Matthew 21:21-22 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."

Holy Spirit filled is where all believers should start when they are praying to our Lord Ephesians 5:18.

Prayers are answered sometimes before you get the words out of your mouth. Sometimes prayers are answered, "Wait until you have grown in the Spirit, so that you will not consume them on your own lust". Sometimes prayers seem not to be answered at all. Sometimes prayers are answered "No".

You may say but the Bible says, "Believing you shall receive". The second you have to use the word "but", doubt has already entered into your heart. Doubt will always hinder all prayer.

Satan loves to send doubt into a believer's life, so that doubt can start a reaction of distrust. Distrust will in return say to the Lord, "You did not come through for me". Then the accuser has caused disruption between the believer and the Lord.

If the believer leaves this attitude left unchecked, they will end up in disbelief, walking away from the presence of God not to pray any more. Satan has done his work well. Be careful you do not end up deceived.

Bible References (KJV)

Ephesians 5:18 "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit"
