Here is an example of prayer based on these six steps:

“Father, in the Name of Jesus, we ask you for $_______.

“We have this money in our heavenly account and we
are withdrawing this amount now. We believe we receive
$________. As in Mark 11:23-24, we believe it in our hearts
and confess now that it is ours in the Name of Jesus. We agree
that we have $______ according to Matthew 18:19. From this
day forward, we roll the care of this over on You and thank You
for it. Satan, in the Name of Jesus, we take authority over
you; we bind your operation now and render you helpless.
Ministering spirits, we charge you to go forth and cause this
amount to come to us according to Hebrews 1:14. Father, we
praise Your Name for meeting our needs according to Your
riches in glory by Christ Jesus and for multiplying our seed
for sowing in the Name of Jesus.”

When I entered the ministry and enrolled in Oral Roberts
University, my wife and I lived in an old house in Tulsa, Okla.,
and because of business failures, we owed money in every
direction. Then, as we began to grasp the principle of seed-faith
giving and believing God to supply our needs, we decided to
believe God to pay these debts. One night we sat down and figured
what we owed. I got my checkbook and wrote out the
checks that would pay these debts. We laid hands on them and
prayed according to Romans 13:8. “Owe no man any thing, but
to love one another.” I said, “Father, in the Name of Jesus, I am
putting these checks in this desk drawer and am believing You
to get us out of this mess. I am looking to You for the money to
pay all these debts, in the Name of Jesus.” I was not so foolish
as to mail those checks before the money was in the bank. That
is against the law. God will not bless fraud!

We figured to the last penny how much it would take to
operate our household abundantly, even allowing for unexpected
things. We wrote it down and prayed over it in the Name of
Jesus. I made up my mind to be single-minded from that day
forward, and in less than 12 months from that night, we did
not owe anything and haven’t owed a penny since. God did
some miraculous things during that time, and He is still doing
them today! Praise God!
