Widow and unjust judge widow.txt

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about the parable of the widow and the unjust judge. A lot of people think that Jesus is saying that we should pray repetitiously over any one thing. Is that really what is being said in light of the fact the Jesus said, \"pray not vain repititions like the heathens do\"? When he says, \"men ought always to pray and not faint\", is he saying to pray continuously? Or might he be saying \"every single time you pray, don\'t faint or stand upon that one prayer until your answered? I submit that that\'s what this is saying. But she came over and over again someone will say. No, it said, \"she came unto him saying\". She barely got in the door and wasn\'t even done walking when she demanded justice. Someone will also say but he said that he will avenge her lest by her CONTINUAL coming she weary him. She was coming day and night\". No, lest means, because IF SHE CONTINUES to come, she\'ll drive him nuts. She only came once, but by the determination in her words she impressed upon him, \"she means business\". So where does faith fit in to all of this? Didn\'t Jesus say, \"if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed you would say unto this sycamine tree be thou plucked up by the root and be cast into the sea and it would obey you? Notice the aspect of patience, HE WOULD NOT FOR A WHILE but afterward he said, \"though I fear not God nor regard man, I will avenge her lest by her continual coming she weary me. She planted a seed in his heart by her boldness, words and address. That seed grew within his heart and consumed him. But only \"after a while\". She didn\'t come again because in her heart it was a done deal. \"And shall not God avenge his own elect which cry unto him day and night?” I believe that Jesus is saying that instead of crying day and night, if we would just have the faith to approach God boldly, as a covenant partner, and regard it a done deal, we would qualify as one of those who are avenged speedily. Will he find this kind of faith on earth when he comes? You decide.
