Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition of Pathway to Victory, Jesus, in this next to the last section of the Sermon on the Mount,

distinguishes between our wants and our needs in four specific areas of our life.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

You ever wonder if God really listens when you pray? Sometimes the apparent silence feels deafening.

Well, God does indeed hear our every prayer, but that doesn't mean He's going to answer right away.

And today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress, you ever wonder if God really listens when you pray?

But that doesn't mean He's going to answer right away. And today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress shares how we can avoid getting discouraged when we bring our petitions before God.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. Have you ever gone back to your old neighborhood to see the house you grew up in?

It stirs up all sorts of good memories and nostalgia, right?

Well, that's how I feel when I travel to the Holy Land. Just like you, I've been reading the Bible all of my life.

And stepping into Jerusalem is like going home, sitting at the garden tomb and reflecting on the resurrection of Jesus,

or standing at the Mount of Olives feels like returning to our spiritual roots.

This coming April 25th through May 5th, I'll be hosting the Pathway to Victory tour to Israel.

And I'd love to be the one to show you the heartwarming sights of the Holy Land and to help you understand why they're so important to our Christian faith.

Go to ptv.org, take a look at the fabulous itinerary, and most importantly, reserve your spot today while they're still in.

Now, in just a few more days we'll be concluding our month-long teaching series called 18 Minutes with Jesus.

And while they're still time, let me encourage you to get in touch with Pathway to Victory right now to request my brand new book called 18 Minutes with Jesus.

It's about Jesus' sermon on the Mount, which is bold, clear, and above all, it's so practical.

By reading my book, you'll benefit from the wise counsel Jesus gave us on relevant issues such as finding happiness, maintaining sexual purity, and reconciling with our enemies.

Again, the book is called 18 Minutes with Jesus, and a copy of yours, when you include a generous gift to support the growing ministry of Pathway to Victory.
