TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it you. John 16:23
​
​Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
23. A I T D Y S A M N V V I S U Y W Y S A T F I M N H W G I Y

Notes on verse:

This is a reference to Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came and sorrow turned to joy. This is a reference also to the “last days” which were inaugurated after His resurrection and the Spirit’s coming. After His departure and the Sending of the Spirit, believers will no longer ask Him since He is not present. Instead, they will ask the Father in His name.

The “in that day” means from the first resurrection morning to the end of time. Jesus is teaching them here the manner in which to pray to get results. Pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, and God the Father will give you whatever you ask for.

Notice the verily, verily? Those two words together tell us that the statement is absolute. It will happen.
