 Luke 18:1-8 <br><i>
1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, <br>
2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.<p> 
3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’<br>  
4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, <p> 
5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ â€<br> 
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.<p>  
7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? <br> 
8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?â€</i>

The key to understanding this passage is the phrase ~not lose heart~.
<p>
What does this phrase mean?  We stand stedfast in our Faith .
<p>
 Prayer is important to Receive from God .  We must Ask .
<p>
But bulldog Faith is critical to Receive from God .
<p>
It is not that God is holding back the answer.  All things have already been provided for Life and Godliness .
<p>
So what is the problem?  The Enemy , the UnjustJudge .
<p>
He does not want you to receive and so he puts Doubt and Fear into your Mind . 
<p>
He tells you lies about God .  He tells you that you don`t deserve what you have asked for.
<p>
He reminds you of your mistakes and tries to disqualify you.
<p>
It is not God holding back!
<p>
We must see the Enemy as the problem.  
<p>
The UnjustJudge can only be Overcome by stedfast Faith in the Love and Grace of God .
<p>
Notice how the above passage ends:<br>
~when the Son of Man comes, will He really find Faith on the earth?~
<p>
 Jesus was teaching us about the quality of Faith that produces results, that gains the Victory .
<p>
Whoever has Ears to Hear , let him Hear .
