1 | Is it by works or by grace? | Luke 11:8 | geevee | 57823 | ||
Hi Kalos Here is the Scripture I was quoting. Mark 11:23 "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. If you believe that you have received them, why would you keep asking God again and again for what you believe you have already received? Of course, we should constantly pray prayers of Thanksgiving, but I don't believe you have to pray asking for what we desire, again and again. If my interpretation is wrong, let me know with Scripture. GeeVee |

Greetings GeeVee, I can understand what you are trying to say, but if we use the example of Jesus Himself, praying the same prayers, whether praise or request is not wrong, does not shoe lack of faith, and in fact is exactly what we should do until God has revealed to us that our prayer has been answered. Mat 26:39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." Mat 26:42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done." Mat 26:44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Notice that Jesus not only prayed the same prayer again and again but He prayed it again, again, and again, and He even used the SAME WORDS! Pray without ceasing! retxar |
