"Prayer is an expression and exercise of Faith. We believe and are persuaded that God is real. It is an expression of the life of Christ in us. Prayer is the hardest work, but people of faith are praying people. It is a good thing to set aside precious time, to pray. Sometimes, it can seem not worthwhile and we begin to entertain hard and negative thoughts. "Scripture teaches persistence in prayer, as though we will not take no for an answer. Keep on in prayer, it is still a time for asking. Pray often for things that will bring more of the Holy Spirit into the life of the believer. Pray to be a better Christian; to fear God more; to be more God centred. The church needs people who are praying. It is still a time for asking: God loves His children to come ans ask Him. "Ask with faith and conviction, and remember that God is generous. Believe that He knows best. Will He give if we don't ask? Of one thing we can be sure, God will be glorified." - Pastor Chris Hand www.crichbaptist.org Keep Praying - Chris Hand Sermon Luke 11:9-13 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or `if' he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall `your' heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? NKJV - 9 "So I say to 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 he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 "If a son asks for bread* from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if [he asks] for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 "Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
