Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7
God wants us to know that He is a good God, a loving Father that wants to give us good things. God is our provider, he wants us to be dependent upon him. A Father does not expect his children to provide and feed themselves, the Father is the provider in the Family. The protector and strength of the family unit. God wants us, his children to cleave to him to be drawn to him that we may love him because we have learned and experienced his love and care for us.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1 John 5:14
God hears our prayers, he knows the desires of our hearts and wants to give us good things. It is his will that we prosper and be in good health. What Father does not want to see his children grow strong and health, to see them prosper and succeed in life. God our Father is our example and wants us to have confidence in the skills and abilities that he has prepared in us. God has plans for good for our lives, He gives us power, the ability to gain wealth. He gives us the gifting and abilities to succeed, God want to teach us to be providers as He in turn is our provider. He wants us to be strong and very courageous. We need to have confidence in the abilities God has placed in us.
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Phil 1:6
It’s Christ is me my hope of glory, my success is based on the strength and ability God has worked in me. Our Father not only teaches us but imparts that ability, he puts himself in us that we can be like him. Paul said it is no longer I that lives but Christ in me. I received the Spirit of God, the inheritance the nature and life of God. When I believed and ask the Lord to come into my heart and take over my life, the Spirit of the Holy Spirit came upon me and birthed Christ in me the new life that I live is by the living faith of Jesus Christ that lives and abides in me.
God has come down to redeem man and restore him in right relationship with God. God does not want us separated from him, but wants us to walk in fellowship with him. He wants to communicate and spend time with us, he wants us to learn of him, received from him. It says that as many that have received him, gave he them power to become sons of God. We have the built in ability to life like God, we have his DNA, his nature, his Spirit living in us.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
It’s his life and power that came into my life and transformed my life that I may know him, that I may experience his love and life for myself. We are joined together with Christ to have a new and living relationship with the Father that was not available by any other way then through Jesus Christ that gave his life that we may live.
It’s so good to be a part of the family of God.
