ASK!


"ASK the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone." Zech 10:1


James, the brother of Jesus said that "you do not have because you do not ASK."  Jesus Himself said this, "ASK and it shall be given..."

What a simple thing to do, "ASK", and yet many of us have certain expectations without putting in the effort to ask. We simply just expect. That's presumptious. God wants us to ask. He wants us to conceptualise and verbalise what is it that we want.

In Zech 10:1, God spoke through the prophet to His people (that means you and I too) to ASK for rain in the time of the latter rain. We are living in this time - time of the latter rain. 

ASK for the rain of His Spirit.
ASK for the rain of His glory.
ASK for the rain of His word and revelation.
ASK for the rain of His favour.
ASK for the rain of His blessing.
ASK for the rain of His grace and mercy.
ASK for the rain of His opportunities.
ASK for the rain for the harvests of souls.
ASK!

When we do ASK, He promised to respond by MAKING FLASHING CLOUDS (creating the environment, making the connections, causing the situations to be favourable, opening doors etc), and give the showers of rain. HE WILL RAIN DOWN...and there will be grass in the field for EVERYONE. All will be blessed because someone take it upon himself/herself to ASK!

Someone has to ASK...why not YOU? Why not I?

"Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified." John 14:13

"If you ask anything in My name, I WILL DO IT." John 14:14

"ASK and you will receive, that your joy may be full." John 16:24  

Is there something burning in your heart? Is there someone you want to see blessed? 

Conceptualise it. See it. Verbalise it. ASK!
