I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Prayer is more than words. Prayer is more than content. Prayer is heart and soul. Last week we spent time walking through Jesus’ formula of prayer. In that lesson, we demonstrate our desires to see God's kingdom and glory. Our prayers should not just seek to change our conditions, but to change us. Jesus uses a parable to illustrate the fulness of prayer. . Jewish hospitality was taken very seriously, so this parable of a friend showing up at midnight and the homeowner having to deal with an unexpected visitor would have struck a chord with the audience.The homeowner in the story doesn’t have the food to give to his traveling friend, so he goes to his next door neighbor. This homeowner must plead, because the neighbor is unwilling at first. But the heart and attitude of the homeowner is shameless. . Impudence is shameless audacity. It is a willingness to keep knocking. Jesus teaches us that this persistence and audacity is necessary in our prayer life. Do you pray with that kind of persistence or audacity? By continuing to "knock" via our prayers, we show our desperation and need, and ultimately our reliance on God. We must show persistence in our prayers. If we do not want something enough to be persistent in our prayers, then we must not want it enough. The Lord’s Prayer teaches us what to pray, but this parable teaches us how to pray. It is a continuous process. . But we should pray with an understanding of God's love. We know that the Heavenly Father loves us. Even the best parents are imperfect. And God rises to a better standard, which He holds Himself to. So, if even evil parents can give good gifts, how much better can God give?

CrossRoads Church Making and maturing disciples together as a family

Bishop Hannington

We exist for the praise of the glory of God’s grace in Christ Jesus. Everything we do as a church must bring glory to God in the name of Christ Jesus. We are an intergenerational church. We strive to make a seamless journey of faith from birth to old age. We are overtly trinitarian. We are always looking for the work of the Father through the Son by the power of the Holy Spirit. We value people. We present the ideal of God’s plan while embracing the reality of life.

We can pray boldly and persistently because we have a good Father who gives what is best to His children.

Whether you are half full, or only have a drop left, or never really surrendered to Jesus, we can do what Jesus is suggesting in this passage and ask for the best, the Holy Spirit. “Give me that good gift Jesus, because I want to be completely Yours. I give You all of me. Fill me up and work through me.” Will you pray that with me?

Asking to be Blessed Luke 11: 5-13 Rev Keith Morrison

In Luke 11, Jesus teaches us how to pray. He tells us to pray audaciously, without shame. Even when we don't believe that our prayers are being heard or answered, the Lord calls us to be persistent.

Jesus teaches in Luke 11 and 18 that prayer is vital to the Christian life. Prayer is God's mean of us communing with Him and is how we seek after Him. If it is so important, then why is it that we neglect this component of our walk with God? Listen as Pastor Keith explains to us from Luke 11 and 18 the importance of prayer and why we are to pray.
