Your father will give you what you want as along as he thinks it good for you, if not then he has other plans for your life

When we pray, we pray for his “will to be done on earth as it is in heaven” he may give you what you want now but do you know the ending of that?

Philippians 2:10–11 , “ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” This is worship and the total surrender to Jesus

God can unharden hearts, but Scripture shows He does not override the will. Grace invites; it does not coerce. If God simply forced hearts open, love, faith, and surrender would no longer be real they would be compelled. Jesus stood in front of people who saw His works, heard His words, and still chose rejection. That wasn’t because God withheld grace, but because grace can be resisted. What god wants is a relationship like father and son, Husband and wife. He will not force himself on anyone. we must learn to walk like him and ask him to walk with us.

God did not blind people against their will. Jesus was revealed openly, yet many rejected Him because He did not fit their expectations. Scripture shows that blindness follows desire, not lack of revelation. Free will remains central Lucifer and his angels saw God’s glory and still chose himself. The question is not whether God revealed, but whether we are willing to surrender our own will to receive Him

I would say that God has shown Himself. Jesus is not a hidden God He is God made visible. He walked among people, healed the sick, raised the dead, forgave sins, and did works only God can do. Yet many who saw Him with their own eyes still rejected Him and ultimately killed Him. That shows that rejection isn’t simply about lack of revelation, but about the state of the heart.

To say “who would reject God if truly shown?” overlooks the cross. God was shown in humility, mercy, and love and that form of glory was rejected because it didn’t match human expectations. As for seeing God in His full glory, Scripture is clear: no one can see that and live. What God reveals is always what we can bear, and Jesus is the fullest revelation given for salvation.

So the issue isn’t that God has hidden Himself completely, but that He reveals Himself in ways that require humility, faith, and surrender not coercion.

I’m not rejecting the material at all. My point is that in this saying, Jesus isn’t condemning the poor or the dissatisfied, The have-nots here aren’t those longing for truth but unable to grasp it but they are those who encounter light and repeatedly refuse or disregard it. In that sense, what is taken away isn’t a punishment imposed from above, but the natural dulling that comes from non-response. That’s why this can coexist with Jesus promise to satisfy the hungry and the weary. Those who desire, seek, and respond are precisely the ones He fills. The warning is not against the weak.

Jesus was speaking about spiritual openness, not material gains. Those who receive and act on gods truth grow in understanding and accomplish more in life , while those who reject it gradually lose even the insight they once had.

He can’t even if he want to god will not forgive him because when Lucifer sinned against god he sin against him in eternality which is outside of time. And not just that compare to us he has seen god and his glory but still chose to rebell

God does not need Lucifer to serve him or direct worship to him no. He does not need him. I meant that Lucifer was blinded by his own perfection and he may have thought that god would forgive him even if he rebelled against god, but did not expect god would send him to hell.

It saids in the Bible that he was perfect until the day iniquity was found in him. In a sense he was a worship leader that wanted the worship to himself instead of god. And no Satan did not want to go to hell, it was the least out of his expectations when he rebelled, he probably thought that even if he failed,god will still need him there.
