Why do we insist on going through life acting so helpless? Do we not recognize what we have available to us through Jesus? Jesus has already provided everything we need to live victoriously when He died on that cross. Along with our souls He purchased much, much more. All we have to do is to receive those gifts, just as easily as we received the gift of Jesus and His salvation.
We are told that if we believe, we will receive what we ask for in prayer when using the name of Jesus. So all we have to do when we need something is to pray for said gift to operate in our lives using the name of Jesus, and receive it because it has already been provided. That is one reason why it is so important to read your Bible-- to know what He has promised you.
Remember that you were meant to live a victorious life through the power of the Holy Spirit. If you act helpless, you will become helpless. God helps those who help themselves. All you have to do is believe in what He has already promised and provided for us and then receive it. It is as simple as that.
1 Peter 2:24-25 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. (ESV)
Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (NLT)
Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (NIV)
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (NIV)
