The lord

the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time just as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

In a dream

And he dreamed: A stairway was set on the ground with its top reaching heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down on it.

He said:

“Listen to what I say:
If there is a prophet among you from the Lord,
I make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak with him in a dream.

For God speaks time and again,
but a person may not notice it.

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

After they were gone, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to destroy Him.”

Ask what

That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him: “Ask. What should I give you?”

“Keep asking,

and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

“What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked them.

Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for—believe that you have received

them, and you will have them.

Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

Now this is the confidence we have before Him: Whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
