POINT TWO

Now concerning point 2. Most of the time we pray for things that He has already given us. II Peter 2:3 says, " As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having excaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."

Now if I know anything about English, has given, means it is something that has already been done. He has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. It is given to us through our knowledge of Him. In other words, the more knowledge and understanding you have of the Lord, the more you are able to receive of the things that He has already provided. The problem is, when someone gets saved ( confesses Jesus as Lord of their lives ) they think that they know Him.
However, you have just been introduced to Him. This is just a beginning. God has given us His Word and anointed teachers to help us come to the knowledge of the things that He has instore for us. They do not just happen. We have to apply ourselves.

God never intended for us to live in poverty; He never intended for us to live in bad health; He intended for us to be fruitful and multiply. You won't learn these things just by going to church. You learn it by the Word of God. By putting it in your ears, putting it in your eyes, putting it in your heart and putting it in your mouth. If you are not in a church that believes in the power of God and that His Word is our life-line, then you need to find another church.

God has already supplied everything that He is going to supply, and if you do not understand that, then you need to find a person full of faith to teach it to you.
Well thats all for now. Hope you take these things to heart. Later I will teach on point 3. We ask Him to do what He has told us to do.
