Don’t Stop Asking
Matthew 7:7-11; Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asks, receives, and he that seeks, finds, and he that knocks, it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you whom if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, HOW MUCH MORE shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?
Jesus, teaching the multitude, makes it clear to them, that they have to do the asking, seeking, and knocking. This means that we must go before God, and enquire of Him, even though Jesus also said that our Father knows what things we need even before we ask, Matthew 6:8. Jesus said don’t worry about what to eat, drink or wear, (these are three necessities of life), and God already supplies it to this world. Matthew 6:25.
Ask, and it shall be given to you, the meaning of this verse, is to keep on asking, until it’s given, keep on seeking, until you find it, keep on knocking, until the door is opened to you. This is the same as John 3:16, that whosoever believes, (Keeps on Believing, and endures unto the end) will not perish, but have eternal life.
St. John 15:7; If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
Mark 11:24; Whatever things you desire when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them.
1 John 5:15; This is the confidence (assurance, boldness) that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us, and if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of him.
HOW MUCH MORE will your Father give good things to them that ask Him!
Don’t you realize you are more important than the birds of the air? But God sees every one that falls. Don’t you know if God brings a blanket of grass and flowers to cover the fields, that will get roasted in the hot sun, that He knows how to take care of you? Don’t you realize He knows how to calm every storm, bring peace to every heart, heal ALL manner of sickness and disease, break every form of Addiction, bring deliverance in all areas of your life!
Don’t Stop Asking..Don’t Stop Seeking.. Don’t Stop Knocking on heavens door! How Much More will your Father give good things simply by you asking Him, and believing He will do it.
God bless.
