" JUST ASK GOD "

Welcome, now it's my desire for you to realize just how much our Lord Jesus Christ loves you. Just imagine all we have to do is ask. Isn't God good, He says to ask and it will be given.

Ask God anything but also expect anything. In the book of Genesis God showed Abraham that asking for anything is allowed, with the understanding that God's answers come from God's perspective. They are not always in harmony with our expectations, for only He knows the whole story. Could it be that you're missing God's answer to a prayer because you haven't considered any possible answer other than the one you want?

Ask and it will be given. Jesus tells us to persist in pursuing God. People often give up after a few halfhearted efforts and conclude that God cannot be found. But knowing God takes faith, focus, and follow-through, and Jesus assures us that we will be rewarded. Don't give up in your efforts to seek God. Continue to ask Him for more knowledge, patience, wisdom, love, and understanding. He will give them to you.

Whenever we need wisdom, we can pray to God, and He will generously supply what we need. As the Kings Kids we don't have to grope around in the dark, hoping to stumble upon answers. We can ask for God's wisdom to guide our choices. Ask Jesus and believe, but know that God does not grant requests that would hurt us or others or that would violate his own nature or will. Jesus' statement is not a blank check. To be fulfilled, OUR REQUEST MUST BE IN HARMONY WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF GOD'S KINGDOM.

God will give to him who ask. Now if you're feeling that you've been wronged, often a first reaction is to get even. Instead Jesus said we should do good to those who wrong us. As Christians we are taught to forgive and to love. This is not natural, but it's supernatural. Only God can give us the strength to love as he does. Instead of planning vengeance, pray for those who hurt you. ASK for the Lords intervention to show the Love of God in you. Remember you have not because you ask not.

Until Next Time...
