Notes:
- The receivers, finders, and door openers are followers of Christ.
- The receivers, finders, and door openers are lead by the Holy Spirit.
Four things we must know when we present ourselves and our requests to God:
- He loves us
- We're his children
- We must ask, seek, and knock with faith
- Our requests fulfill his purpose
Why are we afraid to ask?
- Feelings of unworthiness
- False humility
- We failed to receive things in the past
- A holy request brings God's goodness
Why are we reluctant to seek?
- We don't know what, when, where, or how
- We're using methods that seem right
- We don't know how to use and operate our spiritual eyes and ears
- We keep seeking with all our hearts to find him and his plans
Why are we afraid to knock?
- the nature of our relationship with God
- there's more than one door to knock on
- we have a fear of being turned away
- we need a greater revelation of the love of God
