Big Healing Book - 1 John 5:14-15

1 John 5:14-15:

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Notes on 1 John 5:14-15:

How can you KNOW that what you’re requesting is God’s will? The foremost way to know is to know His Word on the matter! (You have to read His Word to know what is in it.) There are cases where you may have a direct word from Him about something. In such a case, that direct word will never contradict God’s written Word. In a case where God has already given you His Word in the Bible, you do not need any further word from Him. For example, you don’t need a direct word that He wants to heal you of a particular disease. You have His Word that His will is to heal you of ALL diseases! It’s a mistake to wait for a specific word when you have a general word. For another example, you don’t have to ask for a specific word that it’s okay to share Jesus with someone. He already told you as part of His Church to go into all the world and tell everyone the gospel.

We don’t know that He hears us AFTER we get what we ask for. We have confidence that He hears us and will do what we ask when we know UP FRONT what His will is.
