Ask, Receive - Seek, Find - Knock, Open

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Luke 11:9-10

Don’t back out of your goals and dreams because of fear! Heck NO!  Instead, look fear straight on and tell it to get behind you and eat your dust.

Friends, God’s Word says to ask, seek, and knock, so do it in order to obtain your prayers, goals, dreams, and desires!  His Word states that when you do, you will receive, you will find and doors will be opened for you.  Thus, go for it!  Go BIG – Go ALL-OUT – Stand STRONG, remembering to never look back!!

The day our lives truly begin

" ... What do you want Me to do for you? They answered Him, Lord, we want our eyes to be opened! And Jesus, in pity, touched their eyes; and instantly they received their sight and followed Him." 
Matthew 20: 32-34 AMP

Call out to Jesus, ask Him to open your eyes - the eyes to your soul.  Ask Him to help you truly see!

Friends, today is a day to note somewhere in your books (journal, computer, calendar), because I believe, and trust, that the moment we call on Jesus to open the eyes of our soul, we will look back and say, This was the day that my life truly began!

Praise Jesus!!

When God opens your eyes.

"Just then God opened her eyes...".  Genesis 21:19, The Message, Pg 43

When you focus on, and live for, God, He will make sure you never miss your blessings, answers, or new directions.

Keep your heart open.

"... and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said ..." Acts 16:14 AMP

Ask God to keep your heart open to the voices around you.  I believe that too many words are ignored or discounted when they, in fact, could be the words God wants you to hear in order for your breakthrough to come to pass.  

So, ask God to let your ears hear what He wants you to hear, and when someone speaks words that touch the depths of your heart, then that may be your clue to act upon them. 

Keep on asking, seeking, knocking!

"Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 AMP

There are a lot of times when we ask for something out of emotion, (excitement, depression, anger, joy, fear, doubt, etc.,), that is why I believe this verse tells us to keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking, because once we settle down from emotion, we will probably realize that what we ask for is pretty darn absurd, (dangerous or damaging for our lives), and we will immediately stop praying for it.  If God were to give us everything we asked for the first time we asked, then we would surely want to give a lot of it back, right?!  However, when God sees and hears us continually asking, continually knocking, continually seeking, not only does it show Him that we are truly serious, but it gives us time to fine tune our wants into wants that are good and God-approved, and gives us time to refrain from wants that could damage, or hinder, our lives.

So, if you think that God doesn't hear you, or see your heart, He does!  He knows exactly what to give you!  However, before He does, He wants you to be asking, seeking, knocking for the same thing, otherwise you may not end up with the best for you life.  So, pray consistently about what you are asking, seeking, and knocking for, and I believe that you will get to a point where you know in your heart that what you are asking, seeking, and knocking for, is exactly what God wants to give you.  Then, it will be at that very moment, the moment you pray for what God has waiting for you, your wish will come flooding into your life, filled with His all-powerful light and blessing, and no forces of darkness will ever be able to take it away from you.  Praise God - Hallelujah!!
