Ask, Seek And Knock And HIS Supply Shall be Provided To You!
(Editor's note: The Hebrew notion of Salvation (Deliverance) included much more than forgiveness and eternal life. Salvation meant freedom from debt, worry, fear and sickness. Power over enemies, total victory and possession of a land was integral to the concept. Today many believers have been put off by hyper-prosperity teaching. This teaching may have been responsible for many believers retreating entirely from the True Gospel, which portrays CREATOR as SUPPLIER!
Ask,
Seek, Knock
The principle outlined above is pivotal to our faith. Quite possibly you may have come in to the Kingdom thinking that the struggle was over. The path would be paved with cushions and cotton candy. Nothing (as you now know) could be further from the truth. B.C. (Before excepting Christ) we served the enemy. Now we are his enemy! Actually, he is our enemy. And he has one purpose - to keep us from HIS blessing. In case you are pronounally challenged at this point, little him = satan. Big HIM is CREATOR GOD! Men are often criticized for not asking directions. If this is true, it is due to our pride. Pride can be a bit limiting, especially when it comes to receiving. CREATOR tells us above how we can receive. ASK!!!! Would you like to find something? Something good? Then we must seek. Seek means search. Search means be desperate when you look for something. It is the desperate who will find. Tired of closed doors? Well, you know . . . Start knocking! Keep knocking. If the door still isn't open, knock more and more and more and . . . When to stop knocking? Well, when the door opens. Secret of success in this life. Ask and keep on asking. Seek until you find. Keep on knocking until the door opens. Success comes only to those who will not quit? Feel like quitting? That is great. All you have to do is . . . . DON'T! Don't quit! Press on. Give the devil a heart attack! |
