Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" for today is a vital key for answered prayer in any area of life!
Plead Your Case
"Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that you may be justified" (Isa. 43:26).
"Put me in remembrance." What does God mean by that? It means that we are to remind God of His promises about prayer. When you pray, stand before the throne of God and remind Him of His promises. Lay your case legally before Him, and plead it as a lawyer. A lawyer is continually bringing up law and precedent. You bring up God's Word. Bring up His covenant promises.
The margin of my King James reference Bible says "set forth thy cause" as another meaning of "declare thou" in this verse. God is asking you to bring His Word; to put Him in remembrance, and to plead your covenant rights. This is a challenge from God to lay your case before Him!
If your children are unsaved, find scriptures that cover your case. Then lay the matter before God. Be definite in your requests. Find scriptures that definitely promise you those things you need. When you come to God according to His Word, His Word does not fail.
Confession: I accept the challenge of the covenant-keeping God! I put God in remembrance of His promises. I plead my case. I set forth my cause legally. I find scriptures that cover my case, and I lay the matter before God. I come according to God's Word, and God's Word does not fail!
We looked a couple of days ago at 1 John 5:14-15. These verses say the same thing that we are discussing today! "Put me in remembrance." What does God mean by that? It means that we are to remind God of His promises about prayer. When you pray, stand before the throne of God and remind Him of His promises. Lay your case legally before Him, and plead it as a lawyer. A lawyer is continually bringing up law and precedent. You bring up God's Word. Bring up His covenant promises.

14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.

Find what the Word of God promises you concerning whatever situation you may be facing. Write those references down and then go over them again and again and again, meditating as in Joshua 1:8 until the light of His illumination makes that Word REAL to YOU! Now continue speaking that TRUTH over your life AND thanking and worshiping HIM for that answer BEFORE you see it, and you WILL see it! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
