John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
This is one of the most powerful truths in the Bible. Think about what Jesus said here. To abide means to be one with. We abide in Jesus when we become born again and take the time to walk with Him, staying in close fellowship with the Lord. This is an often overlooked key to faith, diligently seeking Him (Hebrews 11:6). Our faith is not in the Word, it is based on the Word, but our faith is in the One who spoke that Word.
The Word abiding in you means that Word has become one with your heart. This is a vital key for us to see this verse of scripture work for us. Many may have head knowledge of God’s Word, but that is not the same as His Word coming alive within your heart. Until it does, it will not have the power to produce through us what God has said. For that Word to come alive in us, we need to take the time to meditate in and upon His Word.
To do this you must give the Word of God your full attention as if Jesus was the One speaking to you. Beyond hearing the Word preached in church, you need to read God’s Word, seeing that Word as a reality in your life. You must learn to accept what God’s Word says above all else, making His Word the priority in your life. When you take the time to focus your attention on God’s Word, turning away from other distractions, His Word becomes alive in you, and you can ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
