Praying in FAITH
Mat 7:7 "Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and
it shall be opened to you.
Mat 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to
him who knocks it shall be opened.
Yahuah gives to us what HE deems as being good; as the verses in context
state: Mat 7:9 "Or is there a man among you who, if his son asks for bread,
shall give him a stone?
Mat 7:10 "Or if he asks for a fish, shall he give him a snake?
Mat 7:11 "If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give what is
good to those who ask Him!
The key is FAITH. If you ask, anything in HIS name, BELIEVING, it shall be
done. See: Mat 21:21 And
יהושע answering, said to them, "Truly, I say to you, if
you have belief and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig
tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be thrown into the
sea,’ it shall be done.Mat 21:22 "And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you
shall receive." Joh 15:7 "If you stay in Me, and My Words stay in you, you shall
ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you
There are times in our life when we ask our heavenly father for bread, and it
seems that we are given stones. What we do not see, is that we already have the
wheat - if we have faith, we will use the stones to make the wheat into flour -
which when given back to the father, will be used to make the bread for which we
asked. Here is the explaination. Faith without works is dead. It does nothing.
Faith is the word of Yahuah or the oats. When we are given a stone, we are then
to use the stone to turn the faith (oats) into flour, which then becomes an
offering back to Yahuah. He will then take the flour, and use it to make the
bread - or in other words, give us his blessings - aka, that which we have asked
him for. Those who ask will be given a word. Those who seek will find that they
have the tools to act upon the word they have asked for. Those who knock, will
use what they have been given to open the door, which is the blessing that
Yahuah wants to give you (aka, the bread).
Those who ask and do not believe will not see the stones as a means to get
bread, but rather that their request has not been answered. Our prayers of faith
are always answered. A prayer of faith to save the sick that results in the sick
dying is answered. The sick have been saved - for if they go to heaven, they
have been fully cured of all sickness and desease! This was the case when my
grandfather passed away a year ago... we prayed that he might be healed, and
instead of healing, he died. What some may see as a stone, was in fact the
bread! Other times, we pray for bread, and are given a word of faith (grain)
followed by a stone (mortar). This is when Yahuah expects us to grind our own
bread, using the stone to grind the grain down, so that it can make bread. This
is faith (given by hearing the word) with works. An analogy of this would be my
own life. I was lonely, and prayed that Yahuah might provide me with a soulmate
with which to spend my life. I was given a word (rama) and a vision - or oats.
Then, I met somone I thought was the one, and thought I had been given bread.
But when I bit down, I found instead a stone! The person I thought was the one,
turned out to be a means of putting the word of faith I had to the test,
refining it, purifying it, just as grain is refined when it is ground by a
mortar and petsel. After my faith had been finely ground, it was ready to be
handed back to the creator... and that was no small amount of grinding! It hurt,
my life seemed as though it was over before it began. Like gold refined in the
heat of the flame, the impurities were ground out so that when the word mixed
with my life, it would make bread - in my case, the trial and hardship of the
stone, became the nessesary steps that were taken to allow Yahuah to give me the
bread I had asked for. Because of the trials and hardships, my faith became
perfected... and at last, when the flour was ready, I was given my bread - the
soul mate I had prayed for, and now I'm enjoying the blessing of being married
to a wonderful husband. But, in all honesty, had I been given the bread without
the preparation, I would not have been as thankful for the bread and I would
have rejected it. I am thankful for those stones now, because without them, I
would not have seen the blessing of my bread! :-)
it shall be opened to you.
