Matthew 7:7-11
Amplifed….
“Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.
“For everyone who keeps on asking recieves,
and he who keeps on seeking finds, and he who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.
“Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will (instead) give him a stone?
“Or if he asks for a fish, will (instead) give him a snake?
“If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are,
know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven (perfect ss he is) give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking him.
*** THIS IS JESUS CHRIST TEACHING YOU ABOUT PERSISTENT, CONSTANT
PRAYER. ***
*** HE IS ALSO NULLIFYING THOSE WHO SAY “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY
FOR”. ***
*** THE WHOLE POINT TO WHAT JESUS IS SAYING IS “IF YOU DON’T QUIT PRAYING YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU ARE ASKING
FOR”. ***
*** IT WILL BE GOOD AND ADVANTAGEOUS
FOR YOU. ***
