King James Version (KJV)
Matthew 7:7 Context
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Flesh gives birth to flesh,but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit....You must be born again. " The Spirit that has to be born again lies within you in a dormant state in your sacrum bone. You do not seek material gain.You only seek to be born again as Spirit to reach God.Faith in God and adherence to rightism is of-course pre-requirement.Flag

He will back off and let you get what you want but He may not be in it. You cannot gamble with God . Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above , and cometh down from the Father of lights , with whom there is no variableness , neither shadow of turning.Flag

3 years AgoAnthony Sims for verse 7I want a new job, I want a new truck, I want more money and a big fine house. Want, want, want. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Taking on the mind of Christ in such a material world is quite the struggle. There are so many barriers between us and Jesus. The only word used to describe Jesus ' relationship with the disciples is that they followed. God created us to serve him. As our bond grows stronger and deeper with God, as described in Eph. 3:14-21, our need for things of this world diminish. What we want changes. And whatever God blesses us with is to be shared with our less fortunate brethren. Before we ask and knock let 's first ask God what HE wants.Flag
