There is a paradigm/or pattern in
the scriptures that veils Abba's good intent/or pleasure to give us the
kingdom.
[Luke 12:32]
Contrary to being 'a walk in the
park,' Abba has ordained that the kingdom (even the promises of God) be apprehended
by violent/intense/or forceful “asking” faith.
[Matthew 11:12; Pastor;James
4:2]
In the kingdom, every “no” is a
door(way) to “yes” ...to the Jew first, also to the Greek/Gentile believer.
[Pastor; Romans 1:16]
This paradox, or seemingly contrary,
but true statement, is best illustrated in the persistent neighbor, in [Luke
11:5-10]; the widow and the unjust judge, in [Luke 18:1-8]; and the Gentile
woman, of Canaan, in [Matt 15:22-28]; where each principle (or individual)
faced down imminent rejection (or a “no”), but persevered (in asking) until
they came away with (or laid hold of) the promised “yes.”
ThenSingsMySoul:
HITHERTO HAVE YE ASKED
NOTHING IN MY NAME;
ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE,
THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL!
[John 16:24]
