When you are developing a strong personal relationship with the Lord your confidence in Him is so magnified because you have the assurance of Him...
BUT
What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God?By clicking the link you will be taken to a site that can explain it so well, I think everyone should test their relationship at times to see if you are living up to the potential God has for you!
This part was especially true of having that relationship with God!
"Those who have a personal relationship with God include God in their daily lives. They pray to Him, read His word, and meditate on verses in an effort to get to know Him even better. Those who have a personal relationship with God pray for wisdom (James 1:5), which is the most valuable asset we could ever have. They take their requests to Him, asking in Jesus’ name (John 15:16). Jesus is the one who loves us enough to give His life for us (Romans 5:8), and He is the one who bridged the gap between us and God." ne thing taht is really important to understand is when we make our requests known to Him, by asking in Jesus name. the scripture goes on to say He is faithful to answer our prayers,, but we need a better understanding of "asking in Jesus' name" When we ask in His name it isn't just tacking words on the end of the prayer . It carries a rich meaning that is easy to miss. In the Bible, to ask in His name means to ask in His character... You must know His character to expect your prayers to reach the ear of God. You just don't ask for anything you wish you had. If you know Jesus's mercy, then ask for mercy; if you know that Jesus healed the sick, ask for healing for yourself and others; if you know Jesus’ provision, you ask for provision; etc. You can see how knowing Him is important in the area of praying to Him for His help in the matters of life!
One thing I know about Jesus is that He is my deliverer. Many times I pray that He will deliver me from my situation. And He is always faithful!
Therefore, we need to know about Jesus’s many names!
