Matthew 7: 7-8 “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.”

The Scene: A pair of large wooden doors—representing access to our Father God, through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, Savior, as we’re led by His Holy Spirit.

Sometimes a simple request is all it takes for our prayers/ requests to be answered.

Promise for the time of the new heavens and new earth: Isaiah 65:24 “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”

At other times, the Lord wants us to draw nearer to Him, which requires persistence and diligence. So knock until the door is opened; until then we patiently wait.

God’s answer is always,”No, yes, or wait!” God will not answer, “Maybe. “

2 Corinthians 12:8-9 “Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
