"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Proverbs 18:10 NKJV
To all you followers of Christ, hearers and doers of the word, the storehouse of heaven is available to you. Anything you ask in the name of Jesus will be given to you. That's what He says. Give me one good reason not to believe it? My God is faithful and true. He follows through with His promises. If you believe he can do it, He says yes! If you believe he wants to do it, He says yes! It is His great pleasure to show up in all areas of our lives! To reveal himself in our circumstance, to be there, in every aspect. He delights in us!
"For everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened." Luke 11:10 AMP
Now, you must know that he is a good Father. Because He knows that sometimes, we know not what we ask for, and the detriment that would come out of that which in that fleeting moment we desire.. So, He also chooses to refrain. And thank God for that! Think about it for a moment. What if he did not refrain from giving us all that we ask for? How often have we thought we wanted something to happen or something we wanted to come to us and later we were so thankful that it didn't. You have heard the phrase, "Hindsight is 20/20?" He is all knowing and that is something that we are unable to fully comprehend, but we can learn to trust Him. That is, trusting it is not his desire to give us things that are not good for us or things that which will hurt us. Still He says, you can ask for anything in His son's name. Be bold in asking! He wants us to ask, and if we truly want this thing to be, we should be persistent in our asking. If we fix our hearts and minds on it, consistently focusing our energy toward it, consistently showing up, taking action steps toward it, he is very likely to come into agreement, and release this desire into our lives. Because it pleases Him!
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Ephesians 3:20 NKJV
