Summary

Luke 11 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. In prayer you ask for what you already have. Prayer is something like eating. As long as food is outside your body it does you no good. You may possess the food, but it is not nourishing you. prayer is like eating. In Jesus Christ you already have everything you need. It is all yours in Christ. You only must ask. Then in the moment you are nourished by all you have in Christ. We are not asking for what God does not want to give. We are asking for what God has already given us. If we ask, we receive. When we don’t ask, we are no longer nourished by the blessing of all we have. Christ is with us already but until we pray we can’t find him. Then when we seek him in prayer, we find the one who was already there with us. Like the man sleeping next to his wife in bed, who dreams his wife has died and wakes up and finds her there in bed with him. We seek by prayer the one we already have. And we find him again. Have you ever come home late at night and been locked out of your own house and stood knocking at your own door? We knock at the door and we belong here and so the door opens to us. But we must knock daily again and again. Why? Because we keep wandering away. Jesus also says this: the heavenly Father [will] give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! We already have the Spirit and yet we ask for the Spirit. When we ask for the Spirit we are filled.
