What do you want me to do for you?

What do you want me to do for you? Matt:20:32

Jesus was very focussed. He very often asks the one whom He was about to heal, "What do you want me to do for you?"

He asked the blind man, the leper, the lame, only to name a few. As if He did not know. Of course the blind wants to see, the leper wants to be healed and the lame wants to walk. Jesus knew it. Then why did He ask them? 

In fact He was asking-

Do you know what you want healing from? 

Do you realise where you have fallen into? 

Do you recognise from where you need to be rescued from? 

Then ask. 

Asking comes out of helplessness and thereby trust. Asking means, I say, I can't do this and I know I need help. If you do not ask you are indirectly saying either, 'I've got this' Or 'I don't care'. Both has rebellion written all over it. 

Jesus also said - Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. Everyone who seeks finds. And to everyone who knocks the door will be opened. 

Jesus continues to say that children ask their father. This is a valid point. When children ask their father, there is love, there is trust, there is relationship. There is authority. A friend's son wouldn't ask me. Only my son. 

Dear one - the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for whom to devour. Looking to devastate. Looking to steal, kill and destroy. But as a child of God, as an heir of God, as co-heir with Christ, with confidence to approach the throne of grace ask your Father. The one who is in you is more powerful than the one who is in the world. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. With that confidence- 

Ask. Seek. Knock. 

Rebuke every other spirit that tries to destroy, on Christ's authority. 

Belive that you have already received.
