PRINCIPLES OF KNOCKING

1. KNOCKING WORKS!

Mat 7:7 “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. KEEP KNOCKING, AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED FOR YOU.

PARABLE OF THE PERSISTENT WIDOW WHO NEVER STOPPED KNOCKING EXPLAINS THAT KNOCKING WORKS!

Luk 18:2 He said, “In a city there was a judge who didn’t fear God or respect people.
Luk 18:3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
Luk 18:4 For a while the judge refused. But later he told himself, ‘I don’t fear God or respect people,

Luk 18:5 YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW KEEPS BOTHERING ME, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me out.'”
Luk 18:6 Then the Lord added, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Luk 18:7 Won’t God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them?
Luk 18:8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly.

Mat 7:7 “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. KEEP KNOCKING, AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED FOR YOU.

1. I, (insert name)will knock the door of supernatural intervention today, and it will open now!
2. I knock on the door of ideas and solutions, Father, open in for me!
3. When the time for the door to be opened comes, I will not be an exception! Oro mi o ni yato!

Luk 18:8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly.

4. Lord, in every area of my life, give me justice quickly! Give me justice now. Oluwa ja fun mi! And give me deliverance!

2. YOU KNOCK WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED AND DESPERATE!

THE JEWS WERE DESPERATE
Est 4:7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened and the exact amount of money that Haman had said he would pay into the king’s treasury in order to destroy the Jewish people.
Est 4:8 Mordecai gave Hathach a copy of the written decree ordering the Jews’ destruction that had been issued in Susa. Mordecai wanted him to show it to Esther, to explain it to her, and then to instruct her to go in to the king to seek his favor and plead with him for her people.
Est 4:9 Hathach went and told Esther what Mordecai had said.

3. YOU KNOCK WHEN YOU NEED TO ENTER! KNOW THE KEY! KNOW THE CODE!

WHEN YOU NEED ACCESS! WHEN YOU NEED AN OPENING – FIND WHERE THE KEY/CODE TO OPENING IS!

Heb 4:16 So let us keep on coming boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

ESTHER KNEW THE RULE! UNDERSTOOD THE RISK – THEN PRAYED!

Est 4:11 “EVERY SERVANT OF THE KING AND EVERY PERSON IN THE KING’S PROVINCES KNOWS that for any man or woman who goes to the king in the inner court without being summoned there is only one law—that he be put to death—unless the king holds out the golden scepter to him. Only then he will live. For these last 30 days I’ve not been summoned to come to the king.”
Est 4:16 “Go and gather all the Jewish people who are in Susa and fast for me. Don’t eat or drink for three days, night or day. Both I and my young women will also fast in the same way, and then I’ll go in to the king, even though it’s against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
Est 4:17 Then Mordecai left and did everything that Esther had ordered him.

THEN SHE KNOCKED AND THERE WAS ACCESS!

Est 5:1 On the third day, Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner courtyard of the palace in front of the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance to the building.
Est 5:2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the courtyard, she won his favor, and the king extended to Esther the gold scepter that he was holding. Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.
Est 5:3 The king asked her, “What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even if it’s half of the kingdom, it will be given to you.”

Est 5:2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the courtyard, she won his favor, and the king extended to Esther the gold scepter that he was holding. Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

5. From today, my appearance and showing up will knock and they will open! Whenever I show up, wherever I show up, they will open.
6. From now, when I show up, I will win favor – uncommon favor! In the name of Jesus.
7. Whenever I knock, let them extend the “gold scepter” and “authority” to me!
8. Even though Esther did not have appointment and could have died, she knocked and lived, As I make efforts to knock and make progress, I will not die! I will not be cut short
9. From today, I (insert name) will receive approvals! I will not be rejected
10. I decree from today; rejection is over in my life! Completely over!

Est 5:3 The king asked her, “What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even if it’s half of the kingdom, it will be given to you.”

11. As the Lord lives, the knock that will open the door of options and choices – I will make the KNOCK it!

” The king asked her, What do you want, Queen Esther?”
12. Lord, when I knock, let them ask me what I want and respond to me!

4. RESPECT THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE DOOR!

YOU KNOCK BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL OPEN IT!- RESPECT THAT PERSON!

Luk 13:25 After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside, knock on the door, and say again and again, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will answer you, ‘I don’t know where you come from.’

THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE DOOR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DOOR ITSELF OR WHAT YOU WILL GET INSIDE!
Heb 11:6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.

SEEK HIM DILIGENTLY, HE IS BIGGER THAN ALL YOUR ENEMIES RAISED TO POWER 1 BILLION!

5. FAITH, HOPE AND PERSISTENCE IS CRITICAL FOR SUCCESS TO A KNOCK! KEEP KNOCKING!

ISV – Mat 7:8 Because everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and THE PERSON WHO KEEPS KNOCKING WILL HAVE THE DOOR OPENED.
