Note 49 at Mt 7:7: Asking and receiving must be qualified by these other scriptures: (1) We must ask in faith (Mt 21:22 and Mr 11:24) without wavering (Jas 1:5-7). (2) We must ask according to God's will (1Jo 5:14-15, see note 31 at Mt 6:10) and not to consume it upon our own lusts (Jas 4:2-3). Seeking and finding must also be qualified by Mt 6:33. If we are seeking something more than we are seeking God, we are hindering our own supply.
