Power Of Keeping On

Key Scripture: " So I say to you, ask and KEEP ON asking, and it shall be given you; seek and KEEP ON seeking and you shall find; Knock and KEEP ON knocking and the door shall be opened to you.  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 11:9-13 Amplified

Power Point:

      I know we all have prayers that we've prayed for a long time and yet we don't seem to be getting any closer to the answer. If you look at this parable closely you will see that the supply is not defined or limited by the Giver, it is defined by the persistence of the “ASKER”.  The key seems to be to keep on asking insistently and persistently, or I guess you could say confidently and boldly.  When you know that God's will is always good, acceptable and perfect, you can know that you can keep on with confidence and boldness. When you know what God has promised you is behind door #1, you have more confidence to keep on asking and seeking and knocking until that door is opened.  
     Do you remember the prophet Daniel who had prayed to God yet his answer did not appear immediately?  When the angel finally appeared with the answer, he told Daniel that his prayer had been answered "on the first ring", yet the enemy was trying desperately to be sure that the answers to his prayers would not reach him.  I like the word "desperate".  We tend to forget that the enemy knows that his time is short and his strength is limited when it comes to one of God's children. He is trying everything he can to be sure that we don't get what we ask for. He comes quickly to steal the seed of our faith so that we'll quit asking.  Don't let him do that, Beloved.

      You bear the name of Jesus.  It is the name that is above ALL power and authority anywhere. You are a WINNER!

      You are part of God's army.  You are not alone.  God is standing with you.  He has allowed the battle to teach you to FIGHT ON! He is teaching you who you are in Christ and how to use the divine arsenal of weapons at your disposal.

     You are an overcomer, a winner, and a believer who lives believing that if you keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking at God's door, the answer is only one prayer away.

Don't give up one prayer short of a miracle.  Daniel didn't stop.  We shouldn't either.

      God is not limited in what He has to give us.  He has more than enough.  But like Daniel, we have to learn that truth deep in our hearts so that it will give us the courage and the boldness to keep on, keeping on.

     Don’t miss your miracle by giving up too soon. Ask, and keep on asking. And then ask again.

Power Thought:

Sometimes you just have to keep on keeping on don’t you? It never hurts to ask, does it?
