Assurance of Answered Prayer
John 16:24
"Until now
you have asked for nothing in My Name,
ask and you shall receive
that your joy may be full."
"In My Name"
refers to the blood of Christ.
"In My Name"
refers to the righteousness of Christ,
the sacrifice of Christ, the mediation of Christ.
Are we using that as the basis of our requests?
"Ask and you shall receive"
so we will be equipped for good works.
So we will be able to carry on and have good success.
"that your joy may be full"
refers to the pleasure
we have in seeing the lost saved,
the Gospel spread, souls converted.
"that your joy may be full"
refers to the satisfaction of seeing
the interest of our Redeemer thrive and flourish
and the kingdom of Satan weakened.
