What did Jesus teach about prayer?
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
What else does the Bible say about prayer?
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
James 1:6-8 says, "6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
3. Lack of Generosity
Get mad all you want, but the truth is, we need to talk about generosity, or the lack thereof. People think nothing about spending their money on a $10 Starbucks coffee, $80 to $200 on brand-name Nike shoes, $800 to $1,000 dollars on a Gucci bag or $1,099 on an iPhone 15 Pro Max. But, when it comes to supporting their church or giving to good causes, hesitation creeps in, revealing a paradox in our spending priorities.
Indicators
Early Christians exemplified profound generosity, guided by their understanding of Jesus' teachings. As a result, no one in their community lacked anything. Acts 4:34-35 vividly illustrates this principle:
"34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."
