*EXILENT RECEIVERS*
God promises us that He will supply all your needs
in Christ (see Philippians 4:19), but Christians don’t
always know how to receive His provision. The
following points are to help you excellently receive all
that God has for you.
1. Many people are “expert askers” but not so
successful in receiving from God. Jesus said,
“Ask, and ye shall receive” (John 16:24). But
not only ask but also boldly expect to receive!
After we ask the Father, we should begin to
expect the answer. We should begin to praise
the Lord in faith for the answer, even before
we have seen or felt the evidence.
2. We must not hinder receiving by having any
wrong spirit. Jesus said, “When ye stand
praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any”
(Mark 11:25). These following things will
hinder our receiving answers to prayer:
unforgiveness, hidden resentments, covered-up
malice, and ill-will. Spiritual power cannot flow
through our lives with unforgiveness and
resentment. Ask the Lord to take away all
grudges, hate, and jealousy.
3. Again, Jesus said, “Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). Do
not go to the level of your enemies and hate.
Seek no retaliation. Make a list of the people
who have hurt or mistreated you, and pray for
each one by name. Practice forgiving them.
Don’t seek justification in your resentment.
Learn to speak kindly of these people. The
effect upon your own Christian life will be
amazing, and will oftentimes break down
barriers. Keep the channel of your own heart
clear and clean, so that the Spirit can flow
through you.
4. “My God shall supply all your need according
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 4:19). This powerhouse Scripture
means exactly what it says it means—all your
needs are met in Christ Jesus. As revealed in
the Word, you will discover the supply of every
need in y
