Daily Bread
1 John 5:15 - And if we know that He hears us then if we ask we know that we possess whatever we requested when we asked it of Him.
John is speaking primarily about the relationship that he observed first hand between Jesus and the Father. When Jesus was about to raise Lazarus from the dead John reports that he lifted His eyes towards heaven and said, “I thank you Father that you have heard me. And I know that you always hear me” (John 11:41-42). This kind of confidence and faith is ours today if we are willing to enter into this kind of relationship. The joy and wonder of this kind of relationship with the Father will result in our receiving whatever we ask! We will not wonder if Father will answer rather we will know that we possess what we asked for. If your heart hungers for this kind of relationship with the Father then surely He will supply it.
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
