Overlooked
James 4:1-3 (KJV) 1 From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.
I can’t seem to convince people how important prayer is. God has made us his representatives. If we do nothing, and nothing good happens most Christians think that must have been God’s will. So many Christians are fatalistic talking about the end of the world instead of the end of the age. We have made 7 bad years outweigh 1000 good years. Jesus wants to move the capital of heaven here and rule from here for a thousand years. He literally wants heaven on earth. Why aren’t we praying that way?
Matthew 7:7-11 (KJV) 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. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 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 things to them that ask him?
God specializes in giving good things. Ask Him for good. Ask Him to spill heaven into your situation.
Be blessed!
