Learn How to “Knock” on the Door. The Gospel of Matthew (7:7), Yahushua (Jesus) says, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” This verse invites believers to actively engage with Yahuah (God), trusting that He will respond. “Knocking” in this context is a metaphor for seeking and desiring a deeper relationship with Yahuah (God) or a greater understanding of His will for your life.


To “Knock” and have the door opened, here are some practical ways to approach it:

1. Seek God in Prayer:

The first way to “knock” is through prayer. Prayer is the primary way to communicate with Yahuah (God). When you seek wisdom, guidance, or a closer relationship with Him, prayer opens the door. It doesn’t have to be formal or complicated—just genuine conversation with Yahuah (God), expressing your heart’s desires, questions, and needs.

Consider praying with the intention of drawing closer to Yahuah (God) and asking for wisdom, understanding, and guidance in your life. The act of knocking is essentially about showing your desire for Yahuah (God)’s presence and intervention.

2. Reading and Reflecting on Scripture:

Yahuah (God) speaks to us through His Word. As you read the Bible, you’re opening a door to deeper wisdom and knowledge. The more you engage with Scripture, the more you “knock” on the door of divine revelation. As you seek understanding through reading, reflect on the verses and how they might speak to your life.

Ask Yahuah (God) for insight as you read, and trust that He will open your understanding. Sometimes this process of knocking and seeking involves actively engaging with the Bible to see what truths He wants to reveal to you.

3. Be Persistent in Seeking:

“Knocking” also implies persistence. In Luke 11:9-10, Yahushua (Jesus) expands on this idea, saying, “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” This means that knocking is not always a one-time action. Keep seeking, keep asking, keep knocking. Even if you don’t immediately receive the answers you want, trust that Yahuah (God) will open doors at the right time. Persistence in seeking is a sign of faith and desire for Yahuah (God)’s presence.

4. Living in Alignment with Yahuah (God)’s Will:

Another way to “knock” is by living in alignment with what Yahuah (God) has already revealed through His Word. Sometimes, the door is opened by taking steps of obedience. As you seek to live according to Yahuah (God)’s principles, you’re essentially knocking at the door of His will, trusting that He will guide you. The “door” in this case could be a door of opportunity, understanding, or transformation that comes as you walk faithfully.

5. Being Open to His Response:

Knocking also means being receptive to Yahuah (God)’s answer when He opens the door. Sometimes the door opens in unexpected ways—perhaps through an inner sense of peace, through other people, or through circumstances. It’s important to be open to whatever Yahuah (God)’s answer is, even if it’s different from what you expected. “Knocking” also involves humility, recognizing that Yahuah (God)’s timing and ways might not always align with our own desires.

6. Cultivating a Heart of Expectancy:

When you knock, expect that Yahuah (God) will respond in some way. This doesn’t mean you should expect an immediate solution to every problem, but rather that you trust Yahuah (God) will answer in a way that is for your good. Approach Him with faith, believing that He will open the door in His timing, and that His response will be for your best interest, even if it requires patience or trust in something greater than your understanding.

7. Fellowship with Believers:

Another aspect of “knocking” is the community of believers. Yahuah (God) often uses others to open doors in your life—through encouragement, teaching, or just being there. Joining with others in seeking wisdom through worship, Bible study, or fellowship can be another way of “knocking” together, seeking Yahuah (God)’s guidance as a collective group.


In essence, “knocking” is about seeking Yahuah (God) with a sincere heart, asking for His help, and being open to the ways He responds. It’s a combination of persistent prayer, reflection on Scripture, living in alignment with Yahuah (God)’s will, and remaining receptive to His timing and answers.

If you’re seeking how to begin “knocking” in your own life, a good first step could be setting aside time each day to pray, reflect on Scripture, and ask Yahuah (God) to reveal His wisdom and open doors for you. Trust that as you persist, He will answer according to His perfect will.
