It takes the Church to understand what Jesus is talking about, that is serious about praying, thinking, reading, writing, and knowing Jesus.

This promise seems obviously false because almost everyone lacks a grown-up understanding of prayer.

Jesus has power to heal, power to forgive, power to cleanse, power to save – but only for people who will make up their minds to trust Him.

When we pray we are turning as much of ourselves as we have toward as much of God as we understand.

We are always on his mind. That is what Jesus was doing when he prayed.

We need someone who says every day, prays every day: “My faith is not my own. Someone else needs it.”

How? All of them had been looking, talking, thinking, praying, studying, and wondering – about the redemption of Israel for a long time.
