Asking, Seeking, or Knocking: Knowing the Season of Knocking
Matthew 7:7-8
This message explores the wisdom needed to recognize when the Lord is leading his people into a season of knocking: persistent, expectant pursuit at the threshold of what God is about to open. The message holds together natural seasonal transition and spiritual transition, reminding the church that God moves his people from season to season and from glory to greater glory. It leaves the heart with hope that believers are not wandering aimlessly. God is guiding, encouraging, and leading them into new places if they remain attentive and responsive. Discern the spiritual season you are in and respond appropriately. If this is a season of knocking, remain persistent, hopeful, and ready at the doors God sets before you. Let transition move you toward greater glory rather than uncertainty. Lord, help us recognize the seasons you are leading us through. Teach us to knock with faith, wait with hope, and step forward when you open the door.
