What do you want Me to do for you?
How would you answer that question? Think about it in the perspective of today- but also of tomorrow, and of all the unknown beyond tomorrow.
In Matthew 20 Jesus was in Jericho, and two blind men got his attention. Jesus stopped and asked them this question. Hey- they were blind! What answer would you expect from them? “We want to see!”
In Matthew 21 Jesus is talking about prayer, and of praying in faith. He is trying to help us into the place where we resonate totally with the wil of God. God is good. He loves us. Jesus says, Whatever things you qask in prayer, believing, you will receive.
I want a lot of things. I hope and sincerely pray that what I want is not purely selfish. But I ask the salvation of MY family: I KNOW that God loves each of them, and it is His will they come to know and love Him. Can I claim this promise for others, for MY ‘others’? I do!
What do you want Me to do for you?
We can be filled with God’s Spirit, and keep on being filled. But we must ask! And we must we willing to empty ourselves of the ‘stuff’ that might hinder us from coming alive in Christ. Shall we pray?:
Lord, I want You to help me pray powerfully, according to Your good, acceptable, and perfect will (Romans 12) and with the help of Your Holy Spirit (Romans 8.)
