For what did Jesus say we are to ask for, seek and knock as we pray to God the Father in heaven? (NASB) Luke 11:11-13 “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?’ 12 ‘Or […]
(NASB) Luke 11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Look at the action verbs: ask, seek, and knock. Each of them is followed by a sure promise! Ask ~ you will be given your […]
Picture this: A person is seen knocking at a friend’s door – at midnight – no lights are on in the house. Yet the person at the door continues to knock, knocking to wake the person inside to come to the door. Finally, a hushed voice from inside, ‘Who is it and whadya’ want?’ […]
The disciples of Jesus asked Him to teach them to pray…and so He did. Near the end of the prayer is an interesting phrase…which the followers of Christ should pray: (NASB) Luke 11:4 “…And lead us not into temptation.” Why would Jesus even say this? God does not tempt anyone. Never has, never will. […]
(KJV) Romans 11:33-36 “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor? 35Or who hath first given to him (the Lord God), and it […]

(NASB) Luke 11:3 “Give us each day our daily bread.” How often, during each day, am I consciously depending on God my Father? Perhaps your prayer would be similar to mine, ‘I take You and Your provisions for granted. Forgive me.’ For what do you take the living God for granted? For health, food, a […]
Sunday after Sunday, many congregations say the “Lord’s Prayer” together, aloud. I wonder, do they realize, do we realize, whenever we pray this prayer – we are agreeing with God for His will to be done? For saying God’s will to be done is an act of submitting to His will! Do you, are […]
When followers of Christ pray, we are to pray to our Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9) (NASB) Luke 11:2 “…Father, hallowed be Your name.” God the Father, uncreated God, the Eternal God Who is the First Cause of all that has been created…(Genesis 1:1) This God whose name is hallowed, is to […]
The disciples of Jesus had requested Him to teach them to pray. (NASB) Luke 11:2 “…‘When you pray, say: ‘Father…’” The living God of the Bible is the Father of all who follow Jesus. (NASB) John 1:12-13 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, […]
