Jesus said, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” [Matthew 21:22]
Wow, sounds great. What good news really. Just imagine receiving what you want and all you have to do is ask and believe. Well, this is true. However it is not easy as it sounds. This promise is conditional. There is no such thing as something for nothing. If you want to receive, you have to give something first. No pain no gain right? Jesus knows your every need (not greed) and is willing to give them to you provided you obey his commandments. For it is written in I John 3:21: “Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.”
Therefore don’t be carried away or misled by thinking or teachings that you will get everything only if you believe. In fact, asking God without obeying him would be like asking bread from someone after having robbed him.
