| 0:00.0 | Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:30.0 | 1 verse from John 15 and I'm certainly drawn in this chapter to John chapter 15 verse seven |
| 0:36.4 | because it's the verse one which this podcast is based. If you abide in me and my words abide |
| 0:42.8 | in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. We pray according to God's word |
| 0:47.9 | and the more his word fills us and we abide in it and we pray according to it. We ask whatever |
| 0:54.4 | we wish according to his word and it will be done for us. But then you get two verses later |
| 1:00.8 | and you see this amazing breathtaking life altering. Verse John 15 9 has the father has loved me. |
| 1:11.2 | So just think about that. How much does the father love the son? A lot, an infinite, perfect love. |
| 1:16.5 | Jesus says as the father has loved me so I have loved you. You just soak that in today. |
| 1:22.7 | Jesus loves you with the same intensity and breath and width and depth of love with which the |
| 1:31.2 | father loves him. He loves you and so he gives this command abide in my love. Just live in my |
| 1:39.1 | love for you. That's a good command to live in today. Live today and God's love for you. |
| 1:45.8 | Don't doubt the depth and breadth and width of God's love for you today. Live in it and then |
| 1:52.6 | how do we do that? Verse 10, if you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love. Just as I've kept |
| 1:58.1 | my father's commandments and abide in his love. So the way to abide in his love is to walk |
| 2:03.5 | according to his word that goes back up to abiding in his word and obeying it. And when we do this |
| 2:10.6 | verse 11, these things have spoken to you that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be |
| 2:17.6 | full. Don't you want to live with fullness of joy in you with super natural joy filling you |
| 2:24.8 | and abide in the love of God for you and his word to you and walk in his ways and you will |
| 2:30.9 | experience fullness of joy. These are promises straight from God. So we pray God help us to live |
| 2:38.6 | like this. Help us to abide in your love. We praise you for your love for us. God, we praise you. |
| 2:45.3 | Jesus, for loving us with the same love that the Father has for you, the same love that you share |
