IT’S UP TO YOU

“Therefore I say to you, What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.”

MARK 11:24 (KJV)

We earlier saw from God’s word that one of the ways through which we can exercise our faith in God is through praying. This is very important as all that we desire are already realities in the realm of the spirit. Scripture assures us that we’ve been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus – Jesus became the security of our blessings.

Nevertheless, we still need to translate these blessings from heavenly – spiritual – places to earthly places. The only possibility to this would be through praying.

Praying and getting answers to prayer has been a major challenge for many, but Jesus gave us the solution to this challenge in our opening scripture – it’s up to you.

When we pray, we are expected to believe that we receive and we shall have what we desire. We are the ones to determine the answers we get. The point of praying is the point of receiving. Whatever you do not receive during prayer cannot be received outside prayer.

We’ve been blessed with all that we need for life and godliness and so all that is left is for us to receive the blessings. How do we receive in prayer? Simply by believing that we’ve been given what we desire and thanking God for the answer we already have.

Sometimes we pray and expect God to answer our prayers some days after praying. It does not work that way. God has already answered us in Jesus. Scripture says that all the promises of God are yes in him. God has said a big yes to your needs – it is his will for you.

The next time you pray to God don’t forget to take your answers before leaving – the name Jesus custodies your answers.
