Matthew 7:7-8 ~ 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. KJV
As we continue studying in the great Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shows us the progressive intensity in these verses going from ask to seek to knock. Jesus told us to have intensity, passion, and persistence in prayer. The fact that Jesus came back to the subject of prayer – already dealt with in some depth in Matthew 6:5-15 – shows the importance of prayer. Our theme this year here at Faith Baptist is PRAY BIG! And already we have seen so many miracles AS A RESULT of people praying just in these first 3 months of 2023! God is moving and all because our people have taken on this great theme and are praying big. My husband calls it a "REVIVAL OF PRAYER!"
So what do you need? Follow Jesus directions here and ask, seek, knock and believe Him when He says He wants to provide your EVERY NEED and more!
UPDATE: 3/24/23 We are waiting on a few things to happen before we can move into our NEW HOME in the next few days! We have the paperwork done, and God has been amazingly good and gracious to us! We will have a big reveal this Sunday after church! THANK YOU! YOU PRAYED BIG AND GOD GAVE BIG! THANK YOU! Will give more detailed report on SUNDAY! STAY TUNED! God is so good, and we have had some unusual PRAYERS ANSWERED IN THE past 4 months!
In the name of Jesus, may we be HIS emissaries and used by Him to help others.
HE CARES! Do You Know HIM? Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen. With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
