“You have to pray it before you say it!”

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  ¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

I John 5:14-15

 ²³For 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.  ²⁴Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 

Mark 11:23-24

If you are wondering why your prayers aren’t answered – then you need to examine what you are praying and what you are saying. God is faithful and He does answer prayer but He also gave His Word so we would know what to pray for. God’s Word is our standard for life and it outlines God’s will for our lives. The Bible tells us what God has provided for us. It tells us what Jesus won for us when He died on the cross. It should be the foundation of what we are praying and what we are saying. When you find a promise in the Bible, apply that to your life through prayer. Then no matter the circumstance stick to it! Keep saying what God says about your life. Not what you see now. God confirms His Word with signs following. (Mark 16:20)

I will go to God for the keys before I put my mouth in gear.

“Your shout is your way out.”

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. 

Psalm 32:11

 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.  

Joshua 6:20

I will be glad and shout in triumph. I will sing praise to your exalted name, O Most High.

Psalm 9:2 TPT

Have you ever felt trapped by your circumstances and couldn’t see any way out? You need a new perspective. God’s perspective to be exact! God has provided a way of escape. But as long as you sit there and complain about those circumstances you are going to stay right there. Instead it is time to stand up spiritually and shout in triumph. It is time to release your faith and proclaim you are the victor over the circumstance, not the victim of it. Use your voice to declare for a decree what God’s Word says about your life. Things will not change until you change. Change what you say and watch the circumstances around you begin to move.

I will praise God for His power to deliver me from any negative situation.

“Keep your eyes on Jesus, not people, for answered prayers.”

²⁵And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,  ²⁶And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,  ²⁷When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.  ²⁸For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.  ²⁹And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

Mark 5:25-29

² We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation^[a] onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection.^[b] His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his,^[c] he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation,^[d] and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!

Hebrews 12:2 TPT

God may choose to answer my prayer through people, but I will always look to Him as my source.

“When the Spirit starts dealing with you, do not let go until you have gotten the answer.”

²⁴And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.  ²⁵And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.  ²⁶And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Genesis 32:24-26

Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

Matthew 7:7 AMPC

Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.

D.L. Moody

The great fault of the children of God is, they do not continue in prayer; they do not go on praying; they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God’s glory, they should pray until they get it.
