<Luke 18:1-8>
3) She wanted to have a fair and right judgement in accordance to the law
• For an insignificant widow to go to the unjust judge daily and ask for justice be done; she
must be very confident that anyone who hears her case will side with her
• Our prayers should not be limited to fighting against the adversary and justice be done.
We should pray with a fair, righteous, honest and cleansed life. The Bible tells us that
‘blessed are those with a clean heart’
• God will definitely listen to the prayers of those who are not accused <1John3:21-23>
“Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from
him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his
command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he
commanded us.”
• God delights in us believing in the name of His son and to love one another
• How can we not be accused when we love the world, curse others and let our minds
wander daily?
• <Revelations 12:11> We need the blood of the lamb and the testimonies of the saints in
order to have victory against the devil
• Blood of the lamb = the death of Jesus Christ → the direction of our lives must be
changed to glorifying God, blessing people and building God’s kingdom
• Our prayers are not truthful if we continuously ask God to forgive us yet refuse to take the
path of Heaven
• Our prayers need to be done in the correct direction and purpose. It’s only when our
direction and purpose are correct, will we able to discover and submit to God’s perfect will
• We cannot stop following God. Otherwise, we become weak very easily. Therefore, God
asked us to present our offerings to Him twice daily. We can ask God to forgive us
regardless of who we had offended or hated
• We should ask God to forgive and cleanse us after we realise that we are not able to do
in accordance to His perfect will. We should not ask God for forgiveness out of obligation,
without the slightest desire to discover His perfect will
2. “Will not God bring about justice, … he will see that they get justice, and quickly.” <v7-8>
1) <Matthew 7:7; John 14:14, 16:24; James 4:2>
• God’s Word is God’s Word (i.e. it is the Truth, it has authority, etc). How do we feel after
reading God’s Word?
• We should be able to see what we will be receiving the next day, now.
• The door will only be opened for us after we have knocked on it
• Regardless of what we are doing, our hearts should be praying continually for blessing
one era
• A person whose whole desire is to live in God’s purpose will definitely be different
4) After receiving answers, we must acquire the “great and difficult things” that comes with
them
<Exodus 12-13→ Joshua 1-24; Acts 1:13-14→2:1-3>
• The things that happened after we’d received the answers are much more important
• Some Believers might start going after the worldly things after they’d received answers.
We must quickly leave those things that draw our hearts towards the carnal things when
we realise that our hearts are changed as a result of the answers we received
• God will bless a Believer who repents and turns to Him. God will remember the promise
that Believer had made with God
• After we’d received the answers, we must ask ourselves, “so what?”
• E.g. So what if we have a healthy body? So what after we’d receive great wealth? So
what if my child has recovered from his illness? So what, when the Apostles had received
filling of the Holy Spirit? They received strength and testify to the people throughout
Jerusalem after they’d received the filling of the Holy Spirit.
• We should ask God to heal us only after our hearts and minds had turned to God and we
stopped our complaints. Otherwise, we will still be receiving a lot of hurts after getting
healed
3. “However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” <v8>
• Faith is the foundation for us to receive answers. Without faith, we will not get anything
• Faith tells us that we have a God, there are angels, Satan, adversary etc
• A person with faith knows that he should receive blessings from God. Thus, he dares to ask
God to bless him
• Only a person with faith will pray continually
1) Man cannot receive because he doesn’t believe in God’s Word
• <Luke 11:23; John 15:7>
• Everything in this whole universe is created solely by God’s Word
• We are the most blessed people if we are able to use God’s word to explain the things
and problems that occur in our lives
• God fulfils His things through His Word
• No matter if we are healthy or sick, have an increment or face retrenchment, we must see
that all these occurrences are the fulfilment of God’s Word
2) We are able to see and hear God’s perfect will as we believe in His Word
• <Matthew 5:8, 13:16; Luke 10:23; John 4:6, 7, 21, 26>
• God uses His word to display His perfect will
• We will not know God’s perfect will if we have never confirm it
• We need not prove if God’s Word is real. We just need to believe in it and confirm it
• God’s Word tells us that all men “were dead in our transgression and sins”. Thus, we
can tell the purpose and motive of a person from his action or speech. More often than
not, men always like to boast about themselves or want to gain some benefits
• It is possible for us to confirm that only the Gospel can set a person free but not religion.
Thus, a person who has confirmed this will not be afraid of any problem
• A true Believer is one who has confirmed it before. He is able to see what others cannot
see because he does it with faith
3) Only a person who sees that God is leading him daily will pray continually
• <Matthew 6:9-10; Ephesians 5:15-51; 1Thesselonians 5:16-18; Acts 16:6-40, 26:20>
• Only a person who has confirmed before is able to see God’s leading daily and only those
who has seen God’s work before will have faith continually
• God’s fulfilment is real
• A lot of Believers believe that God will answer them. However, all of them explain God’s
answers differently
• A person with God’s Covenant will continue to be joyful even though he has met with a
problem. This is because he has a different perspective from others. He wants to walk to
path of David
• Paul’s principle is “everyone will know but none will understand”
• Men do not believe in spiritual things or God’s perfect will. Thus, a person will look for the
doctor once he is sick or try to find his own solution once he meets a problem
• We are able to boast our problems in the Lord
4) God is looking for people in this era; people who really want to believe in Him
<2Chronicles 16:9; 2Timonty 3:1-17>
• God is looking for people who really want to believe in Him. He is looking for “a few good
men"
• <2 Ch 16:9> For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen
those whose hearts are fully committed to him…
• <2Ti 3:1, 3:14> There will be terrible times in the last days… but as for you,
continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of
