Cry Out To God and He Promises to Hear You (audio/video)

Luke 18:1-8 (NKJV)
1  Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,
2  saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.
3  Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
4  And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
5  yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ “
6  Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7  And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
8  I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Command 12: Give, Pray, and Fast Secretly (podcast)

Matthew 6:16-18 (NLT2)
16 “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get.
17 But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face.
18 Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

Commands of Christ

Command 17:Ask, Seek, and Knock Part 1 (32 minute video)
Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him. Matthew 7:7-11 (NLT)
