Rev Dr Duane A Martin DD's comment on 2021-04-04 18:46:02:

This passage is much more than ironic but a perfect typology of the 2nd Chapter of Acts. None were asking for things but their soul purpose was to glorify God. Though it is not wrong to pray for healing, financial blessings, and other needs, when we focus on Glorifying God from the beginning, before going into the mode of asking, we are inviting the presence of God first and foremost. Let's stop being selfish with what we want and do what God wants, the praise and worship that He, and He alone is due. You will then find that God is more than willing to satisfy your needs.

Enter His courts with prayer requests? No, "Enter his courts with Praise and Thanksgiving," and "In all things give thanks for this is the will of God concerning you." "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me." This is the apex of drawing the presence of God where we may abide in. It becomes crucial for revival.
