Bible ask and you shall receive12/9/2023 ![]() While I have never blatantly said those things out loud, and I believe I wouldn’t accept them as truth if someone asked me about them. It has made me think untrue thoughts such as “I don’t need God to heal it” or “I am strong by myself.” ![]() I believe that I have accepted them, and while that has made me “strong” and “capable”, it really hasn’t made me more intimate with my God. Ask, and it will be given to you seek, and you will find knock, and it will be opened to you ( Matthew 7:7 ). I have wanted the Lord to heal my anxiety and unhealthy desire for food for a long time now, but have I ever really rigorously prayed over those strongholds? So who are we to stop asking after a few days? It says we will, therefore eventually we will. ![]() We think that this verse means once we ask, receiving will come soon. You see the Bible doesn’t put a time limit on that verse, but I think sometimes we humans do. But when we ask specifically, and He answers specifically it shows Himself to us and to those around us that we choose to share the glory with.īut I think what we get confused about is how long we should be asking. James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on. Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. I truly believe that is why the Bible says to “ask and we will receive.” If the Lord didn’t want to reveal Himself to His children through His blessings then He would just bless us without us even asking. Bible Verses About Ask and You Shall Receive. 2 For with what a judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what b measure ye mete, it shall be c. Jesus, just like we should, desires to show glory to the Kingdom. Jesus concludes the Sermon on the MountHe commands, Judge not ask of God beware of false prophetsHe promises salvation to those who do the will of the Father. I wonder how many blessings Jesus has desired to give His children, but couldn’t because we decided to limit Him and His power. But we think after a few days, we just deserve an answer, and if we don’t get one then we just assume God said no. A few days or even years is not the same when it comes to His timeline. He has been alive for an eternity and will be for an eternity to come. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall. Faith is a very powerful tool for a Christian, so when you ask, ask in faith and you shall receive what you asked for. We want so badly for God to move and for us to be a part of that movement, but we don’t pray long enough to witness the blessings that God desires to give us. There are a number of passages in the Bible where the Lord Jesus Christ told us to ask. I think sometimes we get so caught up in results that we don’t stay around long enough to witness them.
