He also said plainly that he would be coming within the lifetimes of the people around him. Not soon as in some thousands of years later, but soon as in give up all your possessions because you're not going to need to plan for the future.
This the way I interpret these two comments Jesus made to his disciples:
As far as "ask and you will receive", he also said that to receive answers from prayer we must pray according to his will and pray in the in the name of Jesus. When you pray according to his will, you're saying that your desire is to do the will of God. If you pray that you can accomplish a difficult task, and it is God's will that you do so, he will give you the power to carry it out.
"The Son of Man coming on the clouds" is language used in the bible to speak of punishing acts carried out by God on kingdoms, cities, etc. I believe Jesus was speaking of God's coming wrath on the Jewish nation in AD 70, when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans, and brought about the end of the Jewish sacrificial system.
These are my thoughts. If you search around, you can find different views than mine by prominent Christians.
