Ask And You Shall Receive

During His sermon on the mountain, Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you;"


"For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."


"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good thing s to them that ask Him?" Matthew 7:7-8 & 11


If He is not your Father, do not expect that He will give you what you ask for. And it you do not believe, don't waste your time.


"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matthew 21:22

"... Ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss ..." James 4:2-3


Least we misunderstand the purpose of this, we need to ask for things that will help us give God Glory, not things to glorify ourselves.


"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that The Father may be glorified in The Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:13-15


To get "... any thing ..." you ask for you must keep His commandments.
