NO… Because not everything asked for is not received. James 4:3explains why. James 4:3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.While this verse is talking about money it is an example of those things that wont be given when the motive is wrong or the Father is not glorified. The name it and claim it crowd likes to use John 14
Of course ! How do you think I received my 6th Olympic Gold medal despite having never trained or competed? Granted, there were a lot of positive confessions used in conjunction with prayer.
Exactly. You can’t ask God to say, stop existing. You can’t ask God to become unholy. You can’t ask God to do what it is not His will to do.Let’s say we are all out to eat and I say, You can order anything you’d like. Clearly, I don’t mean that you can order the stars to fall or a brand new Mercedes. I am speaking about what’s on the menu. (And, as I once say in a Dennis the Menace cartoon, someone said, I said ‘anything,’ not ‘everything’! (SMILE)Likewise, there is the assumption that the people Jesus was speaking to understood that anything did NOT mean that God’s will could be subverted for our own personal reasons.
1 John 3:22And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ
Does all ever really mean all? Does anything mean ANY THING? Does nothing impossible witb God mean nothing, really? Short answer YES! But you will freak out when you read this or some of you will. In Luke 1:37
Rhema is also used in Matthew 12:36But I say unto you, That every idle word [rhema] that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Literally means barren if you check. A word spoken is rhema, logos is written. A word spoken deals with a living or freshly spoken. So your verse could read that you will be judged for freshly speaking words that are lifeless or barren. As opposed to speaking living words that have come from the mouth of God. God NEVER speaks barren words, His spoken word is rhema, living. Men can and do speak dead, barren words, words with no faith, negative, dead things all the time and we will be judged for that. God’s Rhema, the freshly spoken word of God can never fail to come to pass.

Let’s use scripture to interpret it, what say you?(James 1:6KJV) But let him
Aaron, that doesn’t really speak to the question of whether ANYTHING is all-inclusive.
As I have said before, in other places, you cannot ask in faith for something that is contrary to God’s will.Again the scriptures reply:(James 4:3
Therefore, anything is qualified! In other words, it’s not just anything, but anything… …THAT’S IN GOD’S WILL.
