Dr Stanley L Scott
Introduction: My goal and prayer for this lesson is to present to you a position that will move you to get courage to make a connection and actually ask God for the things that you need and receive them because you will act on what you believe.
Main Text:
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Support Texts:
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
