"Ask & It Will Be Given to You" but What Am I Asking?

The reason we ask of the Father is because it is through His Word that He creates in us a need that only He can fill - the power of redemption. The Bible also teaches that the Word is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who believe, it is the power of God. If we ask not, God will not create the spiritual need for Him that leads to redemption. But when Christ is lifted up, to those who see, they are drawn to the Cross of their Salvation. So preach the Word, because faith comes through hearing.
