Ask And It Will Given To You; Seek & You Will Find; Knock And The Door Will Be Open To You
Arm Yourself With Fire And Might
MATHEW 7:7-8
“”Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
”Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV

God is faithful and on view to all. One only needs to look into the sky at night and consider the complexity of His creation. “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse (ROMANS 1:20),” all who seek will find Him.
Jesus tells us to persist in our search for God. Yet many give up after a half-hearted search and conclude that He cannot be found.
But the truth is, all who seek will find Him.
Getting to know God takes effort and faith, but we can all see Him in His creation.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork (PSALM 19:1). Therefore be focused, follow through, and Jesus assures us , we shall find Him.
Keep calling out to Him; ask Him for more knowledge, patience, understanding, and His love, for He is faithful to give it all.
Jesus said, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
Knock, and His door shall be opened. Furthermore, Jesus said, “whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it (JOHN 14:13-14).”
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
Matthew 7:8 NKJV
God is faithful to provide one’s every need, but He will not give us anything that we cannot handle.
He will not give an abundance of money that will drag one into sin, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
I Timothy 6:10 NKJV
He will not give a position or authority that will drag one into pride, nor poers that we can’t handle. He will not fund selfish ambitions. But He will meet all one’s needs and make a way where there’s no way to fulfil His plans and purposes in one’s life.
The prosperity Jesus does not work; He does not promise riches in this life.
But He brings godly wealth, not based on money and things of the world, but on the peace and joy that comes through faith in Christ Jesus.
The peace and joy that come from the things of this world, such as money and status are temporary, but the peace and joy that come through Christ is eternal.
Jesus is our blessed assurance of today, tomorrow, and forever. His peace surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:7), and joy in the Lord is our strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
My beloved, we can do nothing good and lasting without the Holy Spirit, the more of Him and the less of us, equals joy and peace in Christ.
But to serve at the highest levels, we need the seven Spirit of God.
“And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
Revelation 5:6 NKJV
My beloved, as spoken through Isaiah, “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.”
Isaiah 11:1-5 NKJV
My beloved, the seven Spirits of the Lord are available to all believers, ask and it will be given and His powers unlimited, “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.”
John 3:34 NKJV
In addition to the seven Spirits of God, to battle the enemy, we need God’s fire within.
John the Baptist said, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
Matthew 3:11 NKJV
Again, ask and it will be given, for whoever ask shall receive.
It is then my beloved at your hand, the signs and wonders will follow. The sick shall be healed, the dead shall be raised, the lepers cleansed, and the demons shall flee (MATHEW 10:8).
You shall shine for Christ, and you shall say, ““The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.”
Psalms 23:1-6 NKJV
Truly I tell you again and again, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
