Attention:
Serious Minded Christians
ONLY! Dear
Friend, Can you keep a secret? If
you are frustrated with the outcome of your prayers to date, and you truly
want to spend your time now receiving
answers to all the prayers you’ve been praying, including the
ones you’ve prayed in the past, then this may be the most important
message you will ever read. Here’s
why: My
name is Elisha Goodman, and up until recently, I was a complete
failure when it came to receiving answers to prayers (even
after praying and fasting). Whenever I prayed for something I would
believe that I had received it, as the Bible says, and would joyfully and
expectantly wait to possess it physically.
I would even “plant a seed” and wait. Then… void, nothing. And
then I’d walk away, wondering what could have gone wrong. Maybe
you’ve had a similar experience. Here’s
what was even more frustrating: on those few occasions when I was blessed
to have a “powerful” minister of God pray and prophesy over me
concerning some urgent issues in my life, I’d constantly be surprised by
how routinely the very
opposite of what I hoped for seemed to turn up! Has that ever happened to you? It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Things
like this just crush my faith like a grape. Maybe
you’ve had that happen to you too. The
few times I did receive answers to some prayers, I discovered that they
were “slippery”… here today, gone tomorrow, even though I
worked real hard, I was finding it difficult to keep them! After
a while I got so frustrated, I quit praying altogether. I
felt like such a loser. It was just easier to go to church, and
limit myself to praising and
worshipping God, than it was to actually ask God for anything in prayer.
After all, I reasoned, there
was no risk of praying and hoping for
answers that would never come… if all I did was praising and
worshipping God. My
hopes had been raised and dashed too many times in the past. I didn’t
want to be disappointed anymore. I
was beginning to think that maybe I should look for “alternatives,”
since prayer was not working for me, when an unusual thing happened, a
single event
that literally changed my life, and put me on the true path to receiving answers
to MOST of the prayers I’ve ever prayed, on demand! And,
I’m convinced any
determined Christian can get these same results for themselves, no
matter their circumstances, or how long they’ve been praying without
results. Skeptical?
I don’t blame you… if you had told me a few years ago I’d be
teaching people how to receive answers to all their prayers, even
the ones they've prayed in the past, I’d have given you a
“spiritual” smile but in my heart, well, I’d have been thinking,
“Oh! You’ve got to be kidding!” How
A “Battleship Accident” Helped Now,
the one thing I’ve always been interested in is “putting spiritual
things to the test.” I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of
duplicating the miraculous events of the Bible, and the one big thing
I’ve always had going is great faith and the obsessive will to learn new
spiritual secrets. I
routinely blow lots of cash on books and tapes, and “sowing of seeds.”
I travel all over the world to attend seminars, and other high priced
events. If there
is an event or resource that promises to demonstrate the power of God
as in the Bible, in any way, shape or form, I’m there. I also like to
meet with people whose lives are a testimonial of the miracle working
power of God. Anyways,
I was in a battleship years ago, to see the ship captain (his life was
full of miracles) who was introduced to me by a mutual friend. He steered
me into his meeting room and five minutes later, had to leave the room to
attend to some emergency. While waiting, my eyes fell on a bulletin on the
coffee table, with the screaming red headline: “21
Hidden Reasons Why Your Prayers Are Hardly My
curiosity aroused, I picked it up and began to read. Immediately, I was
arrested. This stuff was electrifying. I just couldn’t believe what I
was reading. What
this writer had to say about prayer was truly amazing… but
what was even more amazing was that I found myself writing down his
contact address and telephone number, and in a moment I was calling to
make an appointment to meet him. In the bulletin, one of the things he said was that there were 2 simple secrets that you need to know to guarantee ALMOST immediate answers to your prayers. He said that with these 2 simple secrets in front of her, not even a child could go wrong. He also said that a few Christians understand this, but have decided to keep it a closely guarded secret...
Included
at the end of his message was a prayer homework. Being a person who likes
to prove things, I decided to “test drive” the prayers that night
before going to bed, following his exact instructions. Then it happened! No
sooner had I dropped off to sleep than I found myself in what appeared to
be a lecture room with a man I’d never seen before, showing me a video
about my life – past, present and future! Then it hit me. Those
prayers… I had finally stumbled into something that worked! I
had to learn this man's secret. I’ve read the Bible through from cover
to cover, many times. I never knew you could apply portions of scripture
in prayer the way he instructed. Before I read his little bulletin, I
never could believe there was anything in the Bible like a secret in that
guaranteed answers to prayers, sometimes almost immediately. Like
Elijah praying for fire at Mount Carmel? Someone has estimated that this
prayer could not have lasted more than 17 seconds. Or
Moses. Or Even Jesus.
Could
there be some
secrets buried deep in the Bible
that can explain the unusual results they got every time they prayed? I
thought back on all those books on prayer (I have a huge library of them).
Not one of them mentioned even ONE single point that I learned in
this tiny bulletin. The
Amazing “Prayer Attraction” Secret of It took many attempts, but I was finally able to have an appointment with him. As I entered his counselling room, I brought out the bulletin and asked him, point blank: “Sir, I have read the Bible many times and, quite frankly, I don’t see these 2 secrets you talked about. Yet when I used these scriptures and prayed the prayer homework, I got results that shocked me. How does this all work? What’s
your secret? And, will it work for me?” He laughed when I said that. Then he told me something I’ll never forget as long as I live: “Elisha,”
he said, “I’ve been in ministry for a long, long time, and I’ve been
involved in amazing research into prayer and the word of God.” “The
word of God, when ‘deconstructed’ into little points or pieces, and
spoken aloud during prayer, produces mysterious results. If you can
imagine an invisible spaceship being launched as you pray, you’ll not be
far from the point. Imagine also that this spaceship heads straight to the
throne of God to receive the answers to your prayers and bring them back
down to you. On
its way back to you, loaded with God’s blessings, this spaceship
is drawn to you ‘magnetically’ as you continue to pray.
That’s one of the reasons the Bible says we should ‘pray without
ceasing.’ If you stop praying prematurely, you may never
see the answers to those prayers. I
used to be a complete failure as a minister until I applied what I’ve
just told you to my prayer life. And ever since then, to the glory of God,
the results have been here for all to see.” I looked around. This man’s ministry has been growing at the rate of 1,535 new members every month. For
15 straight years! “The
truth of the matter is,” he continued, “certain
prayers that you pray make you ‘spiritually magnetic’ … to attract
or magnetize what you’re asking God for. This prayer attraction
is a fundamental principle in the spiritual world. It was recognized and
applied by the Early Church. But in our modern Christianity we’ve
somehow managed to get away from this spiritual principle and are taught
the opposite of what works.” “All
you have to do is learn the kind of prayer that attracts what you pray
for, and ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes to ‘see’ when the
answer arrives. You don’t need a great anointing to do this. You
don’t need a big man of God to pray and lay hands on you. You don’t
need to know the entire Bible to do it. Most
People Do NOT Receive the Answers And
then he opened his Bible and showed me step-by-step exactly how he
received answers to his prayers, and how I could do the same. At some
point, he showed me how to pray what he called “anti-aging prayers.”
This kind of prayer slows down the aging process and makes people younger
than their age. It is called the Prayer of Caleb.
The look on my face was one of astonishment and disbelief. Then he
asked me: “How
old do you think I am?” “Fifty
eight, or possibly sixty,” was my response (I used to be quite good at
this sort of thing). “You’re
wrong,” he said. “I’ll be celebrating my 84th birthday
this weekend.” Incredible!
He didn’t quite look sixty to me. Not to mention 84! As he talked I realized he truly knew what he was talking about and that receiving answers to prayers could even be step-by-step process. So
I decided to put these principles to work right away and here’s what
happened. You
see, for many years I'd been believing God for a management job that
matched my qualifications and experience. But I found that I always fell short. At the time that I learnt to apply these secrets, within a few months I had people calling me out of the blue and asking if I would be interested in top management positions in one firm or the other. Finally, I decided to apply for a hot new position at an up and coming technology firm. And that was when the miracle started. The position I applied for was that of general manager. To my surprise, I was offered the position of CEO! This was divine promotion of an order I never imagined! Nothing like this ever happened to me before! I was astounded. These
secrets not only worked, they worked better than he said they did! After
that day, I never looked back. Whenever I needed anything I just laid out
my prayer plan, engaged my prayer engines ... and before long, joyfully
look on as the answers begin to arrive.
Once, I saw a pastor who was struggling with declining membership in his church. I shared a couple of attraction prayer secrets with him. He was incredulous… just didn’t get it. I had to visit his little church once in a week for a few months and, voila, that building could no longer accommodate the worshippers. It became too small for them and they had to move! The
interesting thing is, I
haven’t been praying as much as I used to pray in the past.
I’m not even fasting more than I used to. No “big” powerful minister
of God has laid hands on me… or transferred, or even imparted anointing
to me. I am still the same, old believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, doing
my best to live the Christian life, just like anyone else. The big difference, however, is that NOW I spend most of my time teaching people how to attract and receive answers to their prayers. Why? Because
I am NOT happy that many Christians are being taught things that result in
just the opposite – chasing after elusive miracles like bloodhounds! Look,
once you understand how “prayer attraction” works, miracles will
literally be chasing you down. Your life will change FOREVER when you
discover these 2 Bible secrets I want to share with you. Do
you have something you’ve believed the Lord for? A special desire
you’d like to attract? If so, you can use these same “prayer
attraction” secrets to attract it, or almost any other answer you
desire.
You Must Be Careful NOT
to Ask For
