Go into the world, saying unto all, Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven has come near unto you. And the mysteries of the kingdom you shall keep within yourselves, for it is not meet to give that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls unto swine, lest they trample them under their feet; for the world cannot receive that which you yourselves are not able to bear. Wherefore, you shall not give your pearls unto them, lest they return and rend you.
Say unto them, Ask of God. Ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.(Matthew 7:6-8)
Again, some things that God reveals to those who are worthy are to be kept in a faithful breast and shared only with care and by the constraint of the spirit. And again some things simply cannot be shared with others and must be obtained from God directly or not at all.
By the power of the Holy Ghost you may know the truth of all things. The truth of all things. There is nothing off limits. There's nothing about which you are going to be upbraided and told: “Don't ask. Don't inquire. I won't tell.” Now, you may ask for something that you are unprepared to hear the answer for because there is some preparation yet left. But if you ask, you set in motion permission for the heaven to fix what's wrong with you.
This verse shows that it's mandatory that you must ask. The blessings you seek, as a consequence of the laws of God, requires that you do so. In doing so the answer is set in motion but if you're not ready for the answer then you will go through a period of renovation and repair.
How long this process lasts depends on just how much of the toxic nonsense of this world that you've drunk in and how much you continue to drink in that opposes God's ability to speak to you. So as soon as you lay down that nonsense and in faith become believing, s soon will God be able to plug the leaks, repair the hinge and fix the broken window.
