“Confidence”
“Confidence”
Blessings folk!
Fear not!
Faith!
Believers are not to live in fear.
We are to live in faith.
Anything else is idolatry.
Witchcraft.
Yep!

1Jo 5:13-15
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,
so that you may know that you have eternal life.
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that,
if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask,
we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
In what do you have “confidence”?
Fear reflects confidence/trust in something other than the Most High God.
If we place our confidence in Him, then, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us and we “have the requests which we asked from Him.”
Note the details.
- Confidence in Him…not us…not situation…not circumstance.
- Ask according to His will…not our will…not our wants, desires, pleasures, etc.
- He hears when we ask according to His will
- He grants our requests because we are asking within/motivated by His will
In other words, we hear what He wants and pray/request based upon that.
But, one might say, “why even pray since God already knows?”
Prayer is communion.
Prayer is communication.
Prayer is God informing us…not us informing God.
Prayer is us seeking the will of God.
We will not clearly hear the will of God if we are praying from a position of fear.
Pray by faith in the midst of fearful things.
The Lord will hear.
