"And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? (Luke 18:7)
Jesus Christ came into the world to lead us to eternal life, emphasizing the afterlife. But generally all Christians take worldly meanings for the verses and parables of Jesus Christ.
Today's verse is one of those verses that people misunderstood. To explain to people that they should always pray without getting tired, Jesus Christ mentions about a judge who does not fear God and does not respect people. A widow continually pleads with this unjust judge for justice. Unable to bear her torcher, the unjust judge gives her justice.
That is, if we continue to pray to God day and night like this widow, God will hear our prayer. Jesus Christ said.
Everyone thinks that Jesus told this parable for them, and they think that if they constantly tell God about their worldly needs, they will be fulfilled. But, when read clearly, what Jesus is saying becomes clear to us. Jesus Christ does not refer to everyone's prayer, but says "God reply his own elect"
That is, those who have been chosen by God, who have experienced the salvation according to His will. When such people pray, God hears and answers them. Jesus Christ did not tell this parable to ask Him for worldly needs or that He would give all the worldly needs of such requests.
Spiritual beings will not always pray for their worldly needs. Spiritual people think and pray for spiritual things.
That is why the apostle James said, "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." ( James 4 : 3 ) Not only that he says in anger, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." ( James 4 : 4 )
Beloved, the Bible is a spiritual book. We should not read it like an ordinary worldly book and live with wrong meanings. If God wants to hear our prayers, we must first repent and live a spiritual life. When we live like that, we only make spiritual requests. He will fulfill them. Not only that, he will meet our worldly needs also. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." ( Matthew 6 : 33 ) as Jesus said, He will bless us with worldly blessings.
