“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. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened. Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? Or is he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? If you, then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven (perfect as He is) give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!” (see also Luke 11: 5-13)
I’m not sure why God wants us to keep asking Him for the things we need. Why He wants us, basically, to keep bugging Him...but it’s laid out here pretty black and white straight from the Man Himself!!!
So, ASK, ASK and ASK again. SEEK, SEEK and SEEK again. He wants us to come to Him for everything we need in our lives...from paying our utility bill, to standing in the gap for our children. And, He wants us to keep asking, keep coming back, keep knocking on His door, and keep seeking. There are gaps in the line of spiritual defense of our children. Who will “stand in the gap” against Satan and his legions of attacks on our children? At the last G3 Summit we committed to each other to “stand in the gap” for each other’s children. This is a spiritual, unseen war our children are fighting. ASK, ASK, ASK.
I pray that we all can get it through our thick skulls that God IS wanting that kind of relationship with us...He wants to be our “go-to” guy. :+) This is a LOVE that we can’t grasp and wrap our heads around for sure...it is a mystery. But He really dares us to try Him out. Don’t grow weary. Be steadfast. Stand. Stand strong for your children.
