Matthew 7:7 Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

If someone has a deep cut, doctors may instruct that person to bandage the wound and continue to apply pressure to the wound. Although the bandage controls the blood flow, the applied pressure stops the bleeding.

Applied pressure works spiritually as well. For believers, if we have a need or desire, we apply pressure for that promise. We properly ask God in faith and continue to believe that we’ve received our need or desire until it comes to pass. We may find a scripture related to our need or desire and confess it daily. We may even go on a fast to receive clarity on how to receive that need or desire.

As soon as that desire manifests itself, some of us pull back on our applied pressure. We may thank God for what we’ve prayed for, but some stop praying as much and some stop making their confessions. No! Continue to apply pressure on that promise. We may stop applying pressure, but the devil, who steals, kills, and destroys, continues to apply pressure on his end.

Yes, we may be married now, but the devil is attempting to destroy that marriage. Continue to apply pressure. Yes, we have our career, but the devil is attempting to steal that career. Continue to apply pressure. Yes, we’ve been healed of that disease, but the devil is attempting to resurrect that disease in our bodies. Continue to apply pressure. Whatever we did to get our need or desire, the same should be done to keep it.
