First and foremost Jesus... once somebody dedicates something as a God cast... he would be very selfish to close it unless God wants him to keep it that way. Afterall, it isn't his to close... He would be commiting humanity's core sin again, selfishness...
Ask, Seek, Knock
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
[Matthew 7:7-10]
Approxiametly nine months ago, that same idiot wrote an entry that implied something like there are no basic principles to God, not exactly with that title. Let me put it this way, it has something to do with the FIRST meaning of the initials p.J. ;)...
But it was revealed by the ALL KNOWING God to him this fine day that he was so very wrong... That a root can be found to almost everything. Including "God". Allow me to throw some out the "basic principles":
1) Ask -> Listen
2) Seek -> Learn
3) Knock -> Love/Live
In essence, or as a starting point:
When we ASK anything, including trying to find out what God will DO in the matter, we need to LISTEN.
Why do we SEEK after something if not to LEARN about and more importantly FROM it....
God is always KNOCKing... we KNOW and LIVE this in God's version of LOVE, in the only pure form.

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things that I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
