An Introduction Is there such a thing as unanswered prayer, or is it just aborted? In one of his teachings Jesus creates a story about the faith of a widow who pesters an unjust judge until he gives her what she wants. Then He asks His listeners if, when He returns to the earth, he will find that kind of faith at work in their hearts. (see Luke 18). In this course we learn how continual knocking and seeking are required—not because God can be pestered into answering, but because we have an enemy working to intercept our inheritance before we get it. God has already provided everything in Christ; therefore we mustn’t settle for less. As it turns out persistence is the genius of faith. In earnest prayer with you,
