Is there Anything more Easy to Understand in Life than Knocking at a Door?

Tip! Let us always be aware of the fact that the power that is achieved to do the greater works that are required for Christ, is only gained through fervent prayer and faith in Jesus Christ.

Luke 11:10 says: For every one that [asks receives]; and he that [seeks finds]; and to him that [knocks] it shall be opened.

What did Jesus mean when He said, "...To him that knocks it shall be opened." I believe He was trying to demonstrate to us that it is possible for us as His praying people to enter into the heavenly place where He is seated on the throne as mediator. This is where He presents our petitions to God our Father. This truth is verified by Paul, who wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,

"…Seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God." -- Colossians 3:1.

Jesus described this wonderful truth in His Word when He said, "I am the door..," John 10:7, and again in verse 9 of this same chapter. We can come in through the door, to His presence and pray before Him in the same effortless way that we can go into another room in our home, through an open door. Once we realize this incredible truth, we will discover that it is possible to bring other people, like our friends, families and people we work with, into His presence and talk with Him concerning their needs.

I have taken others into the presence of Jesus many times, and it has been my joyful pleasure. When I saw the truth of this promise, I entered into an agreement of prayer with Christ. It did not happen over night, but by building a relationship with Jesus in prayer, I can honestly say, I do not find it difficult to enter into His presence at anytime, day or night.

The Holy Spirit motivated prophet clearly saw this great truth about Christ when he said,

"...He shall be for a glorious throne to his Father's house." -- Isaiah 22:23.

Is there anything more easy and understandable in life than knocking at a door? Of course not even a little child can knock at a door. But if we have failed to grab the meaning of Christ's simple teachings concerning prayer when He said, "...To him that knocks it shall be opened," please ask Him to open Himself to you. We who are God's children have a magnificent throne in our Father's house. We have every right to come boldly to this wonderful throne of grace to make our requests known unto our heavenly Father. We had nothing to do with this; it is all because of what Jesus did for us; that is why God's everlasting truth will shine with a new light if we will only knock at His door in prayer.
