In this message, Pastor Emlen Bailey shares on  Jesus’ invitation to ask, seek, and knock—a divine call to persistent, expectant prayer and wholehearted pursuit of God.

➡️ ASK – God invites us to boldly request what we need. Sometimes, unanswered prayers are actually His mercy protecting us from what we think we want.
➡️ SEEK – Like the bleeding woman or Naaman, miracles often follow the ones willing to investigate, press in, and surrender their pride. What are you willing to give up to see breakthrough?
➡️ KNOCK – Real faith keeps knocking. With shameless audacity, with wrestling perseverance like Jacob, we knock until doors open.

This is more than a formula—it’s an invitation into deeper relationship with a good Father who longs to give good gifts to His children.

🙏 Jesus is knocking too. Will you open the door?
