Ask and It Shall Be Given...

"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."
(King James Bible)

"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 Message Bible)

~ John 16:24


I used to think the piece of scripture about asking God what you want and it be given unto you was to be reckoned with. I mean I have always revered the word of God but this particular verse I didn't completely have faith in it. Well I must tell you, I was doing myself a disservice. Gods word is true.

God is so ready to give us the desires of our hearts but the key is to delight ourselves in Him. Put Him first in life and all that you desire will surely come to pass. The thing about putting God first in your life allows Him to trust you with what He wants to bless you with. He is faithful. He is NOT like man that He should lie. Our thoughts and desire come into alignment with what He wants for us and them He is more than happy to bless us accordingly.

Yep!! It's that simple. I don't have all that I would like in life YET and that is because of my faith and disobedience. But as I continue to put the Lord first and acknowledge Him in everything, I will reap every vision, dream and aspiration in my life.

I encourage you today. Put Him first. It doesn't get any simpler than that. I mean, what a deal huh!? I'll take it. You should too...

Let's pray...

Lord, thank you for Your faithfulness and commitment to us. We pray for lots of things but first and foremost we pray to be pleasing to You and put You first. In doing this please find it to be Your great pleasure to grant us our hearts deepest desires. We believe and we receive in Jesus Holy name. Amen!

To Know His Ways Gives Me Hope.

"Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness."

~ Psalms 143:10 (King James Bible)


Show me your ways that I may walk with you
Show me your ways I put my hope in you
The cry of my heart is to love you more
To live with the touch of your hand
Stronger each day, show me your ways

And when we've learned and continue to learn His ways we will never be the same again. New life will begin. New perspective will arise. New ambition will come into character. New passion will bring forth materialization of vision... As we get stronger each day we will never be the same again...

~ Royalbutterfli

I will never be the same again
I could never return, I've closed the door
I will walk the path, I'll run the race
And I will never be the same again

There are higher heights, there are deeper seas
Whatever you need to do, Lord do it in me
The glory of God fills my life
And I will never be the same again

Pour like fire, soak like rain
Flow like mighty waters again and again
Sweep away the darkness, blow away the chaff
And let a flame burn to glorify your name.

I will never be the same again
I could never return, I've closed the door
I will walk the path , I'll run the race
And I will never be the same again
And I will never be the same again
And I will never be the same again...br />
Father, thank you for life and the many aspects of it. Among many aspects thank you for the joys that give us strength and makes us full, the sadness that builds character, the fear that challenges us to grow, the courage that allows us to move forward and the people that make every aspect all the more interesting... We love you and ask for your power to get through each and every situation, good and bad. Show us the way you handle things that we may follow your ways and never be the same again. We pray in agreement in Jesus name... Amen.
