Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN OF ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot
obtain: ye fight and war, yet YE HAVE NOT , BECAUSE YE ASK NOT .
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because YE ASK AMISS, that ye may consume [it]
upon your lusts.

We can GO to God and ask of him ANYTHING. God is not ASHAMED of any of our
questions.
GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
HE will answer any question you ask. This is called LISTENING PRAYER.

God wants HIS people to be PERFECT (WHOLE OR COMPLETE)

Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be PERFECT (WHOLE), be thus
minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall REVEAL even
this unto you.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
RENEWING of your mind, that ye may PROVE what [is] that good, and
acceptable, and PERFECT, will of God.

GOD WANTS US TO ASK. SO WE CAN KNOW HIS PERFECT WILL and if we listen
HE WILL ANSWER!!!!!

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in
the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

If we listen God will/does speak to us. This may sound crazy to some but the
God that speaks (old testament name) still speaks.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of
HEARING THE WORD OF THE LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the
east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not
find [it].
That day is here. This verse doesn't say GOD WILL NOT SPEAK or IS NOT
SPEAKING. But that there are/is a shortage of hearers. Many Christians don't
know how to discern the voice of God. Nor take the time to hear him. All
Christians know God.

Hebrews 8:8...Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because
they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, saith the Lord; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR
MIND,(REVELATION[Joe]) and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them
a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the
greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that
which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

 But not all have learned to listen to him.
I'm not talking about one way prayer I'm talking about a conversation with
God himself. Not what we think he's saying. But talking to God as Adam did
in the garden. We can ask him anything honestly with out shame. He will not
judge us but will show/tell us the answer clearly.  He will do this for
anyone. God doesn't  Just talk to the Preachers But to anyone in the BODY
100% of the Body can hear and converse with the ALMIGHTY GOD who is not a
respecter of persons. If he conversed with Adam, He will with you. If he
conversed with Enoch, He will with you. If he conversed with Abram / later
Abraham he will converse with you. We could go on and on how he conversed
with people through out time. But this is the bottom line.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if ANY man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and
he with me.
Man kind (including many Christians) wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the
LORD, and all they have to do is open the door(ask) and he will come in and
sup(converse)with him and he with me. In another place he said The Spirit
seeketh such to worship him.
If  God is seeking and we are seeking how do we miss the word of the Lord?
Because we don't ask expecting to receive of the Lord (LISTING)

We can GO to God and ask of him ANYTHING. God is not ASHAMED of any of our
questions.
GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
HE will answer any question you ask. This is called LISTENING PRAYER.

God wants HIS people to be PERFECT (WHOLE OR COMPLETE)

Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.

Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which
no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].

GOD SAYS APPROACH ME, ASK OF ME, I WILL ANSWER AND REVEAL UNTO YOU IF YOU WILL LISTEN
