Received It
Believe that you have Received It.
Believe that you have Received the thing you Ask for – now, while you are Praying.
The Receiving or Accepting of an Answer to Prayer is just like the Receiving or Accepting of Jesus or of Forgiveness; it is a Spiritual Thing, an Act of Faith apart from feeling.
When I Come to Ask any Special Gift According to God’s Word, I Believe that what I Ask For is Given to me.
I Believe that I have it; I hold It in Faith.
I Thank God that it is mine.

1 CORINTHIANS 12.21-22
and an eye is not able to say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” But much more the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary,

JOHN 15.5
I AM the vine, you the branches; he who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to do anything;
JOHN 15.8
In this was My Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you will become My disciples.

1 JOHN 5.15
and if we have known that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.
MARK 11.24
Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—you ask, believe that you receive, and it will be to you.

LUKE 15.23-24
and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry, because this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
God Maintains It
God not only Claims It and Works It and Accepts It when I Bring It,
But God Maintains It.
Absolute Surrender, Yes!
Training
With a View to Training our spirit, the Holy Spirit Orders our environments.
Let us recognize that the Discipline of the Holy Spirit is the Primary and Very Best Training of our life.
Such Training is in His Hand, NOT in ours.
Intermittently, one exercise following another.
Here a blow, and there some joy; here a little patience and there something forsaken.
Being brought by the Spirit of God into a Oneness with the Spirit of His Word.
Done
If anyone…does not doubt in his heart, but Believes that what he says will happen, it will be Done for him.
This is the Blessing of the Prayer of Faith that Jesus Speaks of.
I Die Every Day
I die every day!
The Cross of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
I am a Crucified person.
Absolutely no confidence in ourselves.
