When good people pray, the LORD listens, but he ignores those who are evil.

(No one can break iron, especially the iron from the north that is mixed with bronze.)

The LORD said to me, "I will send enemies to carry away the wealth and treasures of my people, in order to punish them for the sins they have committed throughout the land.

For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.

And so I say to you: Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

For those who ask will receive, and those who seek will find, and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks.
