Scripture of the Day:   Mark 11:24“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”Believe You ReceiveWe spent the last few days about how important it is for you to identify what you want, exactly, before you start to pray. We talked about the importance of knowing specific scriptures you can quote when confronted with a demonic attack.I want to look now, at receiving answers to your prayer requests to God for the things you want. You can do this by simply believing the scriptures and the prayers you said actually worked. Notice I used a past tense on worked. Not that “they will work.” Not that “they are going to work.” But, when you prayed – they WORKED. The job was done.“Well, brother bob, what if I don’t see the results.”Let me ask you this.  Are you saved? “YES”How do you know?“Well, Jesus said I was when I asked Him to forgive me and come into my heart…”Did you SEE any change your body? Did money start raining down from Heaven to help you financially? Did life suddenly become all sunshine and roses?“No – but it did get better over time…”EXACTLY! That is my point!YES – some people will see an immediate event or change. Someone they prayed for will instantly be healed. Someone you pray for to be healed will die. Did God answer your prayer?“No – they died…”But – where did they go? Once they died, where did they go? If they were Christians, they went to Heaven, right? So they have received a Glorified Body and they will never be sick again!“Yeah, but – I wanted them healed here…”First, “don’t’ Yeah, but – God. Ok.Second, what YOU want – was it backed up by scripture?  Did you find a scripture that said, “So and so will be healed and stay here?”The answer is NO.“But I don’t understand. You said to believe we receive and we could have it. I prayed and they died. I didn’t get what I wanted for the answer.”This can quickly turn into a very indepth teaching…and I’m trying to keep this teaching short. We will go over this more in upcoming sessions. But let me say this…Notice what you just said in regards to this example.I wanted… I wanted them healed. Now, let’s go back to our scripture references. Remember, we are focusing all of our requests on scripture, right? That is the purpose of this training.Matthew 6:32 says, “…your Heavenly Father knows you NEED all of these THINGS.”Ok. So there are THINGS YOU NEED. Notice that…He is telling us to ASK FOR THE THINGS WE NEED…He expects us to come to Him in prayer, in the Name of Jesus, and ASK FOR THE THINGS WE NEED…One more time… NEED.  Notice the words you uses in the example I provided… WANTED.There is a difference between a NEED and a WANT.I want a million dollars.  But do I NEED a million dollars?  Or would $1,000 meet my need that I’m faced with right now?See the difference?  In the example I used about praying for someone who was sick and they died and went to Heaven. They are healed in Heaven and never will be sick anymore. You said you WANTED them Healed. But did you NEED them healed?  I’m not being cold and hard hearted here. Nobody wants a loved one to die. Even if they are 90 years old. Nobody wants that…but yet, these bodies and these lives are meant to terminate in the natural. Some in a matter of days, unfortunately and some many, many years later. That is why it is so important to get people born again and into the Kingdom of God and the Body of Christ. That is why it is so...
