Sermon On The Mount: Part 38

So then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12

Jesus just told us in the previous verses to keep on shamelessly asking our Father for the things that we want. Verse 12 holds the key, this verse is the Truth that sets us free, this verse is the secret to a great life. Shamelessly continue to bother our Father for the wants and needs of others. There are some wonderful examples of asking our Father for the needs of others in the Bible and we can shamelessly use them. 

May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! Ephesians 3:17-19

For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things--That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition]. [We pray] that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory, [to exercise] every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy, Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light. Colossians 1:9-12

Shamelessly continue to ask our Father, keep at it, pester Him, don’t let up on asking that others have Christ permanently in their hearts and that they actually know the love of Christ for themselves. Unceasingly ask that they have complete and full knowledge of the Truth that sets them free. Never stop demanding that they are filled with the fulness of God. Continually ask that they are wise, discerning, pleasing, strong, invigorated, and used to bear much and abundant fruit. Ask to the point of being bothersome to our Father in your most secret room, with the door shut, and don’t be as the hypocrites and tell everyone that you are doing it. This is the key to a great life.
