Confusion

Matthew 21:22 "If you believe in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."


so, I've been thinking lately a lot about faith...So I know that God answers some prayers with either Yes,no, or wait...But what about verses like these that tell us if we believe that a God will answer a prayer we want answered,then we have had enough faith..I hope that made sense. 
Now, I don't go for the health and wealth gospel. I think thats just tickling your ears really...
I think I'm just confused because God does say no to some prayers...but in this verse it makes it seem like anything you ask in His name, he will do it for you...I really hope this blog makes sense...
can anyone help?

  1. The way I've understood it is to mean if you are in His will, then you can be satisfied knowing what you ask He will do. I think often people understand it the other way around.

  3. It's kind of like I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That doesn't mean we can go do whatever we want in the world and have the power of Christ behind us. (Fraud or Rape as examples.) Christ isn't going to empower us to do horrible things, but if whatever we want to do is wishing His will, He gives us the power to do it.
