I cannot get past the phrase “ask anything”, it keeps arising, bubbling up in my spirit. It is an invitation to ask for things I never thought to ask for. Contemplating this question is challenging, because I feel so small in my asking, when the Lord is so big in His ability to answer.
How do we as finite people step into the abundance of God who says, ask anything, nothing is beyond my ability or capacity to respond. This idea of ask anything is revealing my finite thinking in light of His infinite presence. Prayers seem so puny in light of the invitation to ask anything.
I stepped outside this morning looked up into the bright blue skies and the massive sky whispered, ask anything. I came outside after being at a friends last night, looked up into the dark sky with bright stars all around and I hear the voice again, saying, ask anything.
What do I ask for? Why am I afraid to ask for anything? What is holding me back, keeping me locked in when He is inviting me to step out, into the great unknown, into the beyond all we can ask think or imagine realm.
Then this morning reading Psalm 42:7 it says, “Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.” Go deeper is the invitation, ask anything, plummet the depths, soar the heights, the invitation is on the table.
We are made of deeper things than we allow ourselves to explore. We serve a God who is bigger than we can control or comprehend. We don’t need to physically die to dive into the deep, but we do need to die to our limitations, human strength, personal knowledge, small thinking.
I remember having an encounter one time where I was walking on the floor of the ocean. It was level ground with water all around. The beauty of creation under water is indescribable, the encounter was powerful. The Lord said, this is my love surrounding you. Depths reveal His heart for us. Love like we cannot describe is what unlocks the limitations, so we can ask anything. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
