When we offer prayers to God, what He does in answer to them is to grant us a supply of His Spirit. Then, as we participate and co-operate with His Spirit, we will have a manifestation of the things He has granted us. As we work hand in hand with His Spirit, room is created for the manifestation of our requests.
Matt 7:7 says, ‘Ask, and it shall be given you seek, and ye shall find knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh, receiveth and he that seeketh, findeth and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?’ Also Luke 11:11- 13 says, ‘If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?’
The principle of the release of a measure of God’s Spirit (as His direct answer our prayers) is an underlying principle described in several passages of Scripture. In some passages, it is described as the Law of liberty.
In others, it has been described as the Law of the Spirit of Life and the Law of Faith. When you understand this principle, you gain access for the manifestation of things, as described in the Bible. This basic fundamental principle needs to be imbibed if you desire to see manifestations. This principle is exact, it must be put into operation. It is not enough for the principle to be heard. It needs to be practiced.
When you consider Luke’s account in Luke 11:11 - 13 ‘If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?’ It says that the Father gives the gift of the Holy Spirit in response to our requests. This means that when you offer up prayers to God, He imparts a measure of His Spirit in answer to those prayers.
If you do not understand this, you will keep on looking for those answers to spring up immediately in your environment. Consequently, you will be left wondering why God has not yet answered your prayers. This is because the answers have been despatched in ways that you were not looking out for. There is a spiritual law that tells us that when we offer up prayers to God about any matter, He responds by sending a supply of His Spirit.
This is in order to accomplish His will which is geared towards leading you to an expectant good end… For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jer 29:11).
