The Simplicity of Prayer

The Simplicity of Prayer

This is one of the startling statements of the Gospel: “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, that will I do.” Notice Jesus said, “You ask-and I will do it.”
This is a most wonderful thing-prayer simplified.

You do the asking,” Jesus says, “and I will do the doing.” Jesus says all authority has been given unto Him in heaven and on earth. Jesus’ power is unlimited, and now He challenges you to do unlimited asking. He is big enough to do anything you ask Him to do.

His authority is great enough to see that any request from you is honoured. For that unsaved friend, He says, “You ask for his salvation and I will do it.” It may be your church is cold and your pastor as bound as Lazarus in the grave clothes of convention, yet you ask and Jesus says, “I will do it.”

He will warm the Church. You ask for a revival Jesus will “do it.” Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father and whatsoever you ask of the Father in His Almighty Name, He says, “I will do it.” That loved one is sick; ask for healing, and as surely as God is on His throne, so surely must He do it.

You ask for the finances for that undertaking for the Lord: your business is to ask; His business is to see that it is done. Behind everything stand these words of Christ, “I will do it.”

There is no reason for our weakness; there is no reason for our sickness. There is no reason for a fruitless Church or ministry. There is no reason for powerless lives.
You resolve your life into the service of asking challenging the Omnipotence of the living, reigning Christ and He will take care of His end of the deal.

You are a partner with Him now; you need not write “limited” to this partnership because His company is not limited: He is able to meet the demands; He is able to finance any undertaking. The great and mighty Christ is willing for you to ask that He may give. Weakness is a crime now, poverty of spirit a sin, all you need to do is ask and He will act.
