“And I tell you, ask and you will receive; 
seek and you will find; 
knock and the door will be opened to you.” 
LUKE 11:9


“The day is coming, blazing like an oven, when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch”, says the Lord of hosts. “But for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays.” (Mal 3:19-20)

“They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “my own special possession, on the day I take action. And I will have compassion on them, as a man has compassion on His son who serves Him.  (Mal 3:17)

Jesus said, “What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” (Lk 11:11-13)

You will again see the distinction between the just and the wicked; between the one who serves God, and the one who does not serve Him. (Mal 3:18)

Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of the insolent, but delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on his law day and night. He is like a tree planted near running water that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade. Whatever he does, prospers. Not so the wicked, not so; they are like chaff which the wind drives away. For the Lord watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked vanishes. (Ps 1:1-4,6)

They who fear the Lord spoke with one another, and the Lord listened attentively; and a record book was written before Him of those who fear the Lord and trust in His name. (Mal 3:16)
