Where is your Confidence?

I shared this with co-workers at work a while ago and I felt inclined to share this with you. I hope you are blessed by this.

        And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him” 1 John 5:14-15

This verse can give us all confidence when we approach God because it reminds us that anytime we ask anything according to God’s will we already have whatever that we ask of him. The enemy wants us to believe that we have to beg and plead for something that already belongs to us. Healing, deliverance, blessing, peace and prosperity are all a part of God’s will for us, therefore when we ask God for those we already HAVE those things. He has already given them to us, we just have to receive it. I looked up some definitions for the main words in this passage and this is what I found:

Confidence- Full trust and certainty
Ask- to inquire of or request
Anything- to any degree or extent
According- agreeing or in harmony
Hear- to perceive or to apprehend

This scripture really encouraged me and hope it does the same for you. 

I love you and God loves you,
