Dare to Ask

What do you desire, but don't dare ask for? Today, be of good courage. Dare to ask! 
 
I think many of us live life too small. We settle for less than we could have due to fear, past disappointment, or concern about what other people think.
 
Throw that out of the window. Expand your thinking. Dare to ask God for more. Our role model, Jesus, asked God for stuff all the time. That's how he was able to operate in such power. He healed diseases, multiplied provision, walked on water, cast out evil, raised the dead. All because he dared to ask in prayer.
 
Other examples from the bible of others who dared to ask include:
 
  • Moses: Asked God to show him his glory
  • Jacob: Asked for God's presence, protection, provision, and to return to his father's house in peace
  • Jabez: Asked for God's blessing, to enlarge his territory, God's hand to be with him and to keep him from evil
  • Hannah: A son
  • Samson: Extra physical strength
  • King Solomon: Wisdom
  • King Hezekiah: For his life to be extended
In fact, Jesus' most outrageous promise was about asking: "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." 
 
Abide in God's presence through Jesus, meditate on his promises, ask according to his promises, and you will operate in God's power!
 
I dare you to do this. In fact, I've got a reminder for you. I've updated my Stop, Drop, and Pray magnet to put the logo front and center. It is so large (4.25 x 5.5 inches) that you can see it across the room. Put one on your refrigerator, on your work file cabinet or on a locker. Even put one on the back of your car, provided the part is metal (I discovered my bumper is fiberglass and it didn't stick to it, but it did stick next to my license plate on my trunk lid). 
 
And if you order one right now, you will get free shipping.

But you know what? I'm going to go a step further. I believe in the vision of Stop, Drop, and Pray so strongly that if you can't afford the magnet (it's just $4.99), do this:
 
1. Respond to this email or use the contact form on my webpage.
2. Say, "Kim I want a Stop, Drop, and Pray Magnet but I can't afford it right now. I am daring to ask, so please send me one." Include your name and address.
3. I will send it to you absolutely free.
 
So now, you don't have any excuse. Again, if you can't afford one, dare to ask me and I will send you one free.
 
But if you can afford one, then I dare you to order one today and use it as a reminder to ask more of God - more love, more boldness, more strength, more wisdom.

Dare to prepare to receive by sowing God's word in your heart. God will send the rain but rain does no good if there is no seed in the ground. 
 
So plant plenty of good seed in your heart and sow into the lives of others. You will bring forth an abundant harvest in due season that you will not have enough room to receive. All because you dared to ask!
 
Be blessed in health, wealth, and wisdom,

P.S.  If you know others who can benefit from the magnet, why not get extras for friends and family? I'm sure they will be blessed by your gift and generosity. If you want to use the magnets for a church, organization or group fundraiser, ask me about volume discounts as well.
 
Thank you for forwarding this message to others for whom it would be a blessing.
