“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” --John 15.7

I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.-- John 15.15

You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. --John 15.16
