My Beloved, today I encourage you to keep at it and do not give up. I challenge you to continue asking, seeking, and knocking.
I know the questions you are afraid to ask and why.
I see what has caused you to fear the answer, so you have been silent to avoid disappointment. In the past, people have silenced you when you asked too many times, and you now fear that I will do the same if you keep asking Me. There are many questions and thoughts swirling around you that are hindering your progress and ability to move forward freely. They are creating reluctance in you to ask Me again.
I want to challenge those hindering thoughts. Beloved, be assured that your voice is most precious to Me. I long to hear it and listen to you as you voice your deepest concerns and ask your burning questions.
You have diligently sought Me, My guidance, and My interventions before, so what has caused you to stop hoping and settle into resignation? Was I not trustworthy enough for you? Did other things or people become more important? Has your desire for encounters with Me faded?
Seek Me, My dear child. Let Me challenge you, My dearest, to give it another try. There will be a great reward for those who persevere. Your thinking will be changed and hope in Me will replace resignation.
Activation: Sit with the Holy Spirit and ask him to search your heart for questions you have stopped asking. Let Him show you the situations where you gave up seeking Him and why? Let Him remind you of the locked door you turned away from prematurely and stopped knocking. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the motives and reasons for stopping. Let the Holy Spirit change your thinking and renew your heart. As a prophetic act get up and declare that you will keep asking, seeking and knocking until you hear God’s answer, find God’s solution and experience God’s intervention.
Prayer and the Golden Rule
7 “[a]Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.
9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will [instead] give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will [instead] give him a snake?
11 If you then, evil (sinful by nature) 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 what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.
Matthew 7:7-11 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Matthew 7:7 Here the use of Greek present imperatives (asking, seeking, knocking; vv 7, 8) emphasizes persistent, constant prayer.
35 Do not, therefore, fling away your [fearless] confidence, for it has a glorious and great reward.
36 For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised.
Hebrew 10:35-36 (AMP)
