Ask, Seek, and Knock, Without These There’s Limited Success
There has always been an established way of receiving from the Lord. In this way, we are to have the go get’em attitude, and motive. We have not because we ask not, but many times we ask the Lord for things based on selfish inordinate reasons. The Lord won’t give us that which could take us right to hell. If we can’t handle it, it will handle us in a bad way. Seek and you shall find. Many of us won’t seek out for what we desire or need because we predetermine a negative outcome before we even try. To be defeated in your mind before you start is a clear sign of the need to renew your mind with God’s word. Our thought processing needs restructuring after becoming a Christian. Knocking on the door of new endeavors is a vital part of fulfilling our individual destiny and purpose. Knock and you shall receive, is a command from the Lord. We are laborers together with God, so we include Him in everything. Many times it will be necessary to come outside of our comfort zone to get ahead in life. Everyone who knocks, the door will be opened, these are the words of the Lord to encourage us. Be bold, be strong, for the Lord thy God is with you (Joshua 1:9). Keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking until you get what’s yours!
