Mark 11:24 24Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
A
blind lady was led to a great healing evangelist for prayer. After he
had prayed for her, he asked her, “Now, tell me what you see.” She
opened her eyes only to be told, “Close your eyes. Tell me what you
see.” She opened her eyes again only to be told, “I didn’t say to open
your eyes. I asked you what you saw. Close your eyes! Now, tell me what
you see.”
This
went on for a while, until the lady realized that the evangelist was
asking her what she saw on the inside. Did she see herself seeing? When
she understood that, she said, “I see myself with sight.” Then, the
evangelist told her, “Now, slowly open your eyes.” That moment, she
opened her eyes to perfect vision!
When
you prayed just now, what did you see inside you? Were you praying for
someone’s healing, but seeing that person in a coffin? Were you praying
for a financial breakthrough, but seeing the banks pursuing you till you
were bankrupt?
You
see, you don’t get what you pray for. You get what you believe you
receive when you pray. Jesus said, “Therefore I say to you, whatever
things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you
will have them.”
Beloved,
“whatever things” covers your every need. And believing that you
receive them comes before having them. Jesus once told a centurion, “Go
your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” The
centurion’s servant was healed that same hour. (Matthew 8:13) The
centurion believed that he received his miracle even before he saw it in
the natural.
So when you pray, what do you really believe and see on the inside?
“Well, Pastor Prince, I really can’t see it.”
Then
don’t pray yet. Change your vision on the inside first. Start seeing
your- self with the answer. See yourself healed. See yourself living in
the bigger house that you need. See yourself enjoying more than enough.
When you can see it and believe it, then pray in faith, and you will
have whatever you ask for!
