According to His Will
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"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 hear us,
whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of
him" (1 John 5:14-15).
People have remembered John's phrase "according to his will," and
thought they had to pray, "Lord, do this or that, if it be thy will."
But inserting this expression into a prayer when God's Word already
states that what we're praying for is His will is confessing that we
don't believe God's Word. And that kind of praying will not work.
How can we find out what God's will is?
God's Word is His will! We can find out God's will for us in the Bible
because the Bible is God's will, His covenant, and His testament. And it
is God's will for us to have whatever God has provided for us!
First we must find the scriptures that reveal God's will for us. Then we
can go before God with great boldness: "...this is the confidence
that we have in him."
When we pray for things that God's Word tells us are His will, we know
that He hears us! And when we know God hears us, we know we have the
petitions we ask of Him. We know we have them, praise God!
Confession: I have this boldness toward God: When I ask anything
according to God's Word, I know He hears me! And I know that when God
hears me, I have the petitions I desired of Him!
