That is the knock part of ask seek knock.
Read the story of the persistent neighbor again. He knocked till he got what he was looking for. You quit after the God of the universe did not meet your time frame.
Pretty typical Christian justification..
"Seek and ye shall find"
"I tried...didn't find God"
"You didn't do it right"
Because obviously the problem is with the seeker, and not the fact that we don't hear the same sky-vocies you do.
Read what I said again. To ask seek knock as out lined in luke 11 is a three part exercise. God does not say ask and seek and I will come running. He takes the time to come up with a parable that includes knocking. Knocking in His parable is the key to the whole thing. I have no doubt that most of you who have ask and sought did so earnestly. Even so you all will be the first to admit that you did not stick around to complete the knocking portion of Christ's command.
If God tells you to do ABC and He will give you 123, is it reasonable to expect 123 if you only did AB?
