Stop Praying for What You Already Have!



By Pastor Darryl Woodson

Luke 19:17_...because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.´
Romans 8:32_...how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
2 Peter 1:3_as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,...

When Jesus is center in our lives, we have all things because God has given them all to us through Him. Some of the things that many people desire in their lives include becoming wives, to become prosperous people. Or to get good jobs to be able to get a good house, develop skill to be famous or to have a good education and attain status in society. It is a human natural way of thinking, desiring after things that are natural and this introduces a constant strive in a man´s life.

Yet there is a better way of life; to live by the knowledge that once you were dead and in darkness, and have now been adopted into light as a son who has been given all things, plus an inheritance.
John 1:12-13_But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.


And truly, when men strive for things on the outside it´s because they seek joy, contentment, prosperity and to be loved; yet all these things are given freely at Salvation Day!
Matthew 6:33_But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

At the point of knowing that God´s righteousness is all you need to seek and all these things will be added unto you, you begin to pray and ask aright from God.
James 4:3_You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss,…

This unfortunately happens either because we do not know that we have been given these things or because the devil has robbed it from us. Yet we can reclaim what rightfully belongs to us and has been given to us, the things given to us, and the good works that we are supposed to walk in.
Luke 17:21_For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.¨
Ephesians 2:10_For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,…
Matthew 5:16_, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

God´s seed remains in you and all things have been given to you to live a full life (full purpose).
Colossians 1:27_who is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
1 Corinthians 6:17_But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
1 John 3:9_Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
