Rhapsody of Realities 7 November 2024: He Delights in Fulfilling Your Desires
Scripture: ..Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24).
Observe what the Lord Jesus said in our opening scripture; He clarifies that we can ask the Father anything in His Name, and it will be granted.
When you walk in love, your desires naturally align with His; therefore, you won’t ask for anything outside His will. He thus encourages us to ask and receive so that our joy may be full. What a blessed invitation! It shows the Father’s desire to bless us. Unlike earthly parents or others who may become weary of too many requests, God never grows weary of our many requests. He delights in answering us and fulfilling our desires.
Therefore, when you ask, believe that you receive. Jesus did not say to ask and wait indefinitely; He said to ask and receive.
This means from the moment you ask, start rejoicing and acting as though you already received because, in the spirit, it’s done.
We often deal with disappointments from people who don’t keep their promises, but God is not like that. He is faithful, and He
keeps His Word. Humans may fail, forget, or disappoint, but God never fails. 1 Peter 3:12 says, “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers…” Hallelujah!

In Hebrews 13:5 (AMPC), the Bible says, “…for He [God) Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. (| will) not, (l will] not, ( will) not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you down (relax My hold on you! (Assuredly not!].” Ponder those words for a moment and be overwhelmed by the Father’s love and desire for you to live in fullness of joy, peace, confidence, dominion and victory every day. He delights in you and in fulfilling your desires.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for our privilege and authority in prayer, and my joy is made full. I refuse to doubt or waver because your Word is ever dependable, ever-sure and ever-trustworthy. Thank you for always hearing me and granting my petitions, for indeed, your Word is yes and amen, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Matthew 7:7-11
Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent?
11 If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!
Mark 11:24
For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
1 John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.
15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.
