7 Steps To Answered Prayers

1. Decide what you want from God and be definite about it.
   6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:6-8
2. Read Scriptures That Promise The Answer. In order to be successful in our prayer life, God’s Word must be foremost
   8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8
3. Ask god for the Things You Want
   7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8
4. Believe That You Receive
   23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
5. Refuse To Doubt – Govern Our Thoughts; Particularly Evil and Doubtful Thoughts
   8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
6. Meditate On The Promises – We have to see ourselves with the ANSWER!!
   20My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22
7. Give God The Praise
   6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6
   

Thank god for the answer after we have prayed. Thinking faith thoughts are speaking faith words lead the heart out of defeat into victory!

DO NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT

Remind God that we asked for it and what His Word says, and tell Him you are expecting it. Than thank Him for it.
