In this message we look at John 15:7-9 and the implications the "abiding word" has for our prayer lives. Jesus promises, "if my word abides in you, ASK WHATEVER YOU WILL and it will be done for you..." We must ask, what does it mean to have the "word abide" within us? The big takeaway for this message is that the "abiding word" is the word that we accommodate, adjust to and orient the entirety of our lives around in order to embody and obey Jesus. We must treat Jesus and His word as the "orienting center" of our lives so that our "asking" is more and more aligned and in agreement with what is on God's heart and mind; thus, making it impossible for the Father not to answer the cries of His people.
