ASK, SEEK, KNOCK
Matthew 7:7-8
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
If everyone who lives on earth at this very moment asks of the Lord, it cannot overwhelm Him, it will not jolt Him in anyway. He is able to take care of it, nothing is too hard for Him:
Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
I have heard some teach that our asking is too much, that we should stop seeking, that we have knock too much for that thing. NO. He said ask!
Isaiah 59:1
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Yes, we cannot overburden the Lord with our requests, no, He said we should ask. See He prefers you to bring it in prayer than worry.
The problem comes when we refuse to believe, live in sin and do not worship. And sometimes we ask amiss, away from His will and even to our own harm. For we are limited in sight. Expect a NO then.
Listen:
Matthew 7:9-11
“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Is He your Father?
Malachi 1:6
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to the priests: “A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. If I am your father and master, where are the honor and respect I deserve? You have shown contempt for my name!“But you ask, ‘How have we ever shown contempt for your name?’
We cannot be away from the Lord then just run to Him when we need Help. Man must understand that they cannot be independent, they must serve someone, and if we do not serve our creator, who then will we serve?
So the Lord wants us to ask of Him, He desires that we seek His direction in all things and that we should always be in communion with Him, for once we knock He opens for us to come in. Glory to God.
See, there is nothing so big, so complex that can overwhelm our Heavenly Father. Nothing, whether you bring all the requests of those that have gone, those that are living and those that are yet to come, our minds are not big enough to imagine that thing the Heavenly Father cannot take care of:
Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
So go ahead dear one, don't give up that dream or vision, don't loose focus of that your call or assignment, the obstacles, barriers and fears are just a mirage, if it is the Lord that led you commit it to Him. You will succeed. Yes you will. Just stay in prayer, keep seeking and be at that door to commune. He will open the doors for you.
Thank you Heavenly Father for nothing shall be impossible with us, all things work for our good for we have a Father who is the Jireh. Halleluyah.
He calls us blessed.
Love
