Something that I have learned in my career as a Christian is nothing more than "believing" and then "receiving." It's something as simple as the Word of God says in Mark 9:23
.... to who believes that everything is possible.
In a sense, the word "receive" is synonymous with the word "believe." We cannot receive something unless we believe in it.
In the spiritual realm, when you and I believe something, we receive it in the heart. If a physical manifestation is necessary, it will come after believing, not before. In the world, they teach us to believe what we see. In the kingdom of God, we must first learn to believe, and then we will see the manifestation of what we have believed (received, accepted in the heart).
According to the Scriptures, God has a good plan for each of us. I began to believe that firmly some years ago, and now I am living it. The good plan for me is always available, but for a long time of my life, I didn't believe it; Therefore, I could not receive it.
The Lord is willing to take everything negative that has happened to us and turn it into something positive, if only we believe.
