Hello Everyone,

There is nothing that reveals more about a believer than his or her prayer life.

How they approach God and what that individual is willing to ask for reveals how he or she views God.

Matt 7:7-11

⁷ “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

⁹ “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, though 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!

I want to say it again how we approach God and what we are willing to ask for reveals how we view God.

Our requests are in line with what we know of the character of the one we are asking.

It is similar to how a child will make a request from their father.

The child with a kind, gentle and firm father, does not fear to ask anything, for they know that their father has greater wisdom and experience, and would not give them anything that would be harmful to them.

The child with an extravagant but uncaring father will with arrogance lay down his demand knowing his every desire will be met.

The child with a stingy, ill-tempered, abusive father will seldom ask for anything, fearing anger.

This is also true spiritually.

When we pray we pray according to the view of God we have.

I think sometimes our view of God can be influenced by the kind of earthly father we have had.

We are told to ask and keep on asking, we are to seek and keep on seeking and we are to knock and keep on knocking.

This can either be the greatest day you have had in a while are the worse. The choice is up to you. Remember it is not what happens to you but what happens in you that counts.

Ask BIG things from your BIG GOD He does hear you!

Greater Things Are Still To Come!

See you tomorrow Pastor Phil
