"And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." There was at Capernaum an officer of the Roman army, a man who had under him a company of a hundred men.
"God most certainly heareth them that pray in faith, and granteth when and how he pleaseth, and knoweth most profitable for them. But when we pray contrary to these points, then we are not heard; for God doth nothing against his Name, his kingdom, and his will."
Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols: Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have requested, from him. If any person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for that.

Lord! have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name done many wonderful works? 'Whoso heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. Jesus Christ here comes before the whole race, and claims an absolute submission.
His Majesty heareth all complaints himself, and with his own mouth giveth sentence and judgment of all matters, and that with expedition; but religious matters he meddleth not withal, but referreth them wholly unto the Metropolitan.

Open your Bible with a question, and let that question be: "Lord Jesus, what would you like to tell me to-day out of these verses of Scripture which I am about to read? What thing in my life would you warn me against, or what thing should I do which I am not doing? Or, is there a better way I should try? "Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth."
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. LUKE vi. 41-49. Three extended metaphors, which may almost be called parables, close Luke's version of the Sermon on the Mount, and constitute this passage.
He looketh before him and seeth a tree far away from him, and underneath were three damsels alighted, and one prayed God right heartily aloud that He would send them betimes a knight that durst convoy them through this strait pass. Clamodos heareth the damsel and cometh thitherward. When they espied him, great joy have they thereof and rise up to meet him. "Sir," say they, "Welcome may you be!"
