1Sam 1:18 "...So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad."

When God said "Call unto me", His intention is to answer. But
knowing how to receive these answers is always a challenge to many. So, what more can you do to receive answers to your prayers?

* Act your expectations

After Hannah had prayed in the temple, she went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad. Before the prayer, she was in bitterness of soul, because her counterpart mocked her for her barrenness. She wept so much that her husband asked her: "...Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons? (Chapter 1:8).

However, after she had prayed, she was no longer sad. She had not met her husband yet, and there was no physical change of any sort in her body to prove that her prayer was answered, but she decided to change her countenance to suit her expectation. God responded to that action and release her desire. In her exaltation she said: "...For the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed" (Chapter 2:3).

The weight of your action determines the response you get from heaven. God weighed Hannah's action and it provoked a series of visitation. Not only did she get the son she desired, she conceived, and bare three other sons and two daughters" (Chapter 2:21).

When you allow God's Word to determine your actions after praying, you can't miss God's response. Don't only confess your answer, act it! Take positive actions that clearly indicate you have received the answer and God will respond.

PRAYER: You will not miss God's intervention this season, in Jesus name.
