禱告是基督徒的基本權利Prayer Being a Basic Christian Right
【聖經經節Bible Verses】
馬太七7：求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。8：因為凡求的，就得著；尋找的，就尋見；叩門的，就給他開門。
雅各四2：…你們沒有，是因為你們不求。
Matt 7:7 Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. (8) For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
James 4:2 ...You do not have because you do not ask.
【職事的話Words of Ministry】
有一位弟兄在得救之後，天天都禱告。一天，有一位姊妹問他說：「你禱告有沒有得著神聽？」他覺得希奇。他就想，到底神聽了他幾個禱告？後來他發現，他的禱告空泛得很，也不痛，也不癢，神不必聽都行。好像求明天出太陽，你禱告，也出來，不禱告，也出來。他並沒有說出求甚麼，實實在在等於沒有求。
After a brother was saved, he prayed every day. One day a sister asked him, “Has God ever listened to your prayer?” He was surprised. He began to consider how many of his prayers were answered. He discovered that his prayers were quite vague and capricious. It did not matter whether God answered them, and it did not matter whether God ignored them. They were like prayers to God for the sun to rise the next day; the sun would rise whether or not he prayed. He could not pinpoint what he had asked for. This amounted to not having asked for anything at all.
神要知道你究竟要甚麼、求甚麼，纔能給你甚麼。所以，求的意思，就是專一的要。你要求，這就是尋找的意思，這就是叩門的意思。你到藥房裡去買藥，也得說出要甚麼藥。主在這裡說，你必須有所求，並且要專一。難處就在不求，攔阻是在我們這邊。
God wants to know what you specifically want and what you specifically are asking for. Only then can He give it to you. Hence, to ask means to demand something specific. We have to ask. This is what it means to seek and to knock. If you go to a pharmacy for medicine, you must say exactly what medicine you want. This is why the Lord says that we need to ask and ask specifically. The problem with us is that we do not ask.
你必須學習禱告專一。神聽你，你知道；神不聽你，你也知道。如果禱告是攏統的，而難處是專一的，那就沒有辦法解決難處。必須有專一的禱告，纔能對付專一的難處。
You must learn to be specific with your prayer. You should know when God has answered your prayers and when He has not answered your prayers. If prayers are empty when needs are specific, one cannot expect any solution for the problem. Only specific prayers can deal with specific problems.
