Request, JA. 1:6-8 (The Mirror Bible), “Faith must prompt your requests (not your needs). Faith is the stabilizing factor; otherwise you become driven by emotions that get out of control like rough seas tossed by tempest winds. A haphazard request makes it impossible to interpret God’s wisdom accurately; someone of two opinions remains jittery in all his judgments and seems always lost for direction.”

When we have a request, let’s ask in faith and not in presumption. Let your request be anchored in the wisdom of Christ. James writes, “let your faith be anchored in Christ”.

Heb. 6:19-20 (The Mirror Bible), “Our hearts and minds are certain; anchored securely within the innermost courts of God’s immediate Presence; beyond the veil. By going there on our behalf, Jesus pioneered a place for us and removed every type of obstruction that could possibly distance us from the promise. In Him we are represented for all time; He became our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. We now enjoy the same privileged access He has.”

Christ made the way so we wouldn’t be tossed back and forth in our faith or hope. (I like to say ‘be a stable Christian, not a salad christian which is tossed back and forth!’). Let’s anchor our request in the love and hope of Holy Spirit, Jesus and Daddy God. Then when we ask, we can be assured our request will be fulfilled!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
