JESUS IS MORE THAN WILLING – Ask, Believe And Receive

Our heavenly Father is more than willing to fully supply us with everything that we need and everything that proceeds from Him is good and perfect. God doesn't give imperfect or shoddy gifts to His children, only the best – the good and perfect kind! And God doesn't change His mind when it comes to the gifts that He gives, they are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). 

James, the Lord’s half-brother was privileged to have this revelation and later inspired by the Holy Spirit to share it with the saints.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. – James 1:17 NKJV

Jesus is ready to meet all your needs, come to Him by faith, bring all your needs before Him. He wants you to be specific so you will know that He has met your needs. He encourages you to ask that you may receive and your joy may be full. Jesus loves you with an everlasting love and wants to establish fellowship with you personally. He wants you to share your heart with Him and He wants to do the same with you, and to that end He isn't satisfied with being your generic one-size-fits-all provider. He desires to specifically and relevantly supply your needs.

²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. – John 16:24 NKJV

Remember when Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding at Cana? (John 3) They went and took part in the festivities, who said Jesus wasn't social?! He went to a wedding not on a mission to preach the Gospel there but just to take part in the celebrations. When they ran out of wine, His mother Mary, came and asked Him to help out, now look at what Jesus did? He didn't start preaching on the evils of being drunk on wine and all such stuff that probably many modern-day believers would've gladly done thinking they are not compromising with the “world”.

Jesus didn't tell the people there to repent even though it is more than likely that they were good candidates for repentance. Instead He went ahead and made them the best wine they had ever tasted and lots of it too, isn't that just like our Father – to provide exceedingly abundantly, above and beyond – and the celebrations ensued. The guests even began to blame the MC for keeping the best wine up to that moment! That’s Jesus providing what was needed right there and then, how relevant, how merciful! Contrary to what many think today, Jesus isn't out to put a damper on your party, invite Him to get involved in your daily undertakings and see His abundant supply brighten your day.     

When Jesus asked Bartimaeus the blind beggar (Mark 10:46-52), “what do you want me to do for you?”, it wasn't because Jesus didn't see that he was blind, that was obvious to everyone around but I submit to you Jesus saw all the needs of that blind beggar and granted him the opportunity to articulate which ones he wanted taken care of.  You will recall his cry was for the Lord to have mercy on him, now that’s quite general a prayer. Jesus gave him the opportunity to make it more specific. If the man had mentioned more than just his eyesight, I believe he would have received more than just his eyesight.
