This article is a tiny tip of it. Are you a Christian? Do you believe what Jesus said? Then why aren't the churches teaching the following. Go read Matthew 7:7-12. It starts where Jesus says, "Ask and it will be given to you... ." Then in Matthew 7:26 Jesus says, "But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." --- The point is, do you ever ask and not receive? You better find out how to ask and receive, because otherwise you might be building your house on sand. Why isn't it a priority of the churches to teach us how to ask so that we receive? I mean, if it wasn't God's will for us to receive, Jesus wouldn't have said Matt. 7:7. But the churches would rather cover up the ways we can get the faith so that we can obey Jesus in this 'asking, seeking, knocking', rather than teaching us how to get that kind of faith.
