Ask Seek Knock | Matthew 7:7–12 | Pastor Scott Bland

Pastor Scott Bland delivers a powerful message from Matthew 7, nearing the end of the Sermon on the Mount series, emphasizing persistent prayer as a cornerstone of spiritual growth. He urges believers to ask, seek, and knock with unwavering faith, trusting God’s will as a good Father who knows our needs before we ask. Drawing from personal stories, like praying for healing despite unanswered prayers, and biblical examples, such as Paul’s thorn and Jesus in Gethsemane, Pastor Scott highlights the importance of aligning prayers with God’s purpose to glorify Him and conform us to Christ’s image. He challenges disciples to overcome doubt, model dependence on God, and pursue prayer relentlessly, knowing that even a “no” serves God’s perfect plan.Verse References: Matthew 7 verses 7–12, Matthew 6 verse 8, Matthew 6 verses 14–15, Matthew 6 verse 16, Matthew 6 verse 24, Matthew 6 verse 25, Matthew 6 verse 33, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 21, Matthew 21 verses 18–22, John 15 verse 7, Jeremiah 29 verse 13, Proverbs 2 verses 1–8, 2 Corinthians 12 verses 7–9, Matthew 26 verses 36–46, Matthew 17 verses 14–21, James 5 verses 14–16Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email [email protected].
