Luke 11:9 - Ask, and it will be given to you

9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

We shouldn’t be moved just by needs but by leading of the Holy Spirit. Our way of living is not by needs and circumstances but by faith, led by the Holy Spirit. We can speak to a situation, send the Word to a situation or give a command. To ask and speak versus giving a command is very different. When we command, we stand and in the authority of Jesus. When we come to the Lord and ask, we don’t command Him.
