Seven Steps to Prayer that Brings Results

This manual will provide you with guidelines for successful prayer and declarations. We will briefly cover seven steps to prayer that brings results, as well as an outline of the general structure for Corporate Prayer and declaration in the local church.

1. Prayer that brings results must be based on God’s Word. If you want results, your prayers must be based on God’s Word. Divorce yourself from the traditions of men and get connected to that which gets results. You start with the answer instead of the problem.
John 1:15 – “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” Notice the beginning condition. Make sure you have God’s Word, have that Word abiding in you and you abide in that Word. What you ask will be what is abundantly in you (meaning the abundance of the Word). You are not just going to ask anything. You are going to ask according to the Word of God. And here is the guarantee – it shall be done unto you!
Search the Scriptures and write out on paper God’s answers from His Word. Plan the occasion to take God’s Word before Him and declare it. Read it out loud:
“Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus, and according to Isaiah 53:6,7; according to I Peter 2:24; according to this Scripture and that Scripture; where You said this, and You said that. And according to John 15:7, You said if this Word abide in me and I abide in this Word…”
You cannot just write it on paper and fail to write it on your heart. The creative power of God’s Word must be on the inside of you.

2. Begin the application of faith. Prayer doesn’t stop once you have left your knees. We now begin the application of faith by writing the Word of God on our heart, keeping it before our eyes and speaking it with our mouth. We cannot pray one thing in our prayer closet and then speak what is contradictory to what you have just prayed. Hold fast to your confession. Act as though it is already done. To be afraid to confess or to act as though it is already done is to doubt God’s Word. If God spoke it then He will surely bring it to pass.

3. Refuse to allow doubt and fear to enter your consciousness. Be aware that Satan can work in the areas of suggestions, dreams and visions. Make sure that anything you allow to be part of your thinking agrees with the Word of God. Anything that does not line up with the Word of God must be cast down under the authority of the Name of Jesus. God has given you authority over your thoughts.
It is possible to have doubt in your head while also having faith in your heart. In order for your spirit man to be in control over your soul (mind, will and emotions), it is necessary to feed your spirit with the Word of God in abundance. Again, you must keep the Word of God ever before your eyes, in your ears, in your mouth in order to write it on your heart. You must make a decision to agree only with the Word of God. You are establishing a witness. When you add your agreement with the Word God has spoken, you shall have that which you ask.
II Corinthians 10:5 – “…casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
4. See yourself succeeding and not failing. To receive anything by faith, it is important that we have an inside visual picture, an inner image of a covenant promise. We set our focus not on what we see in this physical world but on what is promised to us in the Word of God. If you can see it, you can have it!
II Corinthians 4:18 – “While we look not at the things, which are seen, but at the things, which are not seen: for the things, which are seen, are temporal; but the things, which are not seen, are eternal.”
Make no provision for failure. Do not speak failure, only success. Prepare to receive that for which you have prayed!
Romans 13:14 – “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.”
Joshua 1:8 – “This 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, then thou shalt have good success.”
5. Testify of what you believe. Don’t be afraid to tell it! What you believe is the Word of God. You are not testifying to your experiences, but rather what God’s Word says is true. Be mindful that it is God working in you both to will and to do His good pleasure. As your prayers begin to manifest, you must be sure not to boast or give credit to your own ability. Examine your motives. Give God ALL the credit, ALL the glory. Without Him you can do nothing. There is overcoming power in our testimony. We give voice to the Word of God by declaring our blood-bought right to what is written therein.
Revelation 12:11 – “And they overcame Him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”
6. Get involved in helping someone else. When you help someone else, God is able to help you. Find someone who lacks the very thing you have been praying for. Then help them to do it. In Genesis, chapters 39 - 41, we see Joseph making prosperity possible for Potiphar, the butler, Pharaoh and all of Egypt. In turn, God prospered him exceedingly, abundantly, above all that he could ask or think.
7. Get on the giving end. If you want results in your prayer life, get on the giving end. When you have needs, God will always talk to you about sowing some seeds. In the kingdom of God system, it pays to live a life of giving. Instead of just waiting to see your prayers manifested, you can determine your measure of return by giving. The measure by which your prayer is measured back to you is based on your giving.

Luke 6:38 – “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Noah, thank you, but I cannot take credit for anything but posting this. I found it in a manual on Intercessory prayer. I thought that it might help others in their prayer life, as well as myself. God bless.~
