https://www.toplobsta.comWhat does ask, seek, knock mean? In Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) Jesus says ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 33: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta show why continual fellowship with God is how you discern people and live.
After Pt 32 on dogs, swine, and walking away, verse 7 is the door hinge: you do not judge by your own intellect. You ask, seek, and knock. Matt reads Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV), then walks how that posture shapes friendships, work, and going after God first, through Colossians 2, Proverbs 8, Jeremiah 29, Psalm 10, Psalm 40, Solomon's ask in 1 Kings 3, Genesis 2-3, Judges, Paul's conscience in Acts, and Isaiah 53. Next the series still has Matthew 7:9-12 ahead.
