“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
—Matthew 7:7

Reflection

Beloved, the Lord doesn’t want us to stay where we are. Father God wants to bring you and me into a fuller and bigger place in the Spirit. He wants more for us because He is a God of more. There’s always more in God. There are always higher heights and deeper depths in Him, and it’s going to be like this forever.

There is more for you and me in Messiah Jesus. There is a fuller peace, a fuller victory, a fuller joy, and a fuller experience of Him. Our God is continuously, effervescently, effortlessly, eternally bubbling up. He’s always new. He’s always fresh. He’s always more.

That’s why the angels in Revelation 4 don’t cease crying out day and night, “Holy, holy, holy.” They say this forever and ever because every time they say, “Holy,” they’re responding to a new revelation of the glory of God. Every time they say, “Holy,” it’s like a fresh wave of who God is rolls over them. Every time they say, “Holy,” it’s like their breath has been taken away. They are continually overwhelmed with a new wave of God’s goodness and glory.

God has more for you and me. He wants to enlarge our borders and bring us into a deeper realm of shalom, a deeper experience of fullness in the Holy Spirit, and a deeper place of knowing Father God.

Beloved, there’s more for you.

Keep asking and keep seeking, because as you continue to ask, as you continue to seek, and as you continue to knock, God’s going to bring you into more. That’s what makes living for Messiah Jesus exciting. It’s a walk of discovery; a discovery of the more.

And as God enlarges us, we should also desire a supernatural consciousness of His favor on our lives. Father, wherever I go, let Your hand be with me. Be with me. Give me favor and open up the way for me wherever I go.

Jacob was blessed everywhere he went because God was with him. Not only that, but also those connected to Jacob were blessed as well.  

I believe that’s what God wants for you and me. He wants to bless us, and He wants everybody who is connected to us to be blessed and better off for having been in relationship with us.

He blesses us to make us a blessing.

Application

• Keep asking, seeking, and knocking, believing that there are still deeper places of peace, joy, fullness, and knowing Father God ahead of you.
• Ask God to let His hand be with you so that His blessing on your life also becomes a blessing to those connected to you.

Prayer

Father God, thank You that there is always more in You. Bring me into a deeper realm of shalom, a fuller experience of the Holy Spirit, and a deeper place of knowing You. Keep my heart asking, seeking, and knocking, expecting fresh revelation of Your goodness and glory. Let Your hand be with me, give me favor, and open the way before me wherever I go. Bless my life in such a way that those connected to me are blessed and better off because of Your work in me. Amen.
