“And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.”
1 John 5:14 NLT
If we take this verse out of context we assume God is a genie and will give us what we want. However, if we read it in context we see that this verse implies that when we ask for eternal life God gives it to us when we believe in His only Son Jesus. Having said that the verse does say,’ for anything that pleases Him’.If we interceed in compassion for an individual God hears us. If we are in a spiritual battle and ask for His help, He hears us. When it is not about us and our flesh, He is switched on.
For we walk not according to the flesh , but the Spirit. Paul says: for teh law of the Spirit of live in Christ Jesus sets us free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). Walking in the Spirit is what God responds to, because we are attuned to His Spirit and His will. Walk in the Spirit! Amen!
