Title: Seek, Find, Knock on the Door
Contents
Matthew 7:7-12 Ask, seek, knock at the door
Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is a guide to the life of Jesus' disciples.
The world needs money to get what it wants. It demands money! to find what you want, money! when you knock on the door you want to enter, and skill. Oh, Jung Soo-ra sang! In a Korean song, ‘You can get anything you want and be anything you want,’ but the world doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. Prayer is God's hospitality to us. To listen to the requests and requests of others is hospitality. God sent his son to receive him, but he receives and treats the Son of God, so when we ask for it, God also treats us. When you receive and treat a prophet, you are treated and received God, and God receives and treats you like a prophet. Rahab, a prostitute who welcomed the Israeli spies, gave the hospitality of salvation to those who waited in Rahab's house with a red flag when Israel occupied Jericho.
When he came to his own land, his people did not receive him, but to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:11-12)
1. Prayer is a promise.
Matthew 6:33 Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. With whom did Abraham promise when he came out of the land? When Abraham heard the word of God, believed and accepted God, God treated him as righteous. Abraham would not have left or moved from his native father's house if the tribal king of Ur of the Chaldeans had promised him. Prayer is a trusting relationship with God. Trust is a treat. God promises answers to those who have relationships with trust and faith.
2. Patience of waiting
3. It is a promise of faith.
Forgiveness of sins, salvation, heaven, resurrection, and eternal life are God's promises. It is a promise promised in the name of Jesus. Prayer is a request based on God's promises. Jesus heals the sick in order to fulfill the promise of being “the one who takes care of the sick” (Matthew 8:17, Isaiah 53:4). There is a tithing promise in Malachi. There is a promise of being filled with the Holy Spirit in the book of Isaiah. If you seek a job or a school and ask for blessings with the faith to serve and serve others, God will answer you and lead the way. While opening the way for the Apostle Paul to preach the gospel in Rome, he gradually led the way to centurions, commanders of thousands, governors, tetrarch, and emperors, and spread the gospel of the kingdom of God to all nations.
Prayer/Pray that we may receive answers to prayers based on God's promises. Amen.
