If you abide in Me and my words abide in you Ask whatever you will and it will be done for you. When we abide in the Lord and let His words abide in us, We actually are one with Him and He works within us. Then when we ask in prayer for whatever we will It is not only we who are praying He too is praying, in our praying. This kind of prayer is related to fruit bearing and will surely be answered.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and I set you. That you should go forth and bear fruit, And that your fruit should remain, That whatever you ask the Father in my name, He may give you.
This dear hymn embodies the depths of the heart of the processed and consummated Triune God to bring His believers into Him and He in them to the end that they and He, He and they would have a focused corporate living of bringing others into the very God that they love, enjoy, and live in. Hallelujah for our God!!
