4 Step Prayer that Gets Results

To get your prayers answered you must first receive
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior according to
Romans 10:9. Once saved, you can now enter the
arena of prayer where God delights in answering
your petitions.

Before we start, make sure you have no unforgiveness
in your heart toward anyone and turn from any sin
that would be displeasing to God. Sin will prevent your
prayers from being answered. Galatians 5:19-21 gives a
list of some of the sins that will prevent you from getting
your prayers answered and will keep you from
inheriting the Kingdom of God.

Let me share with you four steps that will get your
prayers answered, guaranteed!

1. Ask
- "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father
in my name (Jesus), he will give it you." - John 16:23b

If you don't ask, how can you receive from God? Ask and
make sure what you are asking is in line with God's Word.
God does not answer prayers that do not line up with
His Word. His Word is His will for you.

2. Receive
- "What things soever you desire, when
ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them." - Mark 11:24

Very, very important. When you ask God for something
you must believe that you have received your prayer
answered that instant, not sometime in the future.
Believe He heard your prayer and answered your prayer
at that moment because you asked in faith, you asked
in the name of Jesus and you asked in line with His will.
Remember, His Word is His Will.

So, the moment you ask Him for something, you must
believe you own it, you have the title deed to what you
asked for. Otherwise you are not in faith. And according to
Hebrews 11:6 it is impossible to please God without
faith. Use your God given imagination and see yourself
with what you asked God for. See yourself with it now.

3. Wait
"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the
Lord." - Psalm 27:14

The waiting time is that period of time between
the time you first asked God in prayer for something
and the time it is actually manifested, you
can now see it or feel it. It's in your hands.

So, what do you do during this waiting time when
Satan may try to make you doubt that God heard
and answered your prayer? Very important. During
this waiting time you thank, praise and worship God
because He answered your petition. That's faith,
acting like you have it before you can actually see it
with your physical eyes.

4. Manifestation
You asked, you believed you received when you prayed,
you waited and now the pay off. God manifests your
prayer. Your prayer has been heard, answered
and delivered. It is now physically in your hands.
You've got it! Hallelujah! Now make sure you thank
God for manifesting the answer to your prayer.

God loves us to release our faith in His glorious
promises. If you will follow these steps, you will
see an answer to all your prayers, no matter
how big or small. We serve a big God. Dare to
believe and act on God's Word and you will reap
the benefits of answered prayer.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).

Framing Your World with the Word of God
by Dr. Leroy Thompson Sr.. "In this empowering book on the influence of the spoken Word, Dr. Leroy Thompson Sr. shares that the A B C's of Scripture are to "think, believe, and say", and that we must do them in that order to receive potent results. Giving Scripture memory a new meaning, Framing Your World With the Word of God will encourage readers to speak the Word of God in faith as they believe it in their hearts. The result? Readers will witness the power of God's promises through His Word to change their circumstances and shape their world!"

Dodie Osteen Healed of Terminal Liver Cancer by Faith in God's Word

Dodie Osteen, Joel Osteen's mother, was diagnosed with terminal
liver cancer. What do you do when the doctors say it's terminal,
no hope? Dodie had a choice. She could give up or go to a
higher authority. She went to the higher authority, Jesus Christ. He
said in His word that, "He sent forth his word and healed them;
he rescues them from the grave" (Psalm 107:20).

Dodie Osteen decided to stand on God's word and
three times a day spoke and declared healing scriptures until
her healing was manifested. I might add, during this time while she
felt so sick she did not stay in bed but moved about her house
as if she was healed. James 2:17 says, "Even so faith, if it
hath not works, is dead, being alone." She was acting on her
faith even though her body was telling her she was sick.
Cancer is no match for God's word when it is believed and
acted upon. Dodie Osteen is a living testimony of the mighty
power of God's word released through faith.

Healed of Cancer
by Dodie Osteen is a
book every person should read who has been given a
death sentence by doctors. She was given a few weeks
to live and sent home to die.

Exceedingly Growing Faith
by Kenneth E. Hagin gives you revelation knowledge teaching on how to develop and use the God kind of faith.

Faith and Confession
by Charles Capps reveals how to activate faith and confession of God's Word in your life.

The Tongue, A Creative Force
by Charles Capps will
reveal to you the importance of the words you
speak. It makes clear what should be coming out of
your mouth for you to live the victorious life God
has destined for you. I gave this book to my Christian
dentist and he emailed me back and shared
how much he appreciated this book. It is a classic.

Quantum Faith
by Annette Capps. "Words are the most powerful things in the universe today. They can defeat you or they can bring you life. They can make the difference in your finances and your well-being.

How does quantum physics relate to the Bible?
Can words move mountains?
How did Jesus supersede the laws of physics?

There are amazing similarities between the teachings of Jesus and the discoveries of the new physics, quantum theory. The concept of speaking to mountains and trees may not be religious metaphor, but laws of a new physics that have not been fully understood.

Jesus taught that our words are powerful enough to move physical matter. Quantum physics has discovered that subatomic particles respond to the observer.

In this book, you will discover that your words and your faith (beliefs) are unseen forces that affect everything in your world. You are the one giving substance to your world through words!"
