The Three-fold Secret of Answered Prayers that Jesus Revealed to Us All

It's not complicated. It's not hidden. It's only obscure so far as we choose not to look. But if you look, you will see and find. If you do not look you will not find. You're reading this post because you pray and you're praying because you want and those desires, you're looking forward so desperately to see them come to be. So let's get straight to the point! These are three keys to prayer, the three secrets if you will, or truths, to praying super-effectively and super-powerfully.

1) Having Faith Means you SEE your Answered Prayer - Seeing the Unseen and Imagination are One!

Have faith of God; for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say. Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you. (Mk 11:22-24)

Get this straight - the FIRST key to answered prayer is to ACT and FEEL like you already have it even though it is not manifest (Heb 11:1). We need to do some redefinitions here because it is crucial. When Jesus said "Have Faith" and "believe" He was speaking of SEEING, IMAGINING, FEELING. That's what faith and belief are... the Church has taught her children for such a long time that that faith and believing are intellectually agreeing with doctrines. If you want to get anywhere in the Kingdom, doctrines will shackle you and keep you in shallow spiritual waters all your life. Sorry to break it to you, but it's the truth. Doctrines make us comfortable with ourselves and help to label other people - yeah those goes are in, those guys are not. This is not the sword of division that Jesus came to bring, at the contrary this is the very sword of the Pharisees - the only group of people to which Jesus verbally exposed outright hostility.

Now this is a transforming, utterly transforming truth. When you "praying - believe that you receive" it means you FEEL AS IF IT'S TRUTH. Can you feel it? Can you literally place yourself there and just let your imagination wander within it's realization?

You can, right? It feels good, right?

Let's say you want a car. Imagine it's make and model and color and it's smell and you're driving here and there and locking the car and you feel good, right?

But what about VANITY and MATERIALISM... this is a secret within a secret... as you pray, even if you pray out of misplaced desires (for vain things, your ego, etc) and as you pray you feel like you have them already... well, you feel good? right? Right! And then it dawns on you: you don't need STUFF to make you happy! You already are Happy and Content and Living in that feeling without that thing. I mean, you thought that you'd be happy when you have such and such, but by praying for these things and believing (or feeling, seeing) that you have received it, suddenly you realize the feeling is what you always wanted and you don't need anything to have it!!!

This is just so amazing, what a secret, I'm super excited: to believe that you receive what you pray, whatever it maybe, as you are feeling it's manifestation, seeing the unseen, imagining it is true and already there, something magical happens. It makes the GOOD DESIRES come to pass and the lesser desires are transformed into better desires that also come to pass! Glory to God! 

Meditate on this and take literally EVERYTHING to God in prayer, don't be shy, bring to Him your basest (most vain and materialistic) desires, bring to Him your Holiest of Holy Desires, no matter, bring them all! The bad desires will be transformed to good desires and all your good desires will come to pass when you pray like this!

2) Forgive quickly, frequently and keep away from Condemnation and Guilt, neither receiving it nor giving it.

There's a reason Jesus taught about forgiving every time He taught us to pray. Consider the Lord's prayer and consider the continuation of Mark 11:22-24 here:

And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses; and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.’ (Mk 11:25,26)

This is something very, very important. It is something that not only will block your prayers, it will kill it's lovers from the inside - literally and spiritually. Yes, some people just can't let go of their forgiveness, they love holding a grudge. Others can't embrace Grace, because they're too arrogant and prideful to give up their Guilt and as a result, the Guilty almost always give more Guilt to others as they condemn them.

Clear your heart of unforgiveness, as many times as necessary, as many times as you feel it. Embrace the True Grace of God that declares you and your neighbor forever forgiven and let go of condemning yourself and condemning others. Do not even entertain these thoughts again and when you do, as we surely will do, let it be so fleeting that as soon as you smell their scent you cast them out.

Consider these words:

Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God, and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do. (1 John 3:21,22)

 ...reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ... (2 Cor 10:5)

So take care to guard your hearts and minds. Forgive yourself, forgive others - for God has forgiven you and them. If you struggle with unforgiveness, I would look to Paul (click here) who had every reason to hold on to guild as murder of Christians but somehow received and understood the Grace of God beyond any of his contemperaries.

3) Pray in the Name of Yeshua/Jesus - It is the Name meaning "I AM SALVATION"

And now friends this is one of those Rabbit Hole moments when I get all mystical.

You pray in the Name of Jesus all the time. You say your amen's and bless His Name. Now what is His Name?

Jesus told us to pray in His Name:

I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it. (John 14:13,14)

Wow! There's that whatever you ask again. I love it! But the NAME... I find God's Name is strange. I AM THAT I AM. God is existence and reality and above all personal (He is the I AM not the it is). This is God's Name and this is the Name He gave Moses.

Let me tell you, this is a great, great, great secret. When Jacob fought with the Angel of Yahowa (it was God who was the 'angel' whom I believe to be Yeshua or Jesus) Jacob demanded He tell him His Name. God declined to give it to him. Later, Moses asked about His Name too and God told him HIS Name - I AM THAT I AM or I AM.  To be precise, Moses asked the Lord about what he should tell the Israelites should they ask Moses for HIS Name... the Israelites, however, NEVER did ask Moses for God's Name! And to do this day, their ancestors, the Jewish Nation who are of the tribe of Judah and still carry the name of Israel do not know His Name and dare not even read it.

And yet... this was God's Name for Generations to Come! So here comes Jesus and what does Jesus tell the Father?

I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept. (John 17:6)

Wow! Jesus is the One who Reveals the NAME OF GOD TO ALL MANKIND.

Ok so then... Here's the thing, what does it really mean to pray in the Name of Yeshua/Jesus? I pray literally in His Name... "In Jesus' Name, Amen" we always pray like this. But I think we are missing something else in all of this, buried in the routine of this tradition. 

And God saith unto Moses, 'I AM THAT WHICH I AM;' He saith also, 'Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.' (Exo 3:14)

Why did Moses have to say I AM sent me to you? Shouldn't it have been the He is sent me to you?

I believe there is a great and very empowering truth in the I AM. When you appropriate the I AM you bring out the power of God already within, from your union with God that is in Christ - He is the Vine, you are the Branch and where does the vine really end and the branch begin? You are One with God. And when you appropriate through this Unity and the Blood of Christ, the I AM it empowers you greatly.

You can be like Paul, who said  I am what I am by the Grace of God and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and I have been crucified with Christ. These are all statements emanating from the I AM. There are many more you can say, but just meditating on the I AM, and attaching the Word of God and His promises and your Unity in Christ, to that I AM is powerful. As you mediate and pray, declaring or silently uttering or singing such things is awesome:

I AM above and not below.

I AM God's beloved son/daughter.

I AM capable of doing all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I AM One with the Father, One with the Son and One with the Spirit.

You see, if you are asking and praying to God because you think that the answer is there in Heaven then please consider this; Jesus asked us to pray, the very first was to Consecrate God's Name and the very second thing, was to Ask for His Kingdom. We have gone over the Name and now is the Kingdom, the Kingdom is the manifestation of God's Realm and Reign on Earth, His Love, Power and Glory, on Earth through you.

So let me close with this. Look at what Jesus said of the Kingdom:

And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, ‘The reign of God doth not come with observation; nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.’ (Lk 17:20,21)

The answer to your prayers is within YOU, the Kingdom, the Reign is in you. This is why you pray in the Name of the I AM SALVATION, because that Salvation is now borne with you, this is why you are Born of the Spirit and born again, it is what that means. His very Kingdom is within you.

God's Word Himself is within you (Deut 30:14) and so is His Kingdom and His Salvation (see James 1:21). It is all of Jesus and Jesus is all and He is also within you, He is the Vine, you are the Branch. Can you accept this?

So consider when Moses was faced with the biggest obstacle ever, the entire Egyptian Army behind him and the Red Sea before him, He cried out to God for salvation. And what did God say?

The LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. (Ex. 14:15,16)

You see we expect miracles from God when God is expecting miracles from us! 

The Word of Salvation is within you. The Power of Salvation is in your hand. The Kingdom of God is in you. You are One with the Father, One with the Son and One with the Spirit - He is the Vine, you are the Branch. 

It is time to pray in such a powerful way and to do away with our limited mentality. It is time to discover your inheritance. God bless you all.
