The Grands Letter (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on August 26, 2016 7:13 am (CST)Dear Grands,
Matthew 21:22, “βAnd all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.β”
Kids are notorious askers! I always wanted something! As I grew older, I
came to realize that not everything I wanted was good for me. My parents
knew much better than I. ~ Still, Jesus says that everything (?????) we ask
in prayer, believing (???????????), we will receive. Apparently, Jesus meant
that anyone who was old enough to have accepted Him as LORD and Savior,
was old enough to ask only for things that would glorify Him. True prayer is
only true when accompanied by belief. Hope (??????) in Greek always means
future certainty. We must believe with certainty in order to receive. And
that kind of belief comes from a life of consistent spiritual mindedness.
Is that the kind of life you have?
We love and pray for you always,
Nana & Dado III
