What Keeps You from Receiving from God?
“People don't receive because they choose their own way or the religious idea, “I'm not going to tempt the Lord. I'm not going to ask Him.” When He said, Ask me.”
~Kevin Zadai
But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!
—Romans 5:8 TPT
DISCUSSION:
When I was in Heaven, I realized what kept me from receiving from God was not knowing the Father's love. I didn’t understand His love for me. Once I saw that I was validated, I could receive from Him. He loves me more than I love myself, and He cares about me more than I care about myself. When I came back to the Earth, I realized that there's a battle down here for that truth. No one is going to appreciate you more than God Himself.
You can't expect people to respect you or treat you the way you should be treated because they just don't have the understanding. Most people that are haters are that way because they've been hated. They have been rejected and have experienced this, so they transfer it to others. We at Warrior Notes are destroying the works of the devil because Jesus destroyed the works of the devil.
Isaiah 7:9-12 AMP: And the head (capital) of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son [King Pekah]. If you will not believe [and trust in God and His message], be assured that you will not be established. Then the Lord spoke again to [King] Ahaz, saying, “Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God [one that will convince you that God has spoken and will keep His word]; make your request as deep as Sheol or as high as heaven.” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!”
• A Prophet was speaking to an ungodly King in this verse, and the King could not receive from Him the Word of the Lord.
• It says plain and clear that if the King does not believe and trust the Word of the Lord from the Prophet, he will not be established, nor will he remain. He will disappear.
The Lord spoke again to King Ahaz, saying, “Ask for yourself a sign, a token, or proof of the Lord, your God, one that will convince you that God has spoken and will keep His Word.
• King Ahaz replied and said, “I will not ask nor test the Lord.” How many times have you heard people say that?
How does God validating you differ from people validating you?
• The Lord is saying, “I'll give you a sign; I'm going to confirm my Word. You can ask it from the deepest depths of hell or as high as Heaven, but I will confirm that my Word is true and that I keep my Word.”
• The key phrase is He will keep His word.
• The God of Israel wanted to engage.
• God wanted to prove Himself.
• The spirit of religion keeps people out.
• Relationship and intimacy with God bring people in.
• People think that if they ask God to confirm something, they're on the right track.
• Somehow, they believe that they're tempting God.
• The Lord says, ask me, and I'll give you a sign that I will keep my word to you.
• Signs and wonders will follow the preaching of the word.
God confirms His word with signs following.
Jesus said, if you ask, you're going to receive. If you ask, it will be given to you. If you seek, you will find. If you knock on the door, it will be open to you.”
• King Ahaz had an opportunity to engage with God through a prophet, and God agreed to give him a sign, and he did not allow it; he chose to believe a lie.
• He decided to go his own way. The reason why people don’t receive is they choose their own way or their own religious idea.
• King Ahaz said he didn’t want to tempt the Lord, but God said, “Ask me for a sign.”
• I’ve heard people say, “I’m not going to approach God or talk to Him,” but Moses talked to God as a friend.
• David was a friend of God, and so was Enoch. Jesus talked to God as a friend and a Son.
• It all stems from unbelief.
• You believe lies and then walk in unbelief, and unbelief prevents you from receiving from God.
• Then there’s fear, which causes you to back away from God.
• You think that He’s someone who’s going to judge you, hurt you, or punish you, whereas it is satan who is the one who steals, kills, and destroys.
• Jesus said, “I've come to give you life, and life more abundantly (John 10:10).
• There are four things that keep you from receiving from God; Believing lies, unbelief, fear, and rejection.
A person who is in rejection has the issue of false humility.
False humility looks like when people feel they can’t ask God for something.
• They get by on the bare necessities, thinking that if God wanted them to have something, He would provide.
• They have this mentality that they’re going to suffer for Jesus. False humility is really because a person is in rejection.
• I know this for a fact because of what I saw in Heaven; God’s not withholding anything from us.
• If the devil's children have all these things we need and want, why couldn't God give His children good gifts?
ISREAL HAD THE BENEFITS AND THE PROMISE
• Israel left Egypt with the gold and silver.
• There was not one feeble among them. That means no one was sick.
• Their clothes and shoes did not wear out in the desert.
• They were provided Manna, which is supernatural food from Heaven. • Every day they had water coming from a rock.
• God kept His promise and loaded them down with benefits on the way out.
• It was like this for 40 years, but they were still in rejection.
• They had Moses go up the mountain because they were afraid.

• God gave them everything. He delivered them, and He kept His word for 400 years.
• They were in rejection. They did not know their God. If they knew Him, they would have gone up the mountain.
• They said He was unapproachable to them because they saw fire and heard thunder.
• He was approachable, but they were blinded by fear and rejection.
GOD SENDS JESUS
• God sends Jesus to die in our place.
• He took our place even while we were still lost and ungodly and provided forgiveness.
• Jesus Christ is the proof of God's passionate love for us.
• He did this before we were born.
• Jesus pays the price and takes our place, and all we have to do is enter in.
• We can start receiving the benefits of being a son/daughter now.
• Just ask Him, and He will give them to you.
Jesus Christ is the proof of God the Father's passionate love for you. He came and did this before you were even born, so how can you live in unbelief? How can you believe the lies? How can you live in fear or rejection if your Father God sent Jesus Christ before you were even born to take your place? Every morning you wake up is another opportunity to walk out of unbelief and lies, to walk out of fear and rejection, and walk into God's acceptance. In Heaven, when I was there, I was right by the Father on the throne and right there
with Jesus. There were Angels and Saints everywhere. There were all these living creatures that I can't even describe to you. They weren't animals, but they were beings I'd never seen before. I was fully accepted when I was there, but I had always been accepted, and I always existed. I was always known up there. I was in Christ and already in God. I came out from Him and became a living soul, and God gave me the opportunity to accept the way of Salvation. We are all from God. There are people in hell right now that shouldn’t even be there. I saw that I was always loved and fully accepted. I saw that everybody’s book up there portrays this very fact. There are people in hell whose books are in Heaven, and they were never supposed to go to hell. They were never rejected. Instead, they rejected it because they didn’t receive it. God’s love pushes back all fear. It pushes back rejection. It pushes back unbelief. It pushes back lies. It drives out each of these things so that you can experience that you are fully accepted.
