SEEK AND KNOCK

I
am thankful to Rev. Gill TAE SIK who gave me an opportunity and honor
to share the word of God in Mammin Church Tajean Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to speak to you about the Ask, Seek and Knock. I hope Lord
Jesus Christ will guide me through the Holy Spirit. Please open your Bible. Matthew 7:7; “ASK and
it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will
be opened to you.” The
verse, which is read in front of you, has a deep link with every Christian
family, because in this verse there are three lessons for all of us.
1. ASK, and you will be given
2. Seek, you will find
3. Knock and the door will be opened for you. According to these three
lessons, it is very necessary for every Christian to know how to ASK,
seek and knock. So we can live our life according to this and other peoples
also live their life according to our pattern. And they bring their faith
on Lord Jesus Christ who is the only savior in the world. when we combine
all three things that is ASK, Seek and knock, it become a prayer. It means
we can ask, seek and knock through prayer. It
is very necessary to get combine for asking. Matthew 18:19:“Again,
I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for,
It will be done for you by my father in heaven.” The verse which is read
that is combine prayer, so what ever we ask with the combine prayer, that
is done. Lets see one more example of the combine prayer in the bible. Acts 12:5:“So Peter was
kept in prison but the church was earnestly praying to God for him” Here Peter is in prison
and he is under the guard of four soldiers. But the congregation was praying
for Peter with their whole heart. God listened to the prayer of the congregation.
And the God’s Angel came and prison got shine with the light. God’s Angel
kept his hand on Peter’s side and wakes him up. The prison door and the
main gate were opened by itself. Peter was thinking he was having a dream. But my dears, when we
pray combine the closed door are opened automatically. Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah Amen. But we should have a
faith and believe with the unity. Matthew 21:22: - “If you believe, you will receive what ever
you ask for in prayer.” If you will agree, you
will find in your prayer but if your faith is weak then what ever you
ask from God you never receive it, because you have a week faith. If you agree and believe
in prayer and you ask for God may be your prayer listen by God. But
if agree and faith is found in your prayer and you do not have believe.
Do you know what happening in your prayer? You never understand. What
happening? What happening and everyday you pray and your prayer will empty
because you don’t have proper believed. I give you an example, In the morning I asked
about her fever, He said she has no more fever. Hallelujah Amen. Why that girl got healed
because I am prayer I have agree, faith, believeth that she was healed
in Jesus Christ name. I will read more examples
from Bible. Mark 11:24:“Therefore
I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received
it, and it will be yours”. Did you carefully listen
what I read in Mark 11:24, that we should have a strong believe that what
ever we have asked from God, that is done means, we have received that. So agree, faith and believe
is must be in your prayer to ask something to Lord of God and that will
be provided to you. Until now I had told
you, which things are necessary in our prayer. Did you understand how
we should ask from God. Now for a short while
we will considerate on Seek and you will find. Proverbs 8:17;“I love
those who love me and those who seek me find me.” When we love Lord our
God with our whole heart and mind and live according to his commandments.
And we always keep his teaching and words in our thought. That means we
are seeking him and we find him. But
the question is? Does Lord our God found the unity in our prayer. Do we
have a faith & strong believe? That we have asked him and we seek
him through the prayer. So you must understand every thing is done for
you. But now we need to knock the door, but through whose name we need
to knock the door. It is very important to know this. Lets find out this
in the Holy Bible that what commandment we have received for this. Revelation 3:20: - “Here
I am stand at the door and Knock. If any one hear my voice and opens the
door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me”. Whose voice is this,
who is knocking at the door of your heart. Do you know? Raise your hand
and tell me whose voice is this. If congregation will say yes, Jesus!
Then say yes, Jesus knocking your heart. But if congregation will
say nothing, need to explain them that this voice is of Lord Jesus Christ.
And the commandment, which He has given to us, we can read in the Book
of John. John: 14: 14, 15:- “14You may ask me for any thing
in my name and I will do it. 15If you love me, you will obey
What I command.” John: 15:16: -
“You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that
to go and bear fruit, Fruit that will last. Then the Father will give
you whatever you ask in my name”. John 16: 23, 24: -“23
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth,
My Father will give you whatever you ask in my name, Until now you have
not asked for any thing in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your
joy will be complete. Jesus
Christ is knocking at our door and giving us a call. In the Book of John
we have read that we also need to knock the door of the God’s heart, so
that it could be open for us, and have to ask in the name of Jesus Christ
Amen How many of you had attended
the last year revival meeting of Rev. Lee Jae Rock. Any one of you remembers
that what was the key verse of his last meeting. It was John: 14:12-13. Dear congregation If
agree, faith and believe is found in your prayer and you love him. But
you don’t ask in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, you will not be able to
receive. In book of John chap. 14 verse 14 has quoted that “You may ask
anything in my name” and in verse 15 it is quoted That If you love me,
you will obey what I command”. Then the father will give you if you ask
in my name. I tell you my way of
asking this testimony is to make your faith strong. One catholic father
rang me and said, one man in his congregation is demon possessed. You
come with me in the morning and pray for him. I went with him In that
house I shared the word of God and then I preyed on that person, The duration
of meeting was three hours. God healed that person. In the second week of
April that person rang me and told me that we are praying the way you
told us, and according to your saying we are seeing a light in our house
and some times we hear a knock on the door and we get scared. I told him
that Jesus Christ wants to give you a Baptism of the Holy Spirit and he
wants you to pray in the tongues. I told him to read John Chap: 14, 15,
16, I said brother when you will see the light again in the room. You
say Jesus I am listening to your voice. I kept the phone & said to
Jesus that, you fill him with the Holy Spirit. Suddenly Jesus wants me
also to prayer for him. I told my wife that I am going to pray. When I
was praying tears was flowing from my eyes. I was praying for that family.
My wife also joined me. After 1½-hour telephone started ringing, and kept
on ringing first I thought that Satan wants to break my link with the
Lord Jesus Christ. But phone was kept on ringing I stopped my prayer and
received the telephone. The daughter of that person said that uncle congratulation
my father has got the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and he is praying in
the tongues. Hallelujah, Amen. Dear congregation, when
we pray and ask in the name of Jesus Christ and our prayer is consist
on agree, faith, believe & our heart is fill with his love then our
prayer is surely accepted by God. If you don’t have any
experience in asking by Jesus name, from now you ask by his name from
the father you will see God will bless you and your family. Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Amen. |
