Receiving From The Father
By Vincent Ballistrea
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and those things which are pleasing in His sight.” 1 John 3:22 KJV
I can say with all honesty that one of the biggest problems believers have throughout the world is their capacity to receive from their Heavenly Father. What stops them from receiving? One reason can be condemnation, not feeling worthy to receive from God because of things they are doing in their life that they know wouldnt bring joy to His heart. Another reason can be that they simply do not know the heart of the Heavenly Father. They dont know He is already willing and able to pour out of Himself into His people all that they can ever need to walk in that ZOE life which can only come from Him. (John 10:10) Lastly and I think is probably the biggest problem people have is a lack of knowledge to know that God is a giving God. I am reminded of Hosea 4:6 where God clearly tells us that His people do perish for a lack of knowledge. People do need to change their minds and thoughts on how they perceive God and line up their mind to the Word of God and what it says about how awesome of a giving God they love with all their hearts.
So what can we do to take care of these issues? Well lets tackle the first one being condemnation and sin. If you have stumbled and missed the mark and gave given into a temptation we do have an easy solution. REPENT! Hallelujah!! (1 John 1:9) You dont have to wallow around in whatever you may have done. Put it in the blood of Jesus. Throw that thing in the sea of forgetfulness and move on! You have to remember something. If after you repent and put it in the blood and God remembers it no more then why should you? As with anything the emeny will try to throw things in your face with his thoughts and suggestions and do you know what to do with those thoughts from him? Cast them out in the name of Jesus!!! Remind him of Romans 8:1 which says there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk NOT after the flesh but after the Spirit. Galations 3 also tells us those who walk after the Spirit do not fulfil the lusts or enticements of the flesh. So if you are having a continual sin problem that means you are having a Word problem. Not spending enough time in the Word does open up the door to the enemy. So fill up the inner man with God’s Word and give no place to the devil!!
How do we take care of the not knowing the heart of the Father? Well again this can be solved by getting into the Word and spending time in worship and prayer. This doesnt mean you grab your Bible and read through 10 chapters in 3 minutes. That does nothing for your spirit on the inside. The Bible is not a newspaper!! When you read it slowly and allow God to bring you revelation of what is in printed form and have Him place it in your heart that is where some big spiritual growth comes and your relationship with the Heavenly Father increases. When spending time in the Word slowly you will recognize patterns of how God does things time and time again. You will find out He is a love God and He does love you!!! Just look at the above verse. It says whatsoever we ask we do receive of Him! Thats a promise in the Word Halleljuah!!!! Of course there is the second half of the verse which tells us if we do what His Word says and those things which are pleasing in His sight. Why is obedience to the Word attached to receiving from Him? Obedience is an act of love that you can do and show God on a daily basis. Remember it says in the gospels that those who keep God word are those who love me and they will be loved of my Father also? So obedience taps you into the love that God has for you.
Lastly, you have to be fed right teaching on receiving from God. Some churches out there dont preach or share with their congregations that God does want them to be blessed spirit, soul, and body. This is a sad thing and all we can do is pray for them that they will throw off their religious traditions and preach what the Word of God says about such things. We have the Word of God and a mouth to speak it. We can we if all stand in agreement and receive that all of Gods people will come to the knowledge of the truth and the truth does set people free! Dont be afraid to sow the right teaching into your friends lives. Those are seeds going into their hearts and those words will not return void but they will accomplish that which we have sent them forth to do and they will propser and have great success! ( Isaiah 55:11)
So in closing, dont be afraid of walking in the promises that God has for you. They are there for you to walk in to the full till you overflow. He wants you to have all that He has laid out for you in His Word. If He didnt want you to have it He wouldnt have had it written and put there in the first place! So put Mark 11:22-24 into full motion and watch your Daddy God do some awesome and mighty things in your life day after day after day. Walk in the love that He has for you!!!

Peace – nothing missing and nothing broken in your lives
