JOHN 15:7: “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.”
Union-inspired prayers draw answers from the Father.
When you abide in Christ’s word and it (word) is at home in your heart, you will ask according to the will of God and your prayer will be answered. You will make a prayer given to you by the Holy Spirit.
The word of God in your heart enables you to know God’s opinion on that situation you are praying about.
I like how the Mirror Word paraphrase puts it: “My words find voice in you.
With your abiding in me and my words abiding in you, a conversation is inspired where you will request that which arises in your desire from our union and it shall come to pass for you!”
And 1 John 5:14-15 sums it up.
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to 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 desired of him.”
So, when praying, understand that you are not doing so as an individual but as a union.
Jesus’ prayers were always answered and so shall be yours.
Go ahead and make heartfelt and fervent prayers.
You have just been ushered into the realm of answered prayers.
