Attitudes Of Positive Believing

(Matthew 7:7-11 - "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!")

Attitudes are perhaps the most determining factor about life in the today and the tools which are carving out our tomorrows.

Three Attitudes of Positive Believing

1. Dependence on God

(Matthew 7:7 - "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.")

(Isaiah 44:3 - For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground)

2. Assurance

(Matthew 7:8 - "For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.")

(Mark 11:24 - "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.")

(Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.)

(Psalms 37:4 - Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.)

3. Trusting in God's character

(Matthew 7:9-11 - "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!")
