Re: John 14:13-14, Does it Really Mean "Anything?"

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.

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.

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.
