It is Written:
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:21‭-‬23‬
[21] Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God [22] and receive from Him anything we ask, because we keep His commands and do what pleases Him. [23] And this is His command: to believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.

It is Written:
John 16:13-15
[13] But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the Truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come. [14] He will glorify me because it is from me that He will receive what He will make known to you. [15] All that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what He will make known to you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭16:22‭-‬24‬ ‭
[22] So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. [23] In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Very truly I tell you, My Father will give you whatever you ask in My Name. [24] Until now you have not asked for anything in My Name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:19‭-‬20‬ ‭
[19] For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.” [20] For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the Glory of God.

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭22:1‭-‬28‬ ‭
[1] For three years there was no war between Aram and Israel. [2] But in the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to see the king of Israel. [3] The king of Israel had said to his officials, “Don’t you know that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us and yet we are doing nothing to retake it from the king of Aram?” [4] So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.” [5] But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel of the Lord.” [6] So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—about four hundred men—and asked them, “Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?” “Go,” they answered, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.” [7] But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here whom we can inquire of?” [8] The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say such a thing,” Jehoshaphat replied. [9] So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.” [10] Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them. [11] Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns and he declared, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.’ ” [12] All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. “Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious,” they said, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.” [13] The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably.” [14] But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.” [15] When he arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or not?” “Attack and be victorious,” he answered, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.” [16] The king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?” [17] Then Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord said, ‘These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’ ” [18] The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?” [19] Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left. [20] And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’ “One suggested this, and another that. [21] Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’ [22] “ ‘By what means?’ the Lord asked. “ ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said. “ ‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’ [23] “So now the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster for you.” [24] Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. “Which way did the spirit from the Lord go when he went from me to speak to you?” he asked. [25] Micaiah replied, “You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.” [26] The king of Israel then ordered, “Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king’s son [27] and say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.’ ” [28] Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!”
