Matthew 7:7-8Jesus 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:

Book of Matthew Bible Study
$20.00
I'm excited to announce the new bible study starting soon. Tailspin Farms Life In Grace will be studying The Book of Matthew. NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. 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. Prayer Journal Digital

$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, Margarita Handmade Goat Milk & Honey Soap
