Focus on becoming a giver. All too often, Christians seek the Lord’s hand and not His heart. They have a “give me” mentality.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to receive the abundance of blessings God has in store for you. The problem occurs when your prayers are self-centered. James 5:16 says, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed….”
If you want to see the results of your prayers, don’t just pray for others, bless them with something tangible. Jesus said:
Give, and [gifts] will be given to you….For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.
(Luke 6:38 AMP)
He said you can determine the measure of what is returned to you regardless of what you give-money, clothes, etc. As long as the Spirit of God leads you, you are guaranteed to be blessed in return.
If you’re determined to see the manifestation of what you pray, begin to follow these steps. They will bring results. With confidence, make your confession of faith every day:
I declare that I will have results in my prayer life. Whenever I pray by faith, I will receive whatever I’ve prayed. From this moment, I will not remain average. I will have extraordinary results. Because I am connected to Christ Jesus, I am anointed and I am an overcomer. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Child of God, you are anointed and you are blessed! Don’t ever forget that. Continually speak the Word of God daily and be prepared, results are on the way!
