SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF PRAYER Text: Matthew 7:7-11

“Keep on asking, and it will be given unto you; Keep on seeking, and you will find; Keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you . . .” Matthew 7:7 William Barclay “The Gospel of Matthew” Volume 1, p. 270

What was one thing was Jesus trying to teach those who had gathered to hear Him speak what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount?

I. Disappointment in Prayer (Matthew 7:9) A. Rebellion and Continual Sin without Confession - Proverbs 1:24,26,28; Jeremiah 14:12; Jeremiah 15:1 B. Idolatry - Ezekiel 20:31; Jeremiah 29:11-13; Jeremiah 33:3 Jesus also wanted His hearer’s to know that He was interested in fulfilling the prayers of those who sincerely sought after Him and asked in a childlike faith and trust.

II. DECEPTION IN PRAYER (Matthew 7:10) “Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake (serpent - KJV)?” Matthew 7:10 Leviticus 11:12; Leviticus 19:37

III. DANGER IN PRAYER (Luke 11:12) “Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion.” Luke 11:12
