Encouragement to Ask Luke 11: 9

Read the passage Luke 11

(And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; 
knock, and it shall be opened unto you.)

1. The heavenly Father is very generous with the privilege of asking in prayer.

2. The heavenly Father is very generous as evidenced by His giving of His
only begotten Son for salvation to men.

3. The heavenly Father can be generous even to a believer who is not all
proper in petitioning, because of the precision and rightness of His Son and
the grace of salvation.

4. The emphasis is on the asking, not as much as believer’s would think on
the propriety and manner of request.
Oh, believer honesty places a demand on your self righteous conclusion
about the spiritual propriety of your requests of God. How many times have
you just cried out to God in your need. Propriety was not your priority, but
your need was.

5. God’s generous promise is nonetheless a promise; it is based on the
sufficiency of God’s character, not on the conduct of the believer.

6. If God chooses not to withhold the privileged promise, a believer would 
seem unwise for sure to exclude himself from the promise based upon
his own conclusiveness regarding his own qualities of unworthiness.

7. Oh, believer rejoice greatly in the privilege granted of Christ; avail yourself
of His eternal riches in glory.
Phil. 4: 19
