I’m calling out to God Most High
Who is behind every good thing in my life.
JOHN 16:24 (MSG)
This is what I want you to do: Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I’ve revealed to you. Ask in my name, according to my will, and he’ll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks!
THE ESSENCE
When we’re living on assignment with Jesus, we can without hesitation ask for whatever it takes to carry out the mission.
DAILY FODDER
Have you ever had a stingy employer — someone who expected great performance but who was reluctant to provide the resources to do the job? It's frustrating. But all our dealings with God are the complete opposite. He often encourages us by providing not just what we ask for, but more than enough. He is a God of abundance and Jesus is the one who signs off on our requisitions.
PRAYER
Generous Jesus, thank you for setting us up for success in your kingdom. Forgive us for failing to ask for what we need or, when we do ask, asking for things irrelevant to your kingdom. Teach me how to ask in your name — according to your agenda and your operating procedures. I'm ready to see your kingdom flourish in and around me. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
