{{bgw| | {{bgw| Lk 11:9-12 }} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? | ||

God uses knowledge that you have acquired by study, to answer your prayer. Do you wonder why you don't get an answer to your request for wisdom? Maybe because you haven't studied, or when you did study, you were limited by the hostilities of the Nicolaitans. | God uses knowledge that you have acquired by study, to answer your prayer.

'Knocking' is the act of studying with the assistance of the Holy Spirit who guides you in all truth <ref>{{bgw| Joh 16:13 }} Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come [the cross].</ref> and will remind you and help you correlate the things you have learned. <ref>{{bgw| Joh 14:26 }} But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.</ref> | |||
'Knocking' is a 'good work' ordained for you. <ref>{{bgw| Eph 2:10 }} For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.</ref> | |||
You knock with your hands which are a symbol for works. | |||
'''God promises an answer''' | |||
Let's rephrase Luke 11:11,12 after unpacking the symbols: | |||
If a son shall ask 'the body of Christ and grace through the cross' of any of you that is a father, will you give him a 'the law before the cross, and the judgement that comes with it?' or if he ask for 'every word that proceeds from the mouth of God' will he give him a 'lie?' Or if he ask for 'new life' will he offer him a 'sting of death?' | |||
So ask God for the bread, fish and an egg. Then ask for the answers to particular prophetic riddles. | |||
