Answered Prayer — Standing in Faith on the Promises | Caribbean Reggae Highway Mix

"Answered Prayer" is a laid-back reggae-calypso journey through the steps of praying in faith — decide, find the scriptures, meditate, ask, believe, stand, and give thanks. A smooth long-drive groove built to keep the promises of God rolling through your mind mile after mile. — The Spiritual Engineer [Verse 1 — Decide] All I gotta do is ask my God above For the things I need, the promises He loves, I believe I receive them the moment that I ask, Be specific and be definite in every word I say. I pray according to the Word, not out of selfish need. [Verse 2 — Find the Scriptures] I go and find the scriptures that promise what I claim, If the Bible says it's mine, then it belongs to me, His Word is His will, and this I understand, The power's in the promise, it's the Word that takes command. [Chorus] Believe I receive it, right when I pray, Not later, not tomorrow, but this very day. I'll stand firm, guard my faith, refuse to ever waver, Regardless what I see or feel, I'll trust my gracious Savior. [Verse 3 — Meditate] Meditate day and night till it's fixed inside my heart, Not just my mind alone, but a deep and living part. It takes a little time to build the Word into my soul, So I can stand in faith until the answer makes me whole. [Verse 4 — Ask and Believe] Ask God for the things His Word has said I own, Believe I receive them, at the moment they're made known. I prayed according to His Word, believed I got it all, So now my job is just to stand, to guard, and never fall. [Chorus] Believe I receive it, right when I pray, Not later, not tomorrow, but this very day. I'll stand firm, guard my faith, refuse to ever waver, Regardless what I see or feel, I'll trust my gracious Savior. [Verse 5 — Don't Accept Less] Don't accept a thing that's less than He has willed, If the Bible says it's mine, then let it be fulfilled. 'Cause His Word says He does not, will never tell a lie, Let God be true, and every man a liar, that's my cry. [Verse 6 — Use the Sword] I fight the good fight of faith with all my might, The sword of the Spirit, God's own Word, I raise, When doubts and symptoms come, I speak the scripture's praise. I stand my ground on all His Word has promised me. [Bridge — Walk in Revelation] Sense-knowledge is the thing I feel and thing I see, But revelation truth, God's Word, is what will set me free. When the two of them conflict, I choose the Word alone, I walk by faith and not by sight, that's how I'm made to be. [Verse 7 — The Key] Here's the key: I act like every scripture's true, No matter what my senses try to tell me I should do. I see myself already holding what I need, The answer's in my hands, I plant that living seed. [Verse 8 — Give Thanks] Now I continually thank my God for the reply, I remind Him that I asked, remind Him what He said, It's my blood-bought right as His own child to see it through. [Final Chorus] Believe I receive it, right when I pray, Not later, not tomorrow, but this very day. I'll stand firm, guard my faith, refuse to ever waver, Regardless what I see or feel, I'll trust my gracious Savior.
