Shall He find Faith on the Earth?
aqrinc:
I was going to quote these Scriptures in answer to another post. After reading them again I thought this needs it's own post.
verses 1, 6-8 i think are very much answers to many of the questions we hear daily from sisters and brothers in pain and despair.
When the Son of Man cometh, Shall He find Faith on the Earth?
Luke 18: 1-8:
1- And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2- Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3- And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4- And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5- Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6- And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7- And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8- I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Ought to pray and not faint. Boy thats about it! I think it is called TRUSTing in our heavenly Father.
I would like to know the is was and will be aspect of that passage.
Also is their a deeper meaning to it-since we know God doesn't change His mind based on how many times we "ask" Him.

The answer to asking repeatedly?
These Scriptures are from the Apostles who had received The Holy Spirit Already and are now spiritual minded.
I believe the admonition is for us to look to God Always for The Way, The Truth and The Light; not to try to change His mind.
Romans 1:9:
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Ephesians 6:18:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Philippians 1:4:
Always in every prayer of my for you all making request with joy,
Colossians 1:3:
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
I Thessalonians 1:2:
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
II Thessalonians 1:11:
Why also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
II Timothy 1:3:
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day;
Philemon 1:4:
I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
Geo.
