WILL JESUS?

Will JESUS?

Answer your prayers i.e. your request made to Him regardless of your spiritual condition before Him? Has He ever done so? The answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! Where in the word of God can we find this? HERE: Mat 8:29-32(a) And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go.

When these two men possessed of the devil "spoke" it was the demons within them that used his vocal chords to speak to Jesus. Their first question to Him at the time was "What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Here we find that these devils absolutely knew who Jesus was. Their second question to the Lord was "art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" Then comes their third statement to Jesus "If thou cast us out!" This statement was the same ploy used by Satan himself in the wilderness temptation when He said to Jesus "Mat 4:3(b) If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Here we see the same (seed of doubt, the same implication put to Jesus using the word "IF", they knew very well what He was going to do to them, yet they used the word "if" to implant the idea of "maybe" in the mind of Jesus rather than the "facts" of the event that was to take place.) They i.e. the devils also knew that their "suggestion" to Him would mean nothing against their wiles, then they made their request to Jesus that when He does what He came there to do they tried to outsmart their Creator once again by their request to avoid destruction and annihilation. They put forth their request to God, "suffer us to go away into the herd of swine" they said.

You see "demons" need and require a living creature to possess in order to fulfill their destructive intent. They just couldn't accept the idea of being cast out into outer darkness before their appointed time of final destruction, so they made their request to Jesus to inhabit and possess the living "swine" a filthy scavenger rooting in the mud rather than not possessing any one thing living. Jesus knew their skillful plans and He knew what the herd of swine would also do, but the possessing demons very obviously did not know the reaction of the swine or they would not have made the specific request to Jesus to enter in and possess them. Demons are NOT all knowing just because they are supernatural. They are limited by God as to just how far they can be in the know about reality.

Jesus, granted to them their request and they left the possessed men simply by the command of the Lord using the word "GO!" Now, the rest of the verses! And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. Mark says that the herd of swine was (they were about two thousand;) and since Matthew 8:28 says there met him two possessed with devils. We can deduce that since there were about 2000 rooting pigs nearby, that each man healed carried within them about a 1000 demons each in each man.

Jesus allowed and granted their request to enter into the feeding swine. HOW MUCH MORESO WILL HE GRANT THE REQUEST OF THE ONE WHO FOLLWES HIM IN TRUTH? Jesus will answer your request folks, all you need do is acknowledge Him as your Lord and Savior, and He will withhold "no good thing" from you when you ask in faith believing. Psa 84:11,12 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

When Jesus grants the request of devils, how can you NOT have faith in Him to grant your request of Him. When I first discovered this truth written here, my faith in Jesus multiplied immensely as I realized His willingness to hear and grant my request. There is however a stipulation, a condition for the follower of Jesus Christ. Isa 1:16-20 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. If you do NOT meet these criteria then all that's left for you is the following: Isa 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Whether you want to believe it or not (Salvation IS CONDITIONAL) to obedience to the word of God. One cannot just find a local church, get involved, receive baptism, become a member, and then just believe they are saved. It takes both faith and obedience to solidify personal faith in Jesus without which "no man shall see the Lord!" Heb 12:12-17 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

The idea taught today of being under "GRACE" doesn't mean that just because your under grace that your salvation is cemented in stone. As the above verse clearly identifies "one can (FAIL) of the grace of God by disobedience to God's word in the slightest degree. Then comes the "rejection" as did Esau's rejection who because he was rejected could not find true repentance. Your milk toast religion taught by false preachers i.e. false prophets of today IS NOT biblical religion folks. It's a watered-down false religion and a watered-down false faith, it's a condemning fake religion. If you doubt the word of God, you cannot dwell with God.

Why didn't Jesus hear the plea of Esau? Because Esau was not grateful for the birthright given him by God and sold it for a bowl of "beans" lentils. Being ungrateful to God comes in a myriad of ways and the single most identifiable of these ways is the rejection by today's milk toast Christians who despite themselves know what the word of God teaches, but follow the traditions of man above the written word of God, and since Jesus is the WORD Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. You do not have GOD, you only think you do! Many will find out too late, that their religion that they believed and followed after was a useless religion of non-effect towards their redemption and ultimate salvation when Jesus says to them: Mat 7:22,23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

YOU either get "it RIGHT" or you "don't GET IT at all", there is NO other choice!

You cannot get it right without "asking the Lord" to be your teacher! Leave your phony fake ministers, preachers, pastors, and teachers sitting in the dust of their own choice, or burn "eternally" to death with them walking in the flames of the Lake of Fire they have chosen and imposed upon you because they are incapable of truth.
