Ask.....

Matthew 18:19-20 NIV:
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.  For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

There is an authority and a responsibility God has bestowed upon us who are His children- the grace of asking. It is both a privilege and a responsibility because an understanding of its power unlocks oppourtunities and change that had been thought impossible. The words above were spoken, not by a prophet under inspiration, but by the Lord Jesus himself, and his words are backed up with his never-changing, ever-constant power, presence and purpose.
God has given us a power that no other person can guarantee- that we can change our lives, circumstances and fortunes by asking. All we need to do is to agree with someone on anything, and that thing is settled. Looks like a tall order? The bible is replete with accounts of people who moved mountains, received healings, got life restored and shut death up simply by asking. There's something about the Word of God that is effective and effectual; there's something about what God says and never forgets, no matter how long it takes for that thing to come to pass. What is required of me is to find out what it is that God wants and ask in line with his purpose. It is a settled fact that God will always honour his Word and bring his Word to fulfilment, but he's looking for children who know their stand and can declare his Word and get results.
Many times, what we do is complain and murmur about our situations, or we simply talk about it to people who have their own issues and simply could not care less what happens to you. God alone is the One who truly cares and he alone is the one who will accomplish that which his children demand of him.
Let us ask him; he always hears and listens, and his power is inconquerable and unquestionable. We deny ourselves the best God has on offer when we do not ask him for anything. Ask, until your joy is full and your breakthrough is complete. His time of favour is here.
