Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Today\u2019s anchor scripture shows us clearly that the new privilege of asking the Father in the Name of Jesus and receiving answers is tied to our joy. This belief of, if you pray, you do not need to get any answers. just love Jesus, He does not need to answer your prayers. <!--more-->when you get to heaven you will be fine. It is a lie! Jesus Himself said, when your prayers are answered, then your joy will be full, and My Name will be glorified.<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/JHN.16.26\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>John 16:<sup>26<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c<i>Then you will ask in my name. I\u2019m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf<\/i>\u201d Jesus is saying to us, do not think I will be there asking for you. No, you will come by yourself. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/JHN.16.27\">John 16:<sup>27<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<i>for the <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Father himself loves you dearly<\/i><\/b><\/span><i> because you love me and believe that I came from God<\/i>.\u201d (emphasis added). God loves you dearly, He wants to hear your voice. God wants to hear you Himself and it is a beautiful place to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/JHN.16.29-30\">John 16:<sup>29-30<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c<i>Then his disciples said, \u201cAt last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively. Now we understand that you know everything, and <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>there\u2019s no need to question you<\/i><\/b><\/span><i>. From this, we believe that you came from God.&#8221;<\/i> (emphasis added). They have an answer that brought illumination to them, but they said, now we believe you are from God. So, you can ask questions for illumination or you can ask questions for verification. You want to verify if the person is legit, you want to verify if you should employ this person. You ask the person questions, right? In this case, when Jesus answered their question for illumination, they said, we do not need to ask You questions for verification. So, even though it appeared they were only asking for illumination, Jesus&#8217; answer also sorted out their quest for verification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">They were not able to voice out the question, \u2018Are you sure You are the Son of God?\u2019 But by the time Jesus answered them, they said, \u2018now we believe that You are the Son of God.\u2019 I pray God will illuminate your heart and sort out every question or verification in the Name of Jesus. Yet illumination and verification are insufficient without the Holy Spirit. We still need the power of the Holy Spirit to keep us going. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/JHN.16.31-32\">John 16:<sup>31-32<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c<i>Jesus asked, \u201cDo you finally believe? But the time is coming\u2014indeed it\u2019s here now\u2014when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me<\/i>.\u201d Jesus was saying to them, \u2018You have information, you have gotten verification that I am the Son of God. But you are still going to be scattered. You are still going to abandon me, until you receive power then you can stand for Me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Information cannot replace the power of the Holy Spirit; the fact that you know the Bible, you know who Christ is can never replace the power and the person of the Holy Spirit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/JHN.16.33\">John 16:<sup>33<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<i>I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me.
