ASK, SEEK, KNOCK

3/20/2020

Matthew 7:7-8

Jesus encourages perseverance ("active patience," determination) in prayer. The tense of the Greek verb in verse 8 carries the meaning of action that keeps going on. This means we must keep on asking, seeking and knocking.
This does not mean that we need to beg God to answer our prayers. Rather, it means that instead of worrying about a certain issue, we take it to God and acknowledge that the situation is in His hands.
Asking means that we recognize our need and that we trust God to hear our prayers.
Seeking means that our request is earnest and that we are willing to obey God and pursue His purposes when He responds with an answer or instruction.
Knocking means that we keep bringing the request to God even when He does not respond quickly. Such "active patience" does not show a lack of faith, but rather a constant admission that we need God's help and have turned over our needs to Him. Christ's assurance that those who ask will receive from God is based on:

Keeping our priorities focused on God and seeking His kingdom purposes first (Matthew 6:33)
Recognizing God's fatherly goodness and love (Matthew 6:8; 7:11; John 1:16; 16:23, 26; Colossians 1:9-12)
Praying according to God's will and keeping our desires in line with His (Mark 11:24; John 21:22; 1 John 3:22)
Maintaining communication and friendship with Christ (John 15:7)
Obeying Christ (1 John 3:22)

Book of Micah Bible Study

$14.00

Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of MICAH!

The book of MICAH is from the Old Testament.

The book of Micah contains many warnings of doom and prophecies of hope.

In this study on Micah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Micah.

The prophet Micah was from the small town of Moresheth Gath in southern Judah, a productive agricultural area about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem.

Like Amos, he came from the rural countryside, probably from a family of humble status. While the prophet Isaiah was in Jerusalem addressing the king and international affairs,

Micah was a country prophet who was deeply sensitive to the social issues that affected the small towns and villages throughout Judah.

I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me.

Thank you,

I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me.

Book of Habakkuk Bible Study

$14.00

Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of HABAKKUK!

NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY.

Habakkuk is a minor prophet, and this book is unique from the other prophets in that instead of the prophet speaking God's Word to the people, it records Habakkuk's personal dialogue with God.

When I read this book, about a week ago, I felt that I needed to share HABAKKUK with you.

Let's be honest with each other we have all questioned God and perhaps His existence in our life.

There is so much evil and injustice that exists in the world, Does God Care?

Learn how the storms of life can become opportunities to activate your faith in Habakkuk.

I invite you to go through this bible study with me.

Thank You,

Book of Zephaniah Bible Study

$14.00

Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of ZEPHANIAH!

The book of ZEPHANIAH is from the Old Testament. It only has 3 chapters.

The book of Zephaniah contains Destruction and Salvation / The Day of the LORD

In this study on Zephaniah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Zephaniah.

Zephaniah, whose name means "the LORD hides," was a great-great-grandson of King Hezekiah of Judah and prophesied during the reign of Josiah (639-609B.C.), Judah's last godly ruler (Zephaniah 1:1). Zephaniah's reference to Jerusalem as "this place" (Zephaniah 1:4), as well as his detailed description of Jerusalem's landscape and its sins, supports the belief by scholars that he lived in this city.

Join the study to learn so much more.

I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me.

Book of Haggai Bible Study

$14.00

Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series on the book of Haggai!

NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY.

THEME / PURPOSE: Rebuilding the Temple: Obedience to God Brings the Strength of His Spirit.

Haggai is the first of three prophetic books in the Old Testament (Haggai, Zachariah and Malachi) written after many of God’s people had returned from exile throughout what was, at that time, the Persian Empire (based on narratives in Ezra and Nehemiah the initial return of exiles to Jerusalem)...

A book containing a message of trust, commitment, and work.

It involves a practice of:

meditation
prayer
and offerings

that should be done on a day to day basis to fix God in the very center of our life in order to maintain that place of peace and rest.

A place that many of us venture out into the world to find, not realizing the work of the temple begins with us, inside.

I invite you to go through this bible study with us.

Thank You,

Margaret

I'm excited to announce the new bible study starting soon.

Tailspin Farms Life In Grace will be studying The Book of Matthew.

The Gospel of Matthew

he Word Gospel. The first book of the English Bible that most of us read from is the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew is the first of the four gospel writings, yet there is only one gospel about Jesus Christ and there are four different writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word "Gospel" means "good news", and the good news is about Jesus Christ dying on the cross and then 3 days later conquering death and rising from the dead, offering salvation to all mankind, this is the Gospel.

I hope you that you'll participate in this 15-week series.

Matthew has 28 chapters. For the in-depth study the 154-page eBook will help with your study.
