Asking

Ask, and God will give to you. Search and you will find. Knock and the door will open for you Matthew 7: 7-8

Ask Search and Knock; God never turns away a sincere seeker. In Second Kings the fifth chapter we have the wonderful story of Naaman being healed.

I ask my church family one Sunday, “What do you do when you don’t like the answer you receive from God?” Look at Naaman, Elisha did not even come to the door to greet him. He sent a servant to open the door and to tell Naaman what to do.

Now you can tell that the great General was not pleased at his greeting by Elisha or the instructions he was given. In fact he just got mad and started home. He did not like the answer. A servant convinced him, since he had come this far and since he had received an answer, why not give it a try? You know of course that he did so and received complete healing. I believe if Naaman had returned home without obeying he would have died of leprosy. Maybe we die to our prayers because we don’t like the answers.
