God tells us we should ask Him to provide for our every need. He wants us to be persistent. He tells us to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17) and that men ought always to pray, and not to faint (Luke 18:11And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (Luke 18:1)). Twice He tells us to ask, seek, and knock (Luke 11:99And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Luke 11:9)). As we do this we have His promise that the answer will be given, found, and opened to us. If you line these words up in a vertical column you will have spelled “ask” twice.
Ask
Seek
Knock
He tells us in Matthew 18:1919Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 18:19) JND, “If two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from My Father who is in the heavens. For where two or three are gathered together unto My name there I am in the midst of them.” What power is available to those who are praying together to God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
