Ask - Seek - Knock - Even In Real Estate

This morning I was talking with the Lord while enjoying a stroll, you know, walking and talking like old friends do. So I was saying to Him how I really enjoy my job helping others meet their real estate needs and how Debbie and I really like being busy and are grateful for all the work He sends our way. I let Him know how I really want and need two of my listings to sell quickly. Not only for me but more importantly for my sellers who have both moved on and really need to get their homes sold.
Today I received offers on both homes yes you’re reading that right... both homes have good offers coming in this afternoon. I give all the glory to Him and remember that we are told to, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
Now I ask Him for the knowledge and skills to bring these Albuquerque home buyers and sellers together and work in making these transactions continue on a smooth path. Do I ask, seek, knock even in real estate? You bet I do and hope you do too.

Great example of giving it to God!
Hi John,
I said Amen to that! I'm really glad that you raised the name of God with all your listings and by praising his name on this post. This really one of God's miracle that PRAYERS is really a powerful tool. And me too, I always ask God for knowledge so that I can do my job well. Wisdom everyday, so that I can live my life well. And most of all I ask God more offers so that I can quickly sell all my listings. All of this are true, you need to ask God the things that you need by PRAYERS and he will surely answer it, not right away at all times. But instead in God's time! Thank you for sharing this wonderful post. We really appreciate it. Take care!
Keep on Raising God's name,
Amen John. I ask, seek and knock regularly. I sure I need to do it more frequently.
I hit the subscribe button today!
Good evening John, thanks for the wonderful post. I need to remember to keep on asking, seeking and knocking.
Hi John - great story and outcome - clearly someone important is listening to you!!! All the best, Dave
You are a wise man to to follow the ultimate coach there is in life and real estate. He does have the answers.
This morning I was talking to the Lord..............perfect way to start every morning. This post was the perfect way to start my day Q Man. Great post and amazing results...........and all you did was ask, seek and knock.
Hi John. Great blog with excellent results. Good luck.
I am so glad we connected my brotha!!!! That is how you do, if you are humble and wise that is. Thanks for the reminder I gotta do the same thing and maybe just maybe this is why I couldnt sleep, (which is extremely rare) and decided to jump in the rain for a few.
Great grat post and you are a shining example of that "ask and it shall be given" problem is many dont ask.
Now I am off to go ask!
Peace and blessings
Have a great day and an outstanding weekend.
Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the special moments that you will want to share.
John, ask, seek and knock will stick with me! Thanks! Enjoy your day!
Thank you for the reminder John. Very good post that made me smile. :)
AMEN. As it is said, you don't get what you don't ask for! Lovely post.
John, so good to see you doing so well in your business & you certainly are blessed in life all around.
John(QMan)- I love this because it's a reminder that we have only to ask. We get so caught up in being the force behind our careers and our lives that we do forget that there is an even higher force, whatever your beliefs, that is always there to help us.
Good morning John. I did the same thing last night after an awful day (or Irmas that is as she speaks spanish and has had to deal with this buyer nightmare!). I prayed a great deal last night and what was great about the night was I just decided to let go - Two of our listings we launched this month BOTH recieved contracts (one multiples) and the sellers are so excited! (one of the listings is the one that I had under contract in two days and had to back out for health reasons - I told the sellers it just wasn't to be and something better would come along (they are the ones getting 3 offers today!). SO prayer works and always has for me. Oh and of course I rest John (i only did 5 min video lol)
John Prayer is an integral part of my life - I seek God's direction, not personal aggrandizement
I love this story John, we can turn over all things to that power greater than yourselves.
I have never seen the "ASK" acronym before. Cool!
Good morning John,
What an inspiring post..as Kathy mentioned in her comments we often forget that there is a higher force, whatever your beliefs, that is always there to help us:. You are a very wise man to follow the ultimate coach in life..thank you Mr. Q you are an inspiration!
Good Mornig John, Thank you for the inspirational message to start this busy day. I shall follow your advice and ASK. Have a great Friday.
I ask for that help often. Oh Please let me get this buyer settled; Oh please let me help this seller; Oh please let me make this putt. And sometimes he hears me.
I love this because it is far to easy to try to go it alone. We need to remember that God is there if we only will ask him in!
WOW John.....you wrote what my heart feels every day when I talk to Him.....have a great weekend my friend.
Amen John, It comes down to what we all believe in and wish to help others.
Glad it worked for you, John. It's all in what you believe.
My personal belief is God wants us to be successful and provides all we need to accomplish our goals, we just need to be pure with our intentions. Great post.
Good morning John,
God is good! Thanks for sharing this uplifting message. Have a nice weekend!
Amazing how that happens! Thanks for sharing this important reminder, John.
John: I love the fact that you acknowledge the Lord as the source of your business. ;-)
John when I focus on money things go bad. When I focus on serving people, being faithful to God, and being the best Husband/Father I can with what I have things go well. Great post.
Love this blog John and suggested it. What a great partner to take along to our offers. Yes, we ask his guidance in business a lot, sometimes it doesn't come out the way we wanted or expected but we know it is the right way! Always!
You guys are awesome! So many would not comment on a post such as this but you have stood your ground and let your voices be heard. Good for you!
Late last night Debbie and I rode our bicycles enjoying the beautiful night sky and saying thank you to Him for blessing us with two great offers. BTW both offers were accepted and we’re on track to close. Thank you and thanks to Him......
Praise the Lord! What a great testimony, John much success to you in closing them.
Asking, Seeking and Knocking, such great words to share with us.
This really works! I can vouch! :)
Love and light... and open doors,
Laura
Have a very special weekend and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the special moments that you will want to share.
Hi John ~ I loved reading your story about asking for help! I've found that many doors have been opened due to conversations I've had with God. He always listens and wants the best for us! Great post!
Very nice and I appreciate you sharing a personal conversation and moment with us. I like the A.S.K. Take care.
Wow John....He is always on Time isn't He?! I love when I am constantly reminded of that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Wonderful post, John! I want and need the Lord's presence in all of my real estate transactions!
John, I have done the very same thing many times and it works. And since I know the Lord hears why don't I do it every time? That is the big question. Great personal sharing.
Hi, great post...I saw it on Kathy's list and had to stop by....have a great Sunday!
Congratulations on both of your offers. I've also pinned your graphic... love it!
John, your post is inspirational. Congratulations on your two offers. I'll be thinking good thoughts about both offers. There is no better Realtor in Albuquerque than John McCormack!
John, This is Amazing!!! Yes God Answers Prayers. God Bless you and continue to keep up the good work.
