Ask in Faith, which was Once for All delivered to the Saints

‘If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ASK IN FAITH, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For (that doubting) let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.' (James 1:5-8)

'Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith WHICH WAS ONCE FOR ALL DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS.' (Jude v.3)

The testimony of Jesus Christ, from birth through death and resurrection, is the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. Wisdom from God shows us how to proceed to and through 'the testimony that God has given of His Son' (1 John 5:10).

'In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. Justice is TURNED BACK, and righteousness stands AFAR OFF; for truth has FALLEN in the street, and equity CANNOT enter.' (Isaiah 59:13,14) Asking is faith shall deliver us from duplicity to simplicity.

'He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.' (John 14:21)

Cretans and Their Prophets

‘For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but IN WORKS THEY DENY Him, being abominable (detestable), disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.' (Titus 1:10-16)

I hear many speakers disqualifying their listeners, and themselves, regarding works in the 'common faith' which Paul discusses with Titus. They regularly say "I'm not telling you that a person is saved by works!", or "salvation is though faith, and that a gift of God, not by works that we should boast!". Then, they go on to bring to light all the things that those folks won't DO; like pray, share their faith, gather together etc. When you inform a person that they are not saved by works, you had better qualify it: not by the works of the law of Moses, not by our own self-willed design, but by the message of the cross of Jesus Christ and believing in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead! Through faith in Christ, believing in the word/works of faith, no longer liars, evil, or lazy; nor prophets to those, allowing them to remain defiled and unbelieving.

Ask, Seek, Knock; Receive; Believe

‘And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; and he will answer from within and say, 'Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'? I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his PERSISTENCE he will rise and give him as many as he needs.'

'So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?'(Luke 11:5-13)

'It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.' (Acts 1:7,8)

'But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way,' (Romans 10:6)

'But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one BELIEVES unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.' (Romans 10:8-10)

If you ask, seek, and knock for God to give you the Holy Spirit, you will not receive a stone, serpent, or scorpion; but power to be witnesses in understanding the righteousness of faith, and believe.
