What an awesome invitation from the Lord. He has given us an open check to ask Him. To Ask means to inquire, place a demand, request or a petition. God has given you the right to inquire and place a demand on Him and when He says "Ask of Me", it is a divine command, a present continuous tense instruction that you have to always follow. The Lord Jesus Christ in Mathew 7:7 said "Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; What a privilege and an honor we have of the Lord, that at any given time we can ask for whatever we desire and as He promised He will perform.
Asking is quite easy but receiving can be challenging for some. The reason its challenging is because of the way we ask. There is a way of asking; its either you ask the "Right way" or the "Wrong way". Asking the "RIGHT WAY" is; Asking in the name of Jesus (John 14, 15:16, 16:23), Asking in Faith (James 1:5-8), Asking Diligently (Deuteronomy 13:14), Asking in agreement (Matt 18:19), Asking in Prayer (Matt 21:22, Mark 11:24) and Asking according to His Will (1 John 5:14-15). When you ask rightly, your joy will be full and complete.
The wrong way of asking is asking for the wrong reason or motive (James 4:3), Asking out of fear or panic, Asking with the wrong attitude, Asking vaguely and Asking by begging. You are not supposed to beg God for anything because He has already given you all you require for life and godliness. All you need do is to place a demand on what is rightfully yours. It's time for us to lay claim on your inheritance. It doesn't matter where you function, ASK OF ME and I will do it.

Declare This: Dearly Heavenly Father, I come boldly to Your Throne of Grace to ask and receive whatever it is I require and want in Jesus name Amen.
