HOW TO RECEIVE ANSWERS TO PRAYER

Yesterday my co-producers Freeman, Sidney and I were in a recording session.  The topic of sickness came up. We prayed for a loved one’s healing which prompted the following discussion.

When we ask God for healing or victory over a situation what we do next, sets the wheels in motion.  Do we pray and go about our day with confidence God has heard our prayer or do we wonder if he heard us, will he answer our prayer?  Sidney reminded us that it’s the faith of that individual, which God is honoring.  Throughout scripture are accounts of Jesus proclaiming it’s a person’s faith in asking, believing and actions that were catalyst in their healing.

If you’re a praying person you have experienced this, if you’re not then its good food for thought; when you encounter someone who is dealing with a life challenge.

So we have to ask ourselves, do I truly believe God is able to perform, is what I’m asking in His will to perform?  When fear and worry creep up what do I do? Do I begin to thank God for His healing, victory over the situation?  Or do you resubmit the same prayer over and over? It wasn’t until I asked these questions that I learned that my faith in God wasn't as strong as I thought.  Once I began to understand His will for us, how God designed us to be interconnected with Him did I understand that as long as I’m plugged into Him, I am never without his power and guidance in my life.  I chose to never unplug.  I witness him in every day joys and challenges, helping me navigate life with precision…..His timing is incredible. 

So, there’s nothing wrong with asking fellow believers to pray for you but the most important element in your situation is your faith when you pray….if it needs strengthening this is your moment.

Ask in faith, believing and then thank Him. He has your answers.

PEACE,
