HOW TO RECEIVE FROM GOD

EPHESIANS 2:8-9 (KJV, GNB), JOHN 1:12 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast about it. *But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

God provides for us and does everything He does, because of Christ and His grace; not because we ask or we deserve it. We then receive what God has done and provided through Christ and His grace, by having faith in Christ and the grace of God.

Everything received from God is received the same way we received our salvation – by faith in Christ. It is free. Christ has paid for it. Because you love Him (by receiving His love, and putting your faith in Christ), God has freely prepared and provided great and unbelievable things for you. By His Spirit you know these things, (1 Cor.2:9-12). “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Rom.8:32, NIV).

If peradventure God leads you by His Spirit to do anything, it is never to pay or qualify for what He has provided for you. It is only to prepare yourself to receive what He has provided for you by Christ and His grace, (Josh. 6:1-5). Jesus never asked anybody to pay to receive anything from Him. Never put your faith in yourself or anything you do; keep your faith in Christ. Ask and you shall receive. The prayer of faith (James 5:15) is prayer made in the name (authority) of Christ, with confidence that God will answer because of Christ, (John 16:24).

ACTION POINT:

WITH THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST AND WITH CONFIDENCE IN CHRIST, ASK GOD FOR WHAT YOU DESIRE FROM HIM AND RECEIVE IT.
