Prayer: It's A Garden, Not a Slot Machine.
Last post we saw that, at least according to Jesus, prayer is pretty much a sure thing. Ask and it shall be given you, for everyone that asketh receiveth, if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask it shall done for them, all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer believing ye shall receive, whatever you ask the father in my name he will give it you, Ask and ye shall receive that your joy may be full … etc.
The point I wanted to make in this message is that prayer is a sure thing but sure in the same way that growing a garden is sure. Anyone can have a garden. No one sits around bemoaning their lack of a garden saying, " I guess it must not be God's will for me to have a garden." We all understand that if we want to have a garden we can have one but effort will be required on our part. No one prays, "Lord if it be your will give me a beautiful garden." Answered prayer is a certainty. It's a sure thing. It's as sure as growing a garden.

Why stop with the quotes you took from the Bible? Guess you forgot Jesus telling us to obey civil authority and civil authority says the illegals are breaking civil law! So if one claims to be a Christian who follows the teachings of the Bible, why would he suggest one break the law since the officials who wrote the laws are appointed by God? Too bad so many Christians read the Bible like a menue from a Chinese restaurant; One from column A, one from column B and disregard the parts you do not like.
