If He calls you to do a certain thing, scripture says whatever you ask you will have in His name. For when His will speaks to you and by faith you receive the word then you have a requirement. You abide in Him because you are dying of your will and now to seeking His only. To find it from God, you must find His (rhema) word. You are going to have to find it from God. You are not going to be able to find the answer in a fortune cookie. You need a “rhema” (spoken) word for circumstances and situations that are at hand.
Many of us today need answers on issues that are not found in chapter and verse.
Many people, because of limitations, believe that the only way to hear God and to have a relationship with God is through the written word. You cannot live this life the way you want to because you gave it to Him! If you abide in Him that means God is going to do it the way he wants to. You gave Him this life in exchange for eternal life. It means must do whatever Christ wants to do. “If you abide in me.” What does this mean? It means to live in Christ but you must also die to self. Does it mean that if you go to church and begin to believe the written word then you can have whatever you want? No, you cannot claim whatever you want! There are some conditions in this verse of scripture which we need to understand. “For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with Faith in those who heard it” (Hebrews 4:2). When you mix faith received by the written word with faith received in the spoken word, you’ve got something. There is a new light, a new revelation to this verse when you look at with this new understanding which I consider the “double portion” of faith to FAITH. “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7).
