We must first get rid of the evil in order to receive the promises. Psalm 144:11-15 says . . .
"Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace.
That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and then thousands in our streets:
That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
Happy is that people that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people whose God is the Lord."
