How to receive from the Father-Step 7(Final Step)


Make that prayer a statement of faith.
You can believe you have received that prayer immediately you've prayed it. Move to a statement of faith rather than a prayer said in unbelief. You prayed it, so believe it, rather than doubt it. After you have prayed, begin to declare that you have received your petition. Claim it, check and expect the answer. Smith Wigglesworth once said "If you pray seven times for any one thing, you prayed six times in unbelief" I think the purport of this is to say, after you have prayed, say: Father I thank you for answering my prayers.

Your demeanour, and your outlook should not remain as it was prior to your prayers and petitions. For example, Hannah was said to change her countenance after she had prayed for a child. 1Samuel 1:18 'and she said, Let your maidservant find favour in your sight. So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.' It goes to show that once you have prayed and fasted for a petition, the Holy Spirit should agree with your spirit and lift a burden in you that will assure you the prayers have been answered. If so, you ought to stop fasting. Do not say, oh, I have called for myself 21 days of fasting, I must finish it. No, the Lord might answer that prayer on the second day. Stop the fasting and start rejoicing.

Best to remind God of His word and His promises. Is 43:26 says Put me n remembrance; He knows what you want, and He will answer you. Say to Him you are still expectant, and be assured that the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut short.

I think it is possible to undo your prayers, when you should be offering thanks, you are banging on the door that has already been opened. Kenneth Hagin referred to this. If you are praying for someone to be healed, believe that they have received their healing and watch out for their remarkable recovery. This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know we have the petitions that we have asked of Him" 1 John 5:14-15.
So be confident when you pray.
