James 4:2 "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not."

There are steps that must not be ignored if you will see answers to your prayers this month. This we started to dig out since yesterday. After locating the relevant scriptures that assure answers as pointed out yesterday, you must not stop there. The next step is:

(2) ASK. Be ready to ask God what you need. Don't assume He knows. Lots of people assume that. Instead of asking, they end up complaining. You have not because you ask not (Jam 4:2). Don't mistake your complain as prayer. What do you want from God? Ask Him specificly. Dr. Paul Cho said many years ago when South Korea was poor, he asked God for a bicycle. Back then a bicycle was a big blessing. Several months had passed, he had not received the bicycle. He then asked the Lord why it was taking so long for Him to answer this prayer. The Lord said, "Son, you didn't tell Me what kind of bicycle you want. There are different brands, different colours, and different manufacturers. Be specific. What kind of bicycle do you want?"

We need to be specific in our requests. Jesus asked the blind man in Mark 10:42-52, "What do you want me to do for you?" It was obvious that the man wanted his sight. But Jesus never assumed to know his desire. Don't assume that God knows what you need; ask Him. Even if He knows, He is waiting for you to ask Him. Tell Him exactly what you want. He's able, willing and ready to fix you up. Once you are specific in your request, what next? Don't miss tomorrow!

PRAYER: As you lay your desires are on the altar of prayer this month, you shall pick them up as testimonies in Jesus name.
