Why God's Answer is Always Yes... If You Ask This Central Question

The bible although complex, is not too terribly complicated.  At least not when it comes to precepts.  It's relatively black and white. In a nutshell, most of its standards could be summed up this way, 'do this, get that'... 'Love and you'll be loved'... 'forgive to be forgiven', to name a couple.  Naturally attached would be the opposites to these examples; don't love and forgive others... and you won't be either.  Sure, this is a simple, basic attitude, that for me makes scripture more approachable. 

But I also think it carries deep applicational potential as well.

Why? Because having the childlike faith spoken of in scripture often means accepting the "x" without knowing the "y+z" that it takes to get it.  Since the set standards are virtually concrete, that means we really don't need to ask how or why... we simply need to know the what which is easy to determine with yes or no questions as we discussed in my first post on knowing God's voice.

So then, what question should you be asking?  How can you always get "yes" answers?

Let's be honest that's really what we ALL want.  None of us go to him for him to say NO!  Well this too can be simplified with a central approach.

People came to Christ with many requests.  Some to bash him and his teachings, some to figure him out.  Yet others came... to figure themselves out.  To see where they stood, how his teachings should affect them. 

These are the ones who got it!

Although it came in a variety of formats, they asked this central question:  Can I be... where you are?

Again, the delivery was different, the questions may have appeared to be unrelated, but if you look closely you'll see that ultimately, the people He said yes to, approached with childlike faith, believing that being closer to him, knowing him more... was what they really needed.  Which, as Matthew 6 states, by focusing upward... we'll be fulfilled in all ways.

AND HE ALWAYS SAID YES!

 I realize that although this is a simple concept, maintaining focus and discipline are different creatures.  (we'll talk about these two later) 

If you've developed you're ability to hear from Godask him this one central question: Can I be where you are?  And I'm confident he'll not only say yes, he'll also tell you how? 

Do you get told no a lot?  If so, maybe you're asking the wrong question.
