There is a harmful trend among some churches here in the United States—belief in a false doctrine often referred to as “Name It and Claim It.” Unfortunately, many who are not yet strong in their understanding of God’s Word fall victim to this faulty teaching and believe that they can ask God for anything and He will grant their request. Such teaching, of course, does not reflect God’s will, as is shown in today’s passage. God grants our requests when they are in keeping with His perfect will, not when we ask according to human desires.
