How to receive from God

1. Sign in to Heaven's Insurance policy: Salvation gives you access to God's blessings and fullness. It is also your visa to Heaven. Just like earthly fathers pay special attention to the needs of their children, God also pays special attention to those who are His children. John 3:3-8, John 1:12, Romans 8:31-32.

2. Discover God's will for your petition: His will is contained in His Word. Plead your case in the courts of Heaven like attorneys will plead the cases of their clients before earthly judges. Search the scriptures and get 2 or more authorities (of the scriptures) to back up your claim before the Judge of the whole earth. Isaiah 43:26, Isaiah 41:21.

3. Employ the divine equation: Prayer + Believing = Receiving. Many want to believe when they see the results of their prayers. True Biblical faith is the reverse. The moment you pray and believe is when things that shifting in your favor in the spiritual. Mark 11:22-24, John 20:29.

4. Engage the spirtual force of patience - Patience is the ability to wait actively for the manifestation of your prayers. It is staying power, and also a prerequisite to getting results after praying. Many Christians goof at this point! Remember Daniel had to wait for 21 days after his prayers were heard and responded to by Heaven. James 5:7, Hebrews 6:12,15.

5. Act as though you have the results: Hannah left Prophet Eli's presence with a smile, and also a word. To her, the word from Eli was as good as the baby she earnestly desired. Abram started bearing Abraham, the father of nations when he had no child. He gave genuine thanks to God for his desired result before manifestation day came. It is time for someone to go buy a cot before pregnancy kicks in. Romans 4:17-22, 1 Samuel 1:12-18.

6. Resist sin and every evil work: Satan will tempt you hard when he realises you are doing it right and birthing something in the spiritual. His aim is to stop the process.If you fail, quickly repent and get back into the flow. Keep your sight on the prize and pay the price. Receive grace to walk away from temptations and habitual, willful sin. Hebrews 12:1-2, Psa 66:18-19.
