The problem is that Scriptures are pulled out of the Bible and used in ways that they were not meant; out of context. In so doing, people are hurt, they question their faith, and wonder why the prayers aren't answered. I can't tell you how many times the congregation was called up front and told to join hands with someone to agree together for their answers, quoting this Scripture, but without it having anything whatsoever to do with forgiving. More "name it and claim it" type thing.
God doesn't need people to twist His Word to make it sound better than what it is.
This kind of thing lowers people's trust in the ministry.

Well, the word "ask anything" stands out to me.
Kinda reminds me of "leave thy gift at the altar", or "that your prayers be not hindered".
