SPIRITUAL RESOURCES
MATT: 7:7-11 Jesus said, Ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you for everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door will be opened, which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then through you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him.
We ask, seek, and knock through prayer! Persistent will get God's attention. Remember the widow in Luke 18:10-8 she kept going to the judge for her request. He finally gave her what she was requesting and the judge wasn't even a godly man. How much more does our heavenly Father love us?
Jer 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"
People often give up after a few halfhearted efforts and conclude that God cannot be found. But knowing God takes faith, focus, and follow-through and Jesus assures us that our efforts will be rewarded, don't give up!!!!! Pray with an attitude of expectance
Matthew 21:22 " Jesus said if you believe, you will receive what ever you ask for in prayer"
I John 3-21-22 if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God. And receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.
Jesus summed up the commands with two Matt 22:37-40 Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy hear and with thy entire mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as they self. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. We must be obeying His word.
I John 5:14-15 this is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, we know that we have what we asked of Him.
Do you know what the Will of God is? John 3:16 He wishes that none would perish but receive salvation. I Peter 2:24 by whose stripes we were healed (physical, emotional, spiritual)
2 Thess 3:10 this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
These three verses tell us what the Will of God is for our lives.
Salvation, Healing and Prosperity.
The ability to live for God is only a prayer away
