Dare to Ask Big
The scriptures read in James 4:2
“Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it.”
Most of us believe that God wants to provide for our daily needs or your daily bread, but His dream for your life is much bigger than your own, He’s providing a bakery.
He has uncommon blessings, unusual increases, and unprecedented favors for you, but you can't just ask Him for the ordinary. You must ask for dreams that look impossible, for increases that seems out of reach, for favor to overcome obstacles that look too big. If you only pray small prayers, you're going to see small results.
How many of your big dreams are unaccomplished because your prayers have been going unanswered because you never asked big? You never had the boldness to say, "God, take me where I can't go on my own. Open this door that looks impossible. Heal me of this sickness. Turn my child around." If you're not asking for something that's over your head and beyond your reach, that you don't have the resources for, that the experts say there's no way, you're not believing for the far-and-beyond favor that God wants to show you.
Go ahead. Dare to ask Him. Is there anything too hard for God? The only way to know is to put Him to the test. Can you increase your expectations, multiply your desires, extend your borders, gather more empty barrels to be filled. The only way to prove God is to prove Him.
He is able to do abundantly, above and beyond what we could ask or think according to the power (asking power, believing power) that works in us. If you have the faith to ask and believe, you have the capacity to receive.
Let’s Pray!
Father, thank You that You created me to live an abundant life, not a small mediocrity life. Thank You that You are a God of increase, and You always have something bigger in my future. Help me to dare to ask big and to believe in the far-and-beyond favor You have for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen
