Today I conclude my communion time from yesterday on receiving manifested answers to your prayers .

The critical issue for us as followers of Jesus is us knowing where the Lord is leading us to stand in order for us to receive the harvest, rather than allowing our flesh to push us into a place where the results of our prayers are aborted which can be very demoralising. We are not to allow our flesh to abort the harvest of answered prayers. There is a dangerous contrast between praying with tremendous expectation and then failing to reap because of fleshly responses, because we can begin prayer with a high level of expectation and confidence. However if we do not remain spiritually attentive during the waiting period, we can eventually move from high expectation to no expectation.

After praying and waiting for what seems like an endless period without visible results, discouragement can easily take over and this can make things appear like everything has been lost. This transition period from faith-filled expectation to hopelessness is precisely where the enemy wants to take us because it exposes the weakness of the flesh. But the revelation from the Holy Spirit always reveals another possibility that the answer may not be lost at all because the Lord is always willing to help us recover what we have missed or lost. Remember that your prayer answers are never lost because they come from the Lord.

One of the greatest insights from this revelation is the understanding that our prayer answers are not necessarily lost simply because we did not recognise or reap them at the time.

This is because the answers to the prayers are stored with the Lord until we come to Him in the Holy Spirit and discover the path into experiencing the answers here on earth. The Holy Spirit can show us how to cooperate with the Lord so that what has been prayed for can move into manifestation in the natural. This fact means that what appeared to be years of unanswered prayer may not have been evidence that the Lord refused to respond to us with an answer.

There may be prayer harvests that were sown through years of fervent prayer but were never properly reaped because we failed to track the process of answer in the Spirit. So this revelation therefore carries tremendous hope that we can recover answers to prayers that we may have missed over years of praying fervently. We can reap the Lord’s results that were gained when we prayed and bring those results into the realm of manifestation on earth through walking with the Holy Spirit. And when the prayer cycle is completed, the result is always fullness of joy. The effect of this revelation upon the intercessors was immediate.

They had entered the conversation in a place of despondency because of their prolonged experience of praying without seeing the desired results. But when the Holy Spirit opened their understanding and revealed what had been happening, their emotional and spiritual posture changed and they moved from despondency to excitement and great expectation as they became ready to go after their harvests again. This realisation that their prayers had not necessarily been lost transformed their outlook. So instead of seeing themselves as being abandoned by the Lord, they now understood that there was a spiritual pathway they could pursue with the Holy Spirit.

They were now ready to recover their harvests in the name of Jesus under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit which guarantees the miraculous to get the job done. This fact of restoration demonstrates the graciousness of the Lord towards His Own because He does not merely tell us that we missed something but He illuminates our understanding and shows us the way how to recover what we failed to receive previously.

This word is therefore offered as a source of grace for anyone who has become discouraged because of a lack of visible answers to prayer. Please do not allow despondency to convince you that the Lord does not care and do not interpret delay as abandonment by concluding that years of fervent prayer have been wasted simply because you have not yet seen the manifestation of the answer.

Instead, allow the Holy Spirit to awaken you to your spiritual heritage by asking Him to show you how to reap your prayer answers. Ask Him to show you where you need to stand in the spirit and exercise authority over the enemy. Then do what the Holy Spirit guides you to do no matter the cost. Ask the Holy what attitudes, reactions, behaviours, or fleshly responses you made that may have interfered with your ability to receive the harvest, ask Him to teach you how to remain spiritually alert as harvest time approaches.

Remember that the goal is not merely to pray more but it is for you to learn how to walk in closer union with the Holy Spirit throughout the entire prayer cycle. This is because there is a time to sow your prayer requests, then comes the time to watch in the Spirit where you must cooperate with the Holy Spirit and there is a time to reap the answered prayer, and there is a time to rejoice in the manifested answer. The Holy Spirit wants to teach us how to walk through every part of that process so we stop coming short of answers to prayer because the Lord is our answer and also our exceedingly great reward.

This revelation should reignite your resolve to walk more closely with the Holy Spirit because it reminds us that prayer is worth everything. It is worth committing our hearts, our faith, our time, our expectations, and our entire lives to the Lord through prayer as Jesus did in His walk and ministry on earth. Ultimately, we must remember that the Lord Himself is our answer and our exceedingly great reward. Therefore, even when circumstances appear impossible, we continue trusting Him because He is able to make the impossible possible.

We are never to allow the appearance of delay to redefine the Lord’s character in our lives and, we must not allow unanswered questions to make us believe that the Lord has abandoned us. Instead, we are to turn again to the Holy Spirit, who can restore our perspective, reveal the pathway forward, and position us to receive what the Lord has already prepared. The prayer harvests we may have missed are never beyond recovery and the Holy Spirit can guide us to where we need to be, by showing us how we need to respond, and reveal the way we need to walk so that the harvest can be brought into manifestation.

The ultimate purpose of this revelation is not just merely receiving things from the Lord but it is about us experiencing the restoration of the joy associated with answered prayer to fulfil Jesus’s desire for us that our joy may be full which translates to us being strengthened. Therefore, the Holy Spirit wants to lead us into the completion of the prayer cycle so that what was sown in prayer is eventually reaped and experienced in our daily lives. So that what once produced discouragement can become a testimony of triumph.

What appeared to be lost can be recovered and what looked impossible can become a manifestation of God’s mighty hand. What had produced despondency can become a source of excitement and renewed faith as what seemed like an unanswered prayer becomes an opportunity to learn a deeper level of union with the Holy Spirit. So today, receive grace to awaken you from despondency with more abundant grace to pursue the Lord again. Receive grace to learn how to remain spiritually watchful to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to receive the grace to recover the prayer harvests that have remained not manifested.

May the Holy Spirit guide you into where to stand, how to respond, and the way to walk so that the various prayer harvests you have sown may be recovered and manifested in the natural. May the joy you have missed through incomplete prayer cycles be restored and may your resolve to walk with the Holy Spirit become stronger, as you discover again the reality that it is worth everything to pray, trust, wait, cooperate, and to commit your all to the Lord. May you experience the Lord Himself as your answer and your exceedingly great reward in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I declare that every prayer harvest appointed for my life that I have failed to recognise, receive, or reap is being brought back into the light by the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. So I receive grace to recover what I thought was lost. In Jesus name I receive grace to return to places of faith where discouragement had pushed me away. I receive grace to pursue the Lord again with fervency and expectation.

I declare that the enemy will no longer turn my waiting season into a season of hopelessness and my earnest expectation will not die, as my faith will not collapse, and my prayers will no longer be empty religious exercises. I declare that I am learning to walk in closer union with the Holy Spirit throughout the entire prayer cycle of sowing, watching, waiting, cooperating, reaping, and rejoicing. I declare that the Lord is showing me where He is, how He is working, and where I need to position myself to receive what He has prepared for me.

I declare that impossible situations are being transformed by the mighty hand of the Lord and what appeared beyond human ability is not beyond the Lord’s ability to overturn because He is the Lord who makes the impossible possible. I declare that the joy associated with answered prayer is being restored back to me, and I will ask, receive, and experience the fullness of joy that Jesus promised. I declare that the years of fervent prayers are not wasted. By the grace and wisdom of the Holy Spirit, I am discovering how to recover my missed prayer harvests and bring God-results into manifestation on earth.

I declare that my passion for prayer being answered is being reignited and my expectation is being restored because my resolve is becoming stronger, as my confidence in the Lord’s faithfulness is being renewed. And above every answer I seek, I declare that the Lord Himself is my answer and my exceedingly great reward. Holy Spirit, please guide me to where I need to be, as you teach me how I need to walk, and show me how to reap every harvest You have prepared.

I will not give up and I will not faint. I will not abandon my place of prayer because I will walk with the Holy Spirit until the prayer cycle is complete and my joy is full as the manifestation of my answers come into being in the natural. My harvest is not lost so my earnest expectation is alive because My Lord is faithful to fulfil His promise of answered prayers, and I will see His mighty hand at work in my life in Jesus’ name, Amen.
