had
died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped
with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."
Having
confidence that we have in Him…..asking anything according to His will, His
word….He hears us…..that…..whatever
we ask, we know that we have the petitions, that we ask…..In that confidence….yes
spending time in His word that speaks to us, we hear it declare to us what we
have right now…..and it declares who we are and what is His plan according to
that word!
Going to
Lazarus, His friend who lies dead in a tomb…..and the professional paid mourners
are on the scene. Yes the crowd is growing as they near the tomb. And then
Jesus speaks above the noise, that fervor over death. And among those present
He speaks loudly, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me, and I know that
YOU have heard Me, and I know that You always hear Me…..but because of these
people who are standing here I said this, that they may believe that You sent
Me,” Now when He had spoken these things, He cried with a loud voice….”Lazarus,
come forth!” And Lazarus walks out….still bound hand and foot with grave
clothes and his face was not seen. But the dead man walked out alive. Jesus
said, “Loose him and let him go.”
Getting a
firm foundation is imperative for us to live the way Jesus did here on earth!
We are to speak and believe just as He spoke. We are to speak to situations and
circumstances and believe God has gone before us and prepared a smooth path for
us to walk. It is a dry place where high waters are held back by His powerful
hands that allows us His children to move forward for His plan and to His
glory.
May we
speak with a faith confession that is established by prayer and commitment of
heart to hearing God speak His will to us by His word for us. Knowing what the
Father’s desire is for a situation is that which brings dead things to life and
give them legs to move. Be committed to keep your eyes on His faithfulness,
look to His goodness and have a heart set on Who HE Is to you in the valley.
For when we
look for life, we will find it….and it will look like and sound like Jesus!
