Jesus said If you abide (follow) in Him, then you can have what you have asked as representing Him. In other words, follow Him and then you can expect to receive from Him and as well be a fine representative of His.

John 15:7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. John 15:8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. AMPC

Although Jesus said this, many still expect that Jesus will give them favor even though they don’t follow Him. In fact, they ignore what Jesus said instead of being in agreement with Him. If you ignore what Jesus said you don’t even live in the Kingdom of God, you actually live in another kingdom and you follow some other way. Only you can make that choice. Know as well then, that the way you follow is your source —and Jesus is not.

You can pretend you love Him and keep calling on Him, but He doesn't even consider you a friend if you don't follow Him.

John 15:14 You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do. AMPC

Only when we keep doing what He said, are we His friend and of His Kingdom. Being His friend you will get updates and then be able to stay agreement with Him and have what you ask of Him. Doing Jesus’ will then is the condition of being His friend and receiving from Him.

That same concept correlates to having eternal life with Jesus. If when you stand before Him to be judged, you didn’t follow Him here, you won’t be leaving with Him for eternity there. He said many will say what they did for Him but the thing that was expected of them, they didn't do. They didn't do what was expected because they were not following Him. They were not getting updates from Jesus, therefore they will be confused and even surprised on that day when Jesus will have to say, I didn't know you, we weren't friends.

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? 23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

As you know, having had someone ignore you is quite irritating especially if you love that person. Don’t think Jesus isn’t irritated with you if you keep asking but haven't followed Him. Why is He frustrated? Because He wants to do for you. He wants you to represent Him and He wants you to live with Him for eternity, but, that can’t happen if you ignore Him. If you ignore Him then you are not His friend and it hurts Him. It hurts Him that He has to say He didn't know you.

It’s not too late to make it real with Jesus and be a true follower.

John 15:8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. AMPC
