    Some days are better then others. God is close but people are changing every day. They are scared.depressed. hurting. In a rot. Feeling like they have no freedom any more. Kids are following what their parents say. Bur all their freedom has been taken away. Parents are drinking more. Druga take away the pain of not wanting to see their future. Ever changing because of politics. Doctors. Hospitals. Too careful sometimes..but that is because new rules going up everyday. Know God. Know the Bible.

    I'm assuming you are taking the entire chapter? Verses 5-13 talk about giving. In V.5, the emphasis is the word friend.

    To understand V.6, in the Middle Eastern custom, it was very hospitable to have bread and food waiting for visitors no matter when they came. That would be the Middle Eastern custom thing to do. And he says, he came at midnight and he journeyed. And he came and I have nothing to put in front of him.

    V.7: The person inside says four things: Number 1: stop troubling me: He sounds like my house if somebody knocked on my door at midnight wanting bread. Secondly: the door is now shut, that means that it is barred closed. And my children are with me in bed;

    You may have heard of the family bed. It is a Middle Eastern custom. They would close the door, and how they would keep warm is they would all get into one bed. As a matter of fact, on evenings when it is was real cold, they would bring the livestock in, not in bed, but in the same room, just to get them indoors.

    Fourthly: he says I cannot rise and give to you. We are all in bed, we are all warm, lights out, door closed, and you are knocking on my door and you are saying you want bread. It won't happen!

    Verse 8: Jesus said, I say unto you, though he will not rise and give to him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity, and that is a big word! In the Greek, it means shameless persistence. There's no shame in this man. He's going to keep pounding on the door until you get up and give him what he wants. "You only want 3, I'll give you 7. Just go home, leave me alone."

    Carry that thought over because people say that's what you need to do with God. You need to be persistent, nag Him. Make Him give you what you are praying for!

    But if I may suggest to you that the Lord is not teaching about comparison. He's teaching about contrast. If you as human beings, if somebody is knocking on your door, you will get up and give it to them just to get rid of them. But God is not that way!

    More clarification on the verse for study
  • Jim on Luke 11 - 6 years ago
    We all must repent and pray. And have everyone you know to do the same; have them also to spread the word. Do not take this lightly; satan the father of lies have this government in his hand.and he will not rest until the east attack the West; United States.

  • Joshua - In Reply on Matthew 7:11 - 6 years ago
    Look at Luke 11:13, which further edifies this verse. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him" The good things spoken of by Jesus here are SPIRITUAL things. ETERNAL things. Eternal life. Not temporal things. Not fleshly things.
  • ALEX on Luke 11 - 6 years ago
    This woman was praising Mary saying blessed is the womb that bare you and the papes you have sucked thats Mary and she was truly blessed but Jesus is refering to another WOMAN when he said more blessed are them that hear my words and keeps them thats Humanity th WORLD,JESUS said the field was the world where that good seed wd be planted our hearts that good seed will be sown initiating a birth of Christ in US.He wants us all to be his MOTHER that what the new birth is Christ being formed in US. Who is my Mother them that hear my WORDS HIS SEEDS.The KINGDOM HAS TO COME VIA A BIRTH OF CHRIST IN US.thats y he always referes to himself as Son of MAN. Unless ya receive the kingdom as a lil CHILD.

    We have to remember,when we pray and put it all in Gods hands and leave it there God will answer your prayers in his own time own way.All we need to do is be patient.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Luke 11:32 - 6 years ago
    Jesus said this because Nineveh Assyria repented at the preaching of Jonah. Read the book of Jonah if you want more. Yet Jesus did many miracles proving his ministry when Jonah did no miracles. But that town would not repent at the preaching of Jesus. that is why Jesus said Nineveh would rise up in judgment and condemn the town.
    Jesus taught repentance and few did what Jesus said.
  • Lalrinpuia on Luke 11:32 - 6 years ago
    why do god say about nineve that in the day of judgement and shall condemn it..i think god forgive what they had done wrong but here it says condemn again. why ???
  • Alex on Luke 11 - 6 years ago
    Jesus asked who is my mother ? Then he says THEM that hear my WordSeeds and keeps them. His Words are gonna initates a birth of Christ in US.He said the good seed is my word and he says the good seeds are the children of the kingdom.Thus the kingdom will truly be with in us.Abide in me and i in you.Jesus is telling this woman that was praising him of another Mary which is the Church,Mary was truly blessed and holy but the Church is more blessed Jesus said More blessed are them that hear the words and keeps them I.E. there is a child in our near future which is the H.G.Kings shall be your nursing fathers and queens shall be your nursing mothers we will all birth a baby Christ th SON OF MAN.
  • Alex on Luke 11 - 6 years ago
    Jesus spoke of this woman in REV 12 When that woman was praising Mary saying blessed is the womb that bare you and the paps that you have sucked thats Mary, but Jesus spoke of another woman when he said more blessed are them that hear the WORD and keeps it which is the Church the bride the World, God so loved the world etc Thats the woman in Rev 12 that has heard the word that good Seed and has kept it resulting in a spritual pregnancy (the new birth) The woman is in travail etc. My lil children of whom i travail in birth till Christ be formed in you thats US THE CHILD is gona be formed in US via that good seed.,jESUS even foretold it when he said SORROWS have filled your hearts A PREGNANCY.

    I'm not one to argue because I believe we all seek out our own salvation but Luke 6:38 tells me to tithe... Luke 11:42 says you ought to have done. Now, if you don't see it the way I do, then don't do it but you should never tell someone that it's not in the Bible until you see the scripture how it is intended for every single person God created. I have a definite difference in my life since Jesus is the center of my universe and I would give all I have if he told me to. What I get back is between me and my savior because all good i receive, I get from him and obeying him has increased all that I have....and yes, it is deliberate tithing from the joy of my heart.

    Cheryl there is a lot of Contradiction on the Internet especially with seeking knowlage about God related Realities. The best way to get answers is His way and He tells us we need His Wisdom Prov4:7 none of us were Born with it so we all lack it James 1:5-8 Jesus tells us in Luke 11:9-13 Ask Seek and Knock and we will Receive and than know God's Truth and His Good will for us in All things 1Cor2.

    Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Luke 11:42 said the same Jesus said these things you ought to do and not omit the waiter matters.

    Our church is having problems with a potential a nasty split. The passage in Luke 12:49:-53 feel happened, Unfortunately my pastor resigned to stop the infighting but there was a group that definitely did not want to see him as our Pastor. The otherYour other unfortunate problem. was they were using their contributes as a way to force a vote that would force the pastor to. resign. I also .

  • I Am that Michael Isaac Dale on Luke 11 - 7 years ago
    The Gospel, that is of God, is not bought with money: for that is adultery. The Gospel, that is of God, is not preached for lucre: for that is whoredom. As it is written, Freely ye have received, freely give. The Gospel, that is of God, is that Christ is now come, in his flesh. As it is written, For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto him.

    The Lord Reveals Himself in His Word. Behold I Come in The Volume of The Book( Hebrews 10:7) Seek and Ye Shall Find; Knock and it Shall be Opened Unto You ( Luke 11:9) He Will Tug on Your Heart, You Will Know it is Him. ( John 6:44) Today No Burning Bushes, Call The Fire Department. The Fire Will be in Your Heart. The Lord Talks to You Through His Word. Satan Looks like an Angel( 2 Corinthians 11:14

    A Greater than Solomon is Here( Matthew 12:42, Luke 11:31) Christ is Taking About Himself. Jesus is The Greater Than Solomon. People Came From Faraway to Hear Solomon. Very Few are Coming to Hear Christ.
  • FAVOUR on Luke 11 - 7 years ago
    The whole chapter is a raw teaching of Christ, so inspirational, full of authority; even a certain woman of the company noted it in verse 27 and exclaimed: "Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked". How I wish we will adhere to it in Jesus Name.
