John 15:7-8:
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Notes on John 15:7-8:
This is not a blanket promise. There are two conditions. You must abide in Christ, and His words must abide in you. If you meet these conditions, you can ask what you will and it will be done unto you. Do you want to be healed? Then meet these conditions, and you can ask for healing and get it. However, realize that your “asking” is really just coming to take by faith something that God already says belongs to you. You are not trying to change God’s mind in the matter.
This is far from the talk about the sovereign will of God that we hear so much about these days. God has given us more freedom than most people realize! YOU can decide what you want to receive from God. Of course, if His words abide in you, you already know God’s will in a particular matter and you can line up your will with His. Through study of God’s Word, you can know for sure that healing is God’s will for you.
Even if there were no healing promises in the Bible, this verse alone would prove that you can ask for healing and get it. Your Father is glorified when you ask for things and receive them. He wants you to do this even more than you want to do it!
