SEVEN STEPS TO ANSWERED RAYER (PART 1). "And 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 hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." (1 John 5:14-15). The King James version: our text indicates, that if we know He hears us we have the petitions we desired of Him. Ginosko -- which is most often translated as "KNOW" our "Known" is a word that means so much more than that. This word implies a certain type of knowing that is perhaps best explained in several English words. In English the best way to translate it word probably be to personally, intimately, and experientially know something. As you can see it doesn't really just meaning to know about something but to have known it through personal experience.. In light of this Ginosko could have times where it should not be translated to know at all but rather to experience but most of the time it indicates the knowledge that comes from experiencing something in an intimate or personal way. STEP 4: Believe That You Receive. (Mark 11:23-24). "For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall Say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he Saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he Saith. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." The Amplified version of this above verse says, ". . . What ever you ask for in prayer, believe -- trust and be confident -- that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]." To understand this better, you need to realize that there are two kinds of trust: sense-knowledge trust and revelation trust. Some people think trust pertains to things they can see with their physical eyes. But we cannot see the things of the Spirit. They are not flesh; they are not material. Everything we need is provided for us in the spiritual realm. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath or have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3). Our needs have been provided for in Christ Jesus. We may not always be able to see them, but they are there. When "sense-knowledge trust" contradicts "revelation truth," or the Word of God, I started walking by revelation truth. I walk by what God says. That which is in the spiritual realm is made real in the natural realm through faith. Faith grasps it and creates the reality of it in our life. Therefore, when you pray, believe that you receive that which you are asking for and you shall have it. This is beyond our natural thinking. This natural mind cannot grasp it, but we are to walk by faith and not by sight. (Romans 7:5-8). "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither, indeed, can be. So, then, they that are in the flesh cannot please God." The King James Bible !
