In the book of Isaiah, the same principle is taught. We must, “know to refuse the evil, and choose the good” (Isaiah 7:15). Choices make up a large portion of our lives. The natural man inside each and every one of us is constantly fighting to come forward and choose the darkness. Every time we have to decide whether or not to pray, to eat our brother’s cookie, or stop that movie, we choose between light and dark. Ask and Ye Shall Receive tumblr.com Hogwarts has been a place of solitude for many hundreds of years. Wizards from all walks of life are admitted to the school and allowed to learn under some of the greatest teachers available. When trouble arises, and Lucius Malfoy tries to have Dumbledore removed from the school, the headmaster says to Harry, “You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it” (Chamber of Secrets). The only stipulation Dumbledore gives is that someone must ask for help. There are no other requirements nor restrictions. The Lord has given the same promise time and time again. He has said, “Ask and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Doctrine and Covenants 4:7). He does not require that we do anything above and beyond. We must act in faith and ask for an answer and he will give us the aid that we require.
