Someone asked me the other day....What's the difference between "Ask, seek and knock" in "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Matthew 7:7)
Asking is simple as when a child prays. Some prayers are answered by God just by asking.
What does one do when nothing happens when we ask. Jesus said, "seek"
Seek actually means "To try to locate or discover; search for" What's there to serach? Search for things that are hindering your prayers from being answered by God. Something that's not pleasing to God in your life. That may be a stumbling block. Investigate yourself and your relationship with God. Everything's clear, but still no answer.
Now what's to be done? Jesus said "knock". Knock on the doors of heaven. Add fasting to your prayer if prayer alone doesn't work. Fasting can overcome doubts and unbelief that hinders our prayers from being answered.
If one knows the combination, it's easy to open the lock.
