The Pattern for Receiving

What this episode covers

Today, Bishop Rodgers continues to teach from John 15:7-10 on the "The Pattern for Receiving." Branches of a vine have no choice of staying or leaving, unlike believers in Christ. We have choice rather if we want to continue to abide or remain in Christ or leave. Remaining in Christ means obeying His commands. When we obey His commands, we have influence with God. This means our lives are regulated by the Word of God and we have answered prayers. Simply, we know the Word of God is sufficient to control our conduct and affections, so our prayers can be heard. This is contingent on the basis we don't have any iniquity in our hearts. In order to receive, or to have answered prayers, we must respond to Christ's love with total dedication, commitment and obedience. We pray as you listen to this message, it will cause you to evaluate your love walk with Christ and with others. We pray you and your family will remain (abide) with Christ all the days of your life. Have a safe and bless week.
