Ask and Receive



Luke 11:5-8

Which of you shall go to your friend at midnight and say “Friend, lend me three loaves, for a guest has come to my house and I have nothing to give him,” and have him answer “Trouble me not: the door is shut, and my children and I are in bed, I cannot rise and give you what you ask”?

I tell you, what he will not give for friendship, he will give because of your insistence, he will rise and give as much as is needed.



Luke 11:9-13 (Matthew 7:7-11)

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened. For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to he that knocks shall the door be opened.

What man among you will give his son a stone when he asks for bread? Or a serpent when he asks for a fish? Or a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to them that ask him?



Luke 18:2-5

There was in a city a judge, which feared neither men nor God. And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: “Give me justice against my adversary.”

And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself: “Though I fear neither man nor God, yet because this widow troubles me, I will give her justice, so that she will not weary me with her continual coming.”



Mark:11:24

Therefore I tell you: Whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them.



John:14:12-14

Truly, truly, I tell you. He that believes in me, the works I do he shall do as well, and greater works than these, because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father might be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.



John:16:23-24

Truly, truly, I tell you. Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. Before this time you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and receive, so that your joy may be full.



Matthew 18:18-20

Truly I tell you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
