Pastor David Asscherick discusses Chapter 12 of Ellen White's Christ's Object Lessons, titled 'Asking to Give,' which examines the parable of the persistent friend found in Luke 11. David explores Ellen White's commentary on Jesus' teaching about prayer, emphasizing that God is our Father who longs to hear our requests. The chapter reveals that we are to pray persistently and audaciously, not because God is reluctant to answer, but because He delights to give. David shares how timely this message was for him personally during a season of fasting and urgent prayer, explaining that we receive from God that we may bless others—asking to give, blessed to bless. He emphasizes that God's love is immeasurable and that our prayers fall on His ears as music, encouraging believers to approach their Heavenly Father with shameless persistence and unwavering faith.
