BELIEVE AND RECEIVE !

BELIEVE AND RECEIVE: if I believed that I received this morning when I prayed, I wouldn't dare get up tomorrow morning and pray the same prayer. That would be proof that I hadn't believed. Somebody says, "But it has not manifested yet." The Word doesn't say, "Believe when it is manifested." "When you pray !, Believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. It doesn't say you have them, but you shall have them. They are not manifested yet, but you have received the God's Word. Therefore you have received them in your spirit. How can you receive something that is not manifested yet ? You receive it in your spirit. Because the Word of God is Spirit and Truth ! Your spirit man received it as done. When you are praying, you are operating in spiritual law. And that is when you are praying the Word of God. You are operating in the spirit realm, not in the intellectual or natural realm. You are tapping the spiritual resources of God. You need to realize, in doing this, that you don't have the same physical evidence that you do when you are operating in the natural realm. Things may look worse after you have prayed. In fact, some have told me, "You Know, after we agreed in prayer, it got worse." Don't get excited about that. It was the enemy trying to get you off of the Word of God. Did you believe when you prayed ? Did you believe when we agreed you received it ? The thing that will determine whether you believed it or not is this: when the circumstances look worse, do you still believe what we agreed upon ? Remember, the enemy is trying to keep you off of the Word of God; because it is the power of God unto salvation, unto deliverance, unto healing, unto preservation. (Romans 1:16) and (Hebrews 1:1-3). "In many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a Son, Whom He Appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by an Through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. He is the sole expression of the glory of God [The Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power." The amplified Bible. In other words He is telling us where his power is: the King James says, "upholding all things by the word of his power ! For instance, you are needing a certain amount of money and you pray believe you receive. When you get up the next morning, you find the car won't start and the wash machine breaks down. Are you still believing that your financial needs are met ? Most people won't. They will say, "Oh, dear Lord, just as I figured, it didn't work out."
