Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 329 – John 15:7-8 – And It Will Be Given You – Growing As Disciples

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:7-8 (NIV)

Remain In Me

How have you been remaining in me? How have you been allowing my words to remain in you? It is my joy to remain in you. There is no place I would rather be than in your presence. There is nothing I would rather hear than your word speaking to me. Drawing near to you is not a duty for me. Meeting with you on a daily basis is not something on my o do list that I must check off before my day is over. I am like a thirsty soul crawling across a desert. You are like a desert oasis to me. You feed my hunger. You satisfy my thirst. You refresh my life. You fill me up when I am empty. I never tire of meeting with you. I want to know and love you with all my heart and mind and soul. I want to live and walk in an intimate relationship with you. I want to know your thoughts. I want to do your will. I want to pray prayers that you will hear and answer. I want to bear an abundance of fruit for your kingdom and your glory. In every way I want to live and demonstrate to the world that I am your disciple. These all sound like prayers of yours, is that right? Yes, these are prayers of mine, but they do not come from me. Where do these prayers come from then? These are prayers that you have given me to pray. Yes, I have.

Let’s talk about these prays of yours. Say them to me again. It is my prayer that I will remain in you and your words will remain in me. It is my prayer that I will love you with all my heart and soul and mind. It is my prayer that I will know you, your will, and your ways. It is my prayer that I will hear your voice as I meet with you in your word. It is my prayer that you will fill me up and refresh my life as I enter your presence. It is my prayer that I will live and walk in an intimate relationship with you. It is my prayer that you will guide me to pray prayers that you will hear and answer. It is my prayer that I will bear an abundance of fruit for your kingdom and glory. It is my prayer that the fruit that you bear through my life will demonstrate to the world that I am your disciple. Do you believe that I have given you all these prayers to pray? There is no doubt in my heart and mind that you have given me these prayers to pray. Do you believe that I will hear and answer all these prayers of yours? There is no doubt in my heart and mind that you will hear and answer every one of these prayers. Why is that? The prayers that you give me to pray you will most certainly hear and answer. Yes, I will.

Lord, I will remain in you and allow your words to remain in me. Help me to pray prayers that are according to your will and can be heard and answered. It is the desire of my heart to be a disciple that bears and abundance of fruit for the glory of God. Amen

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide- God’s Word – John 15:7 – If My Words Remain In You – Growing As Disciples

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 15:7 (NIV)

Vitally Connected

Will you remain in me? Will you allow my words to remain in you? Those are two very important questions. You must not take them lightly or pass over them quickly. I want to you to deeply consider these questions. Why is that? I don’t doubt the importance of these questions. I would like you to teach me why they are vitally important. You have used a good word. What word was that? You used the word vitally. The word vitally is closely related to the word vitality. Do you want to live vitally connected to me so that your life is filled with my vitality? I want to live my life vitally connected to you. I want to live a life filled with your vitality. What would that look like? How will I know if I am vitally connected to you? How can I be certain that I am living a life filled with your vitality? Those are all very good questions.

To live your life vitally connected to me, my word must remain in you. You must let my word dwell in your richly. You must hunger and thirst for my word. You must feast on my word. You must allow my word to change your heart and transform your mind. How can I do all of that? If you meditate on my word day and night it will change your heart and transform your mind. You will know the truth of my word and it will set you free to live your life fully with and for me. My thoughts will become your thoughts. My ways will become your ways. You will know me. You will know and do my will.

You asked, “How will I know if I am vitally connected to you?” Yes, I did. As my word remains in you, your thoughts and words and deeds will come into alignment with my will and my ways. You will think thoughts, speak words, and do deeds that are consistent with my word. You will be made able to pray prayers that I will hear and answer. You will want what I want. You will ask for my will to be accomplished. You want to bear much fruit for my kingdom and bring glory to my name. I will hear and answer your prayers. I will bear much fruit through your life. That is how you will know that you are vitally connected to me. That is how you and everyone else will know that you are truly one of my disciples. This is how you will know for certain that you are vitally connected to me. That is the prayer of my heart. This is what I want. That is very good. That is what I will give to you. I will hear and answer your prayer.

Lord, help me to remain in you and your word. Fill my heart and mind and soul with your word. Teach me how to live and pray according to your purposes and plans. Show me what to ask for in prayer. I trust you will hear and answer my prayers to you. Amen
