Praying the Answer!

Praying THE ANSWER: "Father, Your Word says whatsoever things I desire, when I pray, believe that I have received them, and I shall have them. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, pray that you get a job-- a better one. Praying that we will have all of our needs met, according to your riches in glory by the Word of God. Thank you, Father. I believe I received when I prayed, and I thank you for it. I rejoice over it. And praise you for it, Father, that we will get this house paid off and be able to give 10,000 to missions." You get up from that prayer having faith in the promises of God to meet your need, and you did what (Luke 6: 38) says concerning finance to do. Not because you asked for faith, but because you quoted the promise of God in your prayer. And faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith in God comes by hearing the Word of God. You can also turn that around. Faith in the devil comes by hearing the words of the devil, or the world. We need to control the words that come out of our mouth, as well as what goes into our ears. In other words, Jesus said it this way take heed "If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend. And He said to them, be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [two the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you-- and more [besides] will be given to you who hear." (Mark 4:23- 24). The amplified Bible. God created man with the ability to operate on His level of faith. Jesus said, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). All things are possible with God. So, believe and speak it. Release your faith in it and develop yourself in the God kind of faith. HIS WORD IS MAGNIFIED: There is power in the name of Jesus, but God has magnified His Word above His Name. That's why God's Word is important in our everyday lives. We must set a watch on our mouths. Determined to speak Only Things Which Agree with God's Word. That doesn't mean you go around just quoting the Bible all the time. You don't have to quote God's Word all the time but, speak things which are in agreement with His Word. Jesus said that He spoke only that which He heard His Father say. (John 8:26). If you will do the same, you will see things change in your situation. Began to confess in faith, "I have the wisdom of God. I have the direction of God. I hear the voice of the good Shepherd." Then you will hear the voice of the good Shepherd, and you will have the wisdom of God in your situation. It will come to you if you continue to do it, because God's Word works to bring the manifestation of what God promised. Remember, the seed is in the promise itself. You cannot take what you hear from the devil and the world and expect God to move on your situation why you are talking like the world and the devil. It doesn't work that way, while you are singing, speaking, quoting the devil and his bunch you have what you been saying. Don't you see that? If you don't like what you have present in your life you have to change what you are saying! DON'T TELL GOD WHAT THE DEVIL SAID: when the Lord Said He would appreciate it if I didn't tell Him what the devil said, I was praying about my finances. He also told me that if I didn't change my confession, it wouldn't get any better. I said, "Lord, what am I going to do? It was true that I had all these financial problems." He said, "go to the Word of God, he didn't say go to the church or to the pastor and see what they said about it. confess what I say about your finances." Then one day during my confession time, I stopped and said, "Lord, I'm confessing all these things, and it just seems like I am lying." He said, "Son, how can you lie saying what I said?" How could anyone lie when they are quoting what God said about their situation? Any time when I was praying. I said, "Lord, I don't hear your voice. I know you said we will hear the voice of the good Shepherd, but I don't hear Your voice." I was talking to Him and telling Him that I didn't hear His voice. Sometimes we get caught up in wanting to hear an audible voice. But He said to me. "Go to the Word of God where I said My Sheep Hear My Voice. Confess that you do hear the voice of the good Shepherd, and that you know His voice, and the voice of a stranger you will not follow. Confess that the Spirit of truth that abides in you teaches you all things and guide you into all truth. Confess that you have perfect knowledge of every situation. Do this over and over and make it a daily confession." He said, "if you will do that, over a period of time you will call that into manifestation until you will hear my voice accurately." It didn't happen overnight. It was a process of renewing my mind. Now ask yourself, what are you renewing your mind with? If it isn't the Word of God, then you are listening to the world or the devil!
