The Confidence that we have in Him

I John 5:14-15

this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Between a father and a son, there is a confidence that exists. A son will always have confidence in his father because of the relationship that exists between them. When the relationship grows soar the confidence seize.

In the beginning, Adam and Eve had this confidence, when God comes down to them. God was always visiting them. But it came after they ate the forbidden fruit that they lost their confidence in God.

Genesis 3: 7-8 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

There is nothing that brings you such confidence as a life that is well-pleasing to God. When Daniel's life pleased God he could ask to be protected in the Lions' den. But you can not ask with confidence until there is a perfect union between you and God.

How do we please God? By being loyal to Him.

Loyalty means giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution.

Loyalty is obedience, truthful, faithful, trust, devoted, committed, dedicated, allegiance. It is a word that sums up what God expect for Him to be pleased with us. It should be a lifestyle.

When we are loyal we will please him and we will always pray with the confidence that he will hear us, if he hears us then we are sure of an answer.

This is a season of Miracle. Miracle will become a daily affair with you when you are loyal to God.

When you are loyal to God you can speak as Jesus did in John 11:41-42 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Make a decision today, commit to be loyal to God and stand by the decision and you will see a dramatic change in your prayer life. You will pray and get instant answers. You will grow in confidence to pray some prayers that you have never been praying before. Like praying for the sick or asking for a change in your environment. It is so simple to be a miracle worker, all it takes is a man that pleases God. Loyalty is the key to pleasing Him.
