John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Everything the believer desires from God is already done. It doesn’t matter if it’s healing, provision, or deliverance from a bad habit, it’s already done. God’s not cooking up an order as soon as we ask Him in prayer. Whatever we desire, is already done.
It was done, by Jesus, on the cross at Calvary. When Jesus said, “It is finished,” He meant that literally. Jesus went through pain, suffering, and torture to get us back in right relationship with God and to allow us to reap the benefits of that right relationship with God. A great benefit of our relationship with God is that anything we need or desire has already been made available to us through the sacrifice of Jesus.
With this knowledge, it would be incorrect to say, God I thank you that you will (future tense) bless me with a job. Our job is already available for the taking. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. The correct thing is to believe that you’ve received whatever promise you desire. Our faith, in the finished works of Jesus, obtains the promises of God. Receive it and know it’s already done.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for–believe that you have received them, and you will have them.
