ASK, SEEK AND KNOCK

"The Lord promised that if we ask, He will give it to us. But many of us are in the middle of the night and in the darkness. Someone said, great faith will manifest its true color when the critical situation emerges. When the bible stated, ask, seek and knock, this meant that we will go through many trials and errors. We must ask until we receive an answer. We must seek until we find and we must knock until we have it opened. I understand that it is not going to be easy but it must be accompanied by our activated faith. This will be a way for us to live. Our prayers are asking, seeking, and knocking, then our reality will be changed. As we invest our time in prayer, overcoming hardships, and experiencing trials and errors, we will develop strong solid spiritual muscle. Moreover, the moment the Fire of Holy Spirit pours down on us and with a powerful spark, we will begin the Holy Fire ministry.



God gives individuals difficult problems. But He does not give us an answer sheet. Nevertheless, like a teacher who prepares to hand out a quiz, He also has prepared an answer. He has the key to the solution. Because of the various problems we pray more and go into a deeper faith. Moreover, Holy Spirit will transform us. Therefore,let us not be in such a hurry to receive an answer/solution even if it needs to take long time and even if it seems delayed....



Even this moment, to the people who are placed within the poor surrounding but yet overcoming every difficulties will find theirtreasures. I like to give a comforting word to strengthen them."



Exodus 2:23-25 “Years passed, and the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. 24 God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25 He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.”
