As long as you are the one without in your thinking, you will be without in your life.
As long as you stay in the mindset that you are waiting for God to move, as long as you stay in the begging mentality, you are without.
The one without has not received. And as you think within yourself, so you are.
A popular saying is 'as within, so without.' While this is not a direct quote from scripture, it is what the Bible teaches.
'For as he thinks within himself, so he is...' [Proverbs 23:7]
"It shall be done to you according to your faith." [Matthew 9:29]
'The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil...' [Luke 6:45]
'Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.' [3 John 2]
We see from Romans 10 that faith is always in two places...the heart, or inner man, who believes, and the mouth, that speaks into the natural realm. One creates a spiritual state, the other a natural state. But the spiritual state always comes first.
Think about it. Are you still on the asking side, or have you crossed over into the 'have it' stage? Which side of the timeline are you...still wanting, or already possessing?
Are you still the one without, or the one with? Are your prayers answered or unanswered?
[Now this is important...1 John 5 says that if we ask ANYTHING according to His will, He hears us, and if He hears us, we have the requests we have asked from Him. If you've asked according to His will, which is revealed in His Word, you have it. Period. All the promises of God are YES in Him.]
Remember...
"Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but BELIEVES that what he SAYS is going to happen, it will be granted him.
"Therefore I say to you, ALL THINGS for which you PRAY and ASK, BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THEM, and they will be granted you." [Mark 11:22-24]
See the unseen. See yourself as the one with the promises, with the answered prayer. See yourself as blessed, healed, protected by angels, surrounded by the favor of God.
The Word calls us blessed. God the Father SAID that we are blessed. And what He says happens...
Cultivate your inner vision. And don't just see it once a week, or once a day. Train yourself to see it all the time...the Word fulfilled in your life.
See yourself as God sees you...as He [Jesus] IS, so are you in this world. [1 John 4:17]
Hallelujah!
