1 “The Greatest Sermon in History” Part 19

2 Unlimited Blessing 1 1 WHEN YOU PRAY GOD PROMISES…

3 Matthew 7:7 (NLT) “Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for.”

4 Psalm 50:10 (NLT) For all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.

5 Philippians 4:18-19 (NLT) At the moment I have all I need—more than I need! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable to God and pleases him. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

6 WE DON’T WANT HIM INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES

7 “We do not live in a praying age. We live in an age of hustle and bustle, of man’s efforts and man’s determination, of man’s confidence in himself and his own power to achieve things, an age of human organization, and human machinery, and human push, and human scheming, and human achievement; which in the things of God means no real achievement at all.” ~ R.A. Torrey “We do not live in a praying age. We live in an age of hustle and bustle, of man’s efforts and man’s determination, of man’s confidence in himself and his own power to achieve things, an age of human organization, and human machinery, and human push, and human scheming, and human achievement; which in the things of God means no real achievement at all.” ~ R.A. Torrey

8 WE DON’T WANT HIM INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES WE DON’T BELIEVE HE’S CAPABLE OF ANSWERING

9 Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.

10 WE DON’T WANT HIM INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES WE DON’T BELIEVE HE’S CAPABLE OF ANSWERING WE DON’T BELIEVE HE WANTS TO ANSWER

11 Matthew 7:9-11 (NLT) You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

12 James 4:2-3 (NLT) You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous for what others have, and you can't possess it, so you fight and quarrel to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don't have what you want is that you don't ask God for it. And even when you do ask, you don't get it because your whole motive is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.

13 “So then if we ask for good things, he grants them; if we ask for things which are not good (either not good in themselves, or not good for us or for others, directly or indirectly, immediately or ultimately) he denies them; and only he knows the difference.” ~ John Stott “So then if we ask for good things, he grants them; if we ask for things which are not good (either not good in themselves, or not good for us or for others, directly or indirectly, immediately or ultimately) he denies them; and only he knows the difference.” ~ John Stott

14 If the request is wrong, God will say, “No.”

15 If the timing is wrong, God will say, “Slow.”

16 If you are wrong, God will say, “Grow.”

17 When all is right, God will say, “Let’s go!”

22 Matthew 7:7 (NLT) “Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened.”

26 Hebrews 4:14-16 (NLT) That is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it.
