KEYS TO ANSWERED PARYED !: One of the keys to answered prayer is to believe you received when you pray. "What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them (Mark 11:24). The faith principle of (Mark 11:23) states that you can have what you say. It is a faith principal which you can employ everyday by speaking right words. Another key to answered prayer is to speak in agreement with your prayers daily. This is called holding fast to the confession of your faith. Control the words that come out of your mouth. For example, one day I was having a problem with a tractor. It had given me trouble a couple of times and I wanted to say, "that thing comes apart every time I take it to the field." I knew better than to say it, but it just rose up within me and it wanted to come out so bad. I told my wife I would just love to make a bad confession here, but I didn't dare do. I have trained myself to believe that what I say will come to pass. My mind is renewed to God's Word. Jesus went on to say in verse 24 that it will also work in prayer. You can use the same principle in prayer. He shall have whatsoever he saith. He didn't have it then, but he shall have it. Many believers counseled their prayer with unwise words. Believe and Receive: (Mark 11:23) is a faith principal. It is not a prayer Scripture. Verse 24 says, Therefore (or because of this faith principal) I say unto you, what things soever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them." Whatsoever things--- whatsoever things you desire. He didn't say, "if it is God's will for you to have it." He said whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them. Now you have to take in account of what Jesus said in (John 15:7). "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciple." Now when are you going to believe that you receive them ? You are not going to believe it when you see it, if you go by the word of God. You must believe it when you pray. He said, "when you pray, believe." What is the evidence that I received when I prayed ? Faith which is the Word is the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1).
