"Ask ... that your joy may be full"
Dr. Frank Cimino, Jr.
"And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about Father. In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. "I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father." John 16:23-28 NKJ.
What a beautiful promise! "It works for me" as the television star said. It works for anyone. The Lord has blessed me in every way. I always take the opportunity to thank Him in private and publicly. Jesus is my Lord. Even though I fail to keep His word often, my heart is to "do the will of my Father".
People ask me why I believe the words I speak about the Lord. I believe in every sunrise and the sun has never failed to rise. I believe in every Word of God, and the Word has never failed to be true. God in His infinite wisdom has placed the treasure of His love and understanding of His Word where a child can find it, and at the same time hid it from the unbelieving, and the untrusting. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe." 1 Cor. 1:18-21.
These Words of God are Life to those that are Sick, they are Peace to those that are in confusion and Fear. They are Wisdom to those who seek Knowledge, and They are Eternal Life for all those who Believe. If I only cared about your money and knew something that could do all of the above and did not tell you, what would you think?
