AN ATTITUDE OF PRAYER !

AN ATTITUDE OF PRAYER ! Here is what the spirit of God revealed to me as I meditated and considered this scripture prayerfully: if you have a need this morning and you prayed over it, believing that you received when you prayed, then tomorrow when some of the need arises, don't faint and give up because the first prayer has not been manifested. (1 John 5:14-15). "And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: we are sure that if we ask anything make any requests According to His will in agreement with his own plan, He listens to and hears us. And if (since) we positivity know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know we settled and absolute knowledge that we have granted us as our present possessions the request made of Him." The amplified Bible. Men are always to pray and not faint, or turn coward and give up. They are to pray about each need as it arises. In (Luke 18:2) Jesus beginning the parable: "there was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, avenge me of my adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them ? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth ? (Luke 18:2-8). You would not take away from that Scripture, nor would you really add to it, if you say it, "Will He find that kind of faith on the earth when He comes ? The weather was an insignificant person. She had no authority or political power. She had no support and no one to take care of her. She was at the mercy of the people. Listen to what Jesus said: and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him (the unjust judge), saying, avenge me of my adversary. From this, some have inferred that the widow just kept coming. The only indication for this interpretation is that it says, she came unto him, saying. You can interpret it two ways, but I choose to believe that the widow came to the unjust judge with fire in her eyes and authority in her voice; that while she was walking toward him, she was saying, avenge me of my adversary. The little Greek says, "She was coming to him saying." To me, this indicates she was coming and saying at the same time. She was talking as she was walking. The literal Greek says of Jesus that on one occasion "He was coming to them saying." It doesn't really mean that He kept coming and saying the same thing. He was speaking to them as He was walking toward them.
