A life of persistence

SUMMARY: The passage in Matthew 15:21-28 teaches us about the importance of being insistent and daring in prayer, and presenting specific requests before God with urgency and passion. The story of the Canaanite woman who approached Jesus with a specific need for her possessed daughter exemplifies these principles. Prayer is a science that not only changes the heart of God but also our own hearts, and it is important to take time to develop our requests before God and allow Him to lead us to a deeper level of relationship with Him. God responds to a people who pray and believe that He can do extraordinary things in their favor.
Prayer is not just about getting results, it's about developing a dialogue with God. When we pray, we enter into a healing process and remove our demons by presenting our needs before God. Like the woman with the issue of blood, we need to take time to develop our requests and enter into a dialogue with God. He likes to spend time with us and our prayer should be developed from the bowels. We should pray from the platform of what is Written in the Bible, which is God's commitment to His creation. The Bible is a legal document, a constitution, and a living commitment that God has made to His creation. We should be a people of the Word and memorize entire passages to remember when we need them.
The story of the Canaanite woman in the Bible teaches us about the power of persistence in prayer. She kept asking Jesus for healing for her daughter, despite being told to stop, and eventually her faith and persistence paid off. Prayer is a science that requires focus, humility, and persistence. We should appeal to the principles of Scripture, ask the Holy Spirit for guidance, and not get discouraged if we don't see immediate results. God wants us to have a mature and deep faith that can move mountains, and we should continue to cry out to Him for our requests.

Matthew 15 verses from 21 to 28, are two passages that are linked to each other, one is found in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, the other is also found in Mark, they are passages that relate the same event but with complementary perspectives, and I want to talk about, I'm going to complete a loop about prayer. This is the fourth message, I think that he had already denied us several times to allow us to use those parking lots that have been such a blessing for us over the years.
Virtually no church in the city of Boston, an urban church in the center of the city has the benefit that we have of having access to so much parking space and all this was as a result of a time of prayer that we had with a sister we knew She heard about our situation, through our prayers, a member of the Church, and that moved a lot of factors that ended up attracting the presence of the mayor of the city of Boston himself here.
