ask whatever you wish and it will take place for you.

John 15 v 7 " If you remain in union with me and my sayings remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will take place for you "

Mark 11 v 24  This is why I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for, have faith that you have received them, and you will have them.

Matthew 21 v 22 And all the things you ask in prayer, having faith, you will receive.”

When did this stop and why ?  Was it only for the 'Twelve' ?  Was it only for the Anointed of the 1st Century ? 

The Governing Body say they are not inspired of God. But the Bible says the scriptures are inspired of God. 

So, when did this inspiration stop ?

If the GB are, which they present themselves to be, a follow on from the '12 and the older men', the first Christians, then why is the CCJW and Watchtower in such a mess ? Why are they not inspired by God's Holy spirit ? 

It's such a simple question. Just reason on it. IF, God wants / needs to have / wants to use, an Organisation of humans, the why isn't he inspiring them with Holy spirit ? 

I'm not suggesting the 'laying on of hands', or 'miracles of material things'. But why not true guidance ?

Just read those three scriptures at the top again. You can see Jesus' promises. But they are not being fulfilled.

Why ?

Hi 4Jah2me,

Maybe Jesus wanted that they begin praying? Maybe they were not so good at that at all? Maybe that is why Jesus exaggerated a little bit saying that we would get what ever we ask if we really believe?

Here is a list of scriptures that might help to understand what we can get through prayer.

 

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that no matter what we ask according to his will, he hears us. 15  And if we know that he hears us concerning whatever we are asking, we know that we are to have the things we ask for, since we have asked them of him.

Matthew 26:39 And going a little way forward, he fell facedown, praying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will.”

Luke 5:16 However, he often went into the desolate areas to pray.

 

Luke 21:36 Keep awake, then, all the time making supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”

 

James 4:3 When you do ask, you do not receive because you are asking for a wrong purpose, so that you may spend it on your fleshly desires.

 

1 Timothy 2:1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made concerning all sorts of men, 2  concerning kings and all those who are in high positions, so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness.

 

Luke 11:1 Now he was in a certain place praying, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him: “Lord, teach us how to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”2  So he said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: ‘Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our bread according to our daily needs. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is in debt to us; and do not bring us into temptation.’”

 

Luke 11:8  I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything because of being his friend, certainly because of his bold persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. 9  So I say to you, keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened. 11  Indeed, which father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he also asks for an egg, will hand him a scorpion? 13 Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!”

 

 

Ephesians 6:18 while with every form of prayer and supplication you carry on prayer on every occasion in spirit. And to that end stay awake, constantly making supplication in behalf of all the holy ones.

 

Acts 4:24 Sovereign Lord, you are the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, 25  and who said through holy spirit by the mouth of our forefather David, your servant: ‘Why did nations become agitated and peoples meditate on empty things? 26  The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers gathered together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one.’ 27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, 28  to do what your hand and counsel had determined beforehand to occur. 29 And now, Jehovah, give attention to their threats, and grant to your slaves to keep speaking your word with all boldness,

I don't think Jesus was talking to 'us'. I think Jesus was only talking to the Anointed. 

That is why I think a True Anointed remnant will appear soon. The Anointed know who they are, but how ?

Because they are anointed with God's Holy Spirit.  The GB, by their actions have proved not to be truly anointed.

I am of the opinion that this 'world' will continue for at least another 10 years, because an earthly Organisation has to be in place that is totally different from the rest of the 'world'. God's Organisation has to be pure and clean.

It seems to me that no one has real faith anymore. Even JWs seem to doubt the power of God and Christ.

JWs seem quite happy to be in an immoral organisation, just because they say it is less immoral than others.

@Kosonen You wrote that  " Maybe that is why Jesus exaggerated a little bit saying that we would get what ever we ask if we really believe? "

I don't think Jesus exaggerated. I think the Anointed lack faith in Jesus' words.
