Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Ask, Seek, Knock

Brothers and Sisters, in this World we have many, many Needs, Wants and Desires, if you Ask, Seek and Knock in this World your Answer may come from Satan and Not Jesus! For we MUST Weigh The Spirit Behind All that we receive if it be of Jesus or if it be of Satan.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 KJV

"¹⁴ And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."

Yes, before any says that these Scriptures are talking about the False Christ, that is correct. What I am trying to establish is that Satan has been given Power in this World to Manifest Lies. We think that the Only place that Satan can attack in is Our Thoughts, but he can Attack Our Flesh and Our Prayers. Yes, Satan is Defeated as far as The War that Jesus fought on Our Behalf, but The Battles we must contend with every day. We Must have Spiritual Discernment to Understand that which we have in front of us, is it of Jesus or is it of Satan, ALL THINGS Must be weighed, from objects to people, from where to live and not to live, what to buy or not to buy and the list goes on, ALL THINGS Must be weighted!!!

Our Lord and Savior Jesus has told us to Ask, Seek and Knock which is Our Commitment to Jesus as Lord.

Matthew 7:7-11 KJV

"⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ⁹ Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

We Must Understand that our Prayers, except that with Tongues, Satan Hears and if it is within His Power he can give a False Answer to lead you astray, to try and trick you in going another Direction than that of Jesus Desire. There are many, many things that I have Ask, Seek and Knock to Our Lord Jesus, finding that Satan has Produced a Lie BEFORE Jesus given answer. Sometimes we Grasp for an Answer, but is that Answer from Jesus? I have Seen and Experienced such things, but, if we Truly Listen for Our Lord’s Voice we cannot go wrong.

Look at What Satan did with Our Lord Jesus…

Matthew 4:3-11 KJV

"³ And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. ⁴ But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. ⁷ Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ⁸ Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; ⁹ And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ¹¹ Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."

In every instance of Jesus being Tempted, Satan had the Power and Authority to give to Jesus, how much more Satan can do these things to us, unless we Discern the moment every time! Some things in my Life I have Asked, Seek and Knocked and I was presented with an Answer that I took as from Our Lord, only finding that it was Not Jesus who had given, but was given of Satan our advisory. Praise Jesus for His Deliverance of such things!!!

We Walk in a World that Satan has Power and Dominion over, which is over Our Fleshly Desires as well. We Must Discern everything that We have Prayed for, making sure that it is from Our Lord Jesus and not some trick of Satan to draw us into a direction of Ungodliness.

Brothers and Sisters, continue to Ask, continue to Seek, continue to Knock, but when an Answer comes, do Not Run and Receive before You Discern by The Holy Spirit rather it is of Jesus or not. Too many have accepted False Answers and have regrated in getting them, falling into Satan’s Trap Of Deception.

Let me make it perfectly clear, when Jesus was Tempted, Satan did not Lie, he told the Truth of What he could do if only Jesus would give in, so consider that, Satan DID NOT LIE TO JESUS!!! But Jesus, being The Son Of The Father and Being The Living Word Of The Father, answered Satan with a Greater Truth!!! We Must Discern the Answer with a Greater Truth in us, that is, The Holy Spirit.

We Must Believe and have Faith that Jesus will Answer our Prayers, but we must also be alert in Receiving An Answer.

Matthew 10:24-26 KJV

"²⁴ The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant above his lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household? ²⁶ Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."

I took the whole of Scripture so that no one misunderstands me. We, Church, are not above our Lord Jesus and if Jesus can be Tempted with a Fleshly Truth, then so can we!!! But I want you to pay attention to Verse 26, “…nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known”. We can Discern All Things if we are Patient and Continue to Seek Jesus for an Answer that is set before us.

There was one time I was Praying for a truck, about 6 months. I was Enticed by Cars, Jeeps and even some Trucks, but by being Lead by The Holy Spirit, I refused them all, because they did not have Jesus Seal Of Approval on them. After about 6 months I was led to a part of the city that I was not used to, The Holy Spirit was strong and I found Two Trucks that I Felt Jesus Anointing on. I Asked The Lord which one was His Choice and He told me to Choose that He would take care of which ever one I Chose. So I did. Now Understand this as well, I was working Contract Work, which means I could lose my income at any given moment. A couple of months after getting my truck, it happened, I lost my job. I Prayed about loosing my job to Jesus and about the Truck Payment…I never missed a Truck Payment and it is now paid off and running great!!! When The Answer is from Jesus and you Receive that Answer, then You Are Blessed By The King!!!

The point of this message is that you need to continue to Ask, Seek and Knock, but do not run and take any Answer before Discerning The Giver Of The Answer. Satan is out to Kill, Steal and Destry US, The Church, Born Again, Blood Bought and Satan does not care How he does it or with Whom he may use to do it!!!

 John 10:10 KJV

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."

If you Walk in the Flesh then Satan is Your Lord and if you Walk in The Spirit, Jesus is Your Lord, it sounds like a simple task, a simple way of Life, but it is The Hardest to Walk! You can weigh Your Life, if you are Not going through Daily Battles with Satan, then I would check Your Walk. Since I have Accepted Jesus, when I was 13 and now about to turn 65, I have been in one Battle after another dealing with Satan. Satan wants us to Fall, he wants us to Fail, he wants us to Follow Him, he wants to have Your Life by any form of Deception he can produce.

The Gift of Spiritual Discernment was The First Gift that Jesus gave to me and I have use it every day since, but that does not mean I still have not fallen at times because of my flesh. While we Live in this World, we will always be in Battle with Our Flesh…

Romans 6:16 KJV

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"

Galatians 5:16-18 KJV

"¹⁶ [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. ¹⁸ But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."

 Understand Church!!! These Scriptures go beyond what happens within, but also deal with what happens without. Example, you pray for a friend and one come’s your way, who seems to be a good person while they are present with you, but when away from you is practicing Satan Worship. Not Discerning in The Spirit, you would fall into a Trap that Satan laid before you. There are thousands of examples of such things that Look like they are Answers to Prayers but are not from Jesus, but Satan.

As these days grow shorter in the coming of Jesus, so will the Trickery of Satan grow, even so much that we, The Church, could be deceived. Always Pray about everything, including Answers, Walk In The Spirit and Not by Your Flesh is only half the Battle!!!

Amen and Amen!!!
