Shalom! What you believe when you pray and afterwards matter. What you believe determines whether or not you ever get hold of what you desired of God.
Whenever you pray and ask God for anything, God wants you to believe that you have recieved whatever it is you asked for. If you asked God for a cat, believe you have recieved the cat and you will get it.
Notice He didn't say you should believe that God is going to bring it, but that you have received it, and you have it now by faith. This is when results come. But if after praying, and you didn't see any difference, you then say, 'I don't think my prayer is answered', you have just aborted your own prayer.
As soon as Jesus cursed the fig tree, He turned around and went His own way. He didn't bother to wait and see whether any change has occurred, "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it" (Mark 11:14).
You can kill any sickness and disease this same way. Command the sickness or disease to die off your body in Jesus name and consider it done! Then watch yourself that you don't say anything contrary to what you wanted (desired) and had commanded.
It doesn't really matter what stage the disease has reached. You may still be feeling pain or as if your command didn't work. IT WORKED, AND IT'S WORKING. At least when you suffered from headache and pain, and you used paracetamol or panadol, you didn't get sudden relief. It took awhile for you to feel better. Your prayer worked. Wait for the result that is forthcoming. It doesn't matter what the doctors said about the disease. They may have done their best and have lost hope. Don't consider that, but consider the promise that Jesus gave us in John 14: 14, "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." Consider only Jesus' promise at this point.
For Abraham to have Isaac, he had to stop considering his old, worn-out body. He considered only God's promise to him. He accepted calling himself 'a father of many nations' (Abraham) even when his wife of over 40years is yet to conceive since God gave him the word of promise (Read Romans 4: 13-25). I will advice that you go over this lesson today many times over untill you understand it. It is a matter of life - your life.
See you next time. God bless.
