After all, he DID say in Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Didn't he? And if you read the passage, he makes NO mention of conditions or caveats. None. You want it, pray for it, it's YOURS. No questions asked. And this isn't the only passage to mention this either, here is a list you can look up yourselves;
# Matthew 7:7
# Matthew 17:20
# Matthew 21:21
# Mark 11:24
# John 14:12-14
# Matthew 18:19
# Mark 9:23
# Luke 1:37
ALL of these passages show clearly that whatever you need or want, you just ask in prayer, be sincere (and what could be more sincere than a homeless mother praying for shelter and food for her children) and it will be granted. No questions asked.
So then why, if that is the case, does this never happen in churches? Why would god's own reps need to beg for money from the flock? Why not just pray for it?
Let the apologists start with the excuses!
