At the risk of being repetitive, this is an area that we all to need to understand and grasp hold of. Firstly though, ask yourself, 'Do I need a faith transplant?' This is important, because without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). So before you carry on reading, put this right by asking God to increase your faith. A word of warning though; when you ask such a thing, he will test you in several areas to see how you're doing.
When we ask God for something, we need to believe that He has heard us and that He is committed to giving us what we ask for. We then need to receive it by faith before we have it. Now this doesn't mean if we ask God to allow us to win the Lottery so that we'll be rich, that he will do this for us. The same as if we ask for a bigger and better house or car so we can spite our neighbours. He probably won't do this because we are asking amiss. (James 4:1-3). God is not our Santa Claus. He knows what we need, such as healing, finances, that special job, a house move etc. When we ask God out of need, not greed, He is willing to feed.
So therefore, when we come before Him with one of these needs - ready to ask according to His will - we need to:
PRAY - ask Him for what we need
BELIEVE - He has heard and will deliver
RECEIVE - Believe you have them.
APPLY IT - Put it into action by confessing what you've received
In other words, take it; receive it and have it and then apply it by confessing by faith. If you asked for healing, confess that you are healed even if you don't feel healed and still have the symptoms. Confess that you are healed.
'Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.' Romans 10:17. Don't negate or cancel out your healing by thinking or saying that you feel awful and not healed. Keep believing and confessing and it will come about. If you doubt you'll be without. This goes for any other area that you're praying and believing for - finances, home, job, family etc.
Don't be tempted to give up. At times, people receive what they've asked for, instantly. At other times, there is a wait for the manifestation. Don't be impatient, wait for it:
'Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry'
Habakkuk 2:3. NKJV
