5 Steps to Answered Prayers

Get Started.

Learning how to pray effectively is one of the most important things believers can ever do in their Christian walk.

God loves you. He has already blessed, healed, and prospered you. “It’s not a matter of trying to get God to move in your life; it’s a matter of you moving over into agreement with Him and receiving what He has already provided.” – Andrew Wommack

Our prayer life should be based and built upon the Word of God, with no unbelief.

This is the secret to answered prayer!

As we believe, decree, pray and apply the Word of God into our situations, we start to experience our breakthroughs.

Step 1: Believe.

 

  • Daily speak your scriptures out loud to your situation.
  • Keep your words in line with God’s promise.
  • Words are super-powerful! God created everything by speaking it into being. …then God said: “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1: 3.
  • God’s Word spoken daily is good medicine to your body and situation. Prov. 4: 20-22

Step 2: Speak

 

  • Keep your words in line with God’s promises over your situation.
  • Speaking the Word of God, out loud, changes the atmosphere around you.
  • The spoken word is super-powerful and has the power to breathe life into any deathly situation.
  • It is life to your spirit, soul, body, and every area of your life.

Isaiah 55:11
11 “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

 

Step 3: Pray

 

  • Great change starts with daily prayer.
  • Do a quick spiritual detox.
  • Forgive who you need to forgive, including yourself.
  • Ask God to forgive you of all doubt, fear, and unbelief. (Especially unbelief!).
  • Rebuke the devil and command him to take his hand off your healing and breakthrough in the name of Jesus.
  • Pray, ask, and thank God for your healing and breakthrough in Jesus’ name.
  • Take your scriptures and pray them back to God.
  • Here’s an easy example: “Father God, I thank you that your word says in Phil 4:19 that you will meet all my needs according to your glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

John 16:23–24
23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Matthew 7–8
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Mark 11:24
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Step 4: Learn

 

  • Keep studying and learning what God’s word says about you and your identity in Christ.
  • Knowing that God has already answered your prayers because he loves you, is HUGE!
  • Spend time in God’s word to build your faith.
  • Listen to testimonies and teachings on how the supernatural power of prayer changes lives for the good.

Step 5: Apply

 

Be Positive in Your Thinking

  • Let every thought affirm that you have what you asked for.
  • After you pray in faith according to God’s Word, never permit a picture of failure to remain in your mind.
  • Once you’ve prayed and asked God for something, never doubt that you have the answer.
  • If doubts persist, rebuke them.
  • Doubt is from the devil and his mission is to rob, steal and destroy you.
  • Get your mind on the answer through the Word.
  • The Bible says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). Doubt is from the devil.

Guard Your Mind

  • Guard against every evil thought that comes into your mind to try to make you doubt God’s Word.
  • To receive answers to your prayers, you must eradicate every image, suggestion, vision, and all other thoughts that do not build your faith.
  • Thoughts are governed by observation, association, and teaching.
  • The Bible says we are to cast down every imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5).
  • That’s why you should avoid all places, people, and things that do not support your affirmation that God has answered your prayer.

Summary.

 

Many people are thinking and focused on the wrong things.  They’re defeated in life as a result of this incorrect thinking.

Guard against every evil thought and focus only on those things, which affirm that God has heard and answered your prayers. If you will do that, you will be cooperating with God in faith.

As you stand your ground based on God’s Word, firm in the faith, your faith will see you through to victory!

To receive answers to your prayers, remember to:

  • Decide what you want from God,
  • Find scriptures for what you need,
  • Ask God for those things, and when you pray,
  • Believe that you receive them!

Faithfully following these steps will move you along the path to answered prayer.

Words Have Power. God’s Words Have Superpowers.

Scriptures God's Supernatural Word

The Power of Spoken Words

Have you ever pondered on these powerful scriptures?

The Beginning

Genesis 1:1-4

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

What supernatural power does God not hold in his spoken words?!

Imagine having the power to speak things into being.  The power to create something out of nothing.  The power to bring light into a dark environment and, the supernatural power to separate light from the darkness.

As you go through the lyrics of this amazing worship song, look at the supernatural activity that took place as God spoke…

So Will I (100 Billion X)

Hillsong Worship
 
God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light
 
And as You speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapor of Your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made
Every burning star
A signal fire of grace
If creation sings Your praises so will I
 
God of Your promise
You don’t speak in vain
No syllable empty or void
For once You have spoken
All nature and science
Follow the sound of Your voice
 
And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what You said
If it all reveals Your nature so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You say
Every painted sky
A canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You so will I
So will I
So will I
 
If the stars were made to worship so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high so will I
If the wind goes where You send it so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times
 
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failure and pride
On a hill You created
The light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die
 
And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender so will I
I can see Your heart
Eight billion different ways
Every precious one
A child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them so will I
 
Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire
You’re the One who never leaves the one behind

You have the keys to unleash the power of life and death into your world.

The incredible truth is you already have the authority to rule and reign on earth.  However, as a Christian, you have the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit operating within you to conquer darkness and perform all kinds of fantastic miracles.

God’s Word clearly states:

  • We have been created in God’s image, with God-given authority to rule and reign on earth.  Genesis 1:26-28
  • The same Spirit of God, that raised Jesus from the dead,  lives in you.  Romans 8:11

God’s desire is for you to live a victorious life and He has given you everything you need in Christ to overcome this world.

God’s Word spoken turns your battles into victories.

He loves you so much that He has given you the authority and power to be able to declare His word over your life and change the terrible situations you are facing into supernatural success stories. 

As you speak God’s Word into your challenges, both the spiritual and physical worlds shift and align to bring about your victories.

  1. the blind see,
    • you see opportunities in adversity.
  2. the lame walk,
    • you are able to get up and not give up.
  3. the lepers are cleansed,
    • your outlook on life clears as you start to replace lies and shame, with truth and confidence.
  4. the deaf hear,
    • as you start to tune into God’s voice and follow it, your victories outweigh your losses.
  5. the dead are raised,
    • what you thought was a lost cause, is given new life.
  6. the poor have the gospel preached to them,
    • as you share and release the Word of God, battles turn into victories for you and others.

A Quick Summary.

  • Find your “Power Scriptures”.
  • Start to declare them over your life and into your situations.
  • Be fully persuaded that God will do what He promised in His Word.

And, remember as Corrie Ten Boom once said, Jesus did it. The Bible says it. I believe it. And that settles it.
