TO DEMAND AS OUR RIGHT !

TO DEMAND AS OUR RIGHT: Let others examine the Scriptures in the Greek New Testament. The Greek word here translated "Ask" means "Demand." Or, "whatsoever you shall demand in my name (word), that will I do." We are not demanding it of God. When we pray, we ask of God in Jesus Name. But we are demanding this of the devil who is the god of this world. Actually, the Greek is more explicit than the English translation. The great reads, "whatsoever you shall demand as your right. . ." (Not as as a favor). Whatever we ask or demand as our right, Jesus said, "I will do it." We have the right to demand that Satan takes his hands off our finances if we are having difficulty making in his meat. We have the right to demand that Satan take his hands off our bodies if we are having difficulties in that area. We have a right to demand that Satan take his hands off for our family members if we are having difficulty in that area. Now, everyone has a will we are all free moral agents we have a right to choose whom we will serve ! Whatever our needs may be, it is our privilege, our right, in Christ to ask, to demand, that these needs being met. We see an example of this in the book of A. Peter and John saw a crippled man begging arms at the gate called Beautiful. Peter stopped and said, "Look on us." The man looked at them, expecting to receive a coin. Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk" (Acts 3:6). What was Peter doing ? He was calling the man healed: Peter demanded in Jesus Name that the crippled get up and walk. He didn't pray that God will do it. He knew Jesus had said that what ever we demand, or ask, in His name (word), He would do. Just before Jesus said, "whatsoever you shall ask [demand] in my name, that will I do," He said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also. . ." Peter was doing the works Jesus did when he called for the healing of the crippled man. Even though we pray for the sick today --- and this is certainly scriptural (James 5:14-16) -- Jesus never prayed for the sick. It is the prayer of faith that works ! And Bible faith, only comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God ! (Romans 10:17). Jesus said, ". . . The works that I do shall he do also. . ." If we just prayed for the sick and got results, we wouldn't be doing the works Jesus did. Jesus laid hands on the sick, but He never prayed for them. He would command the devil to leave, or he That would just say, "Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee" (Matthew 8:13). So when Jesus said in (John 14:13), "And whatsoever you shall ask [demand] in my name (word), that will I do," he That was not talking about praying to God the Father; He was talking about doing the same works He did.
