Why new believers seem to receive easily from God?

Recently someone asked this question about why it seems like new believers receive much easily than believers for a long time. I thought it was a good question hence I decided to delve a bit deeper on this. I remember hearing Pastor Prince saying that when a person accepts Christ, it is purely by grace so they are not conscious of their own works in the beginning. Fresh on their minds are thoughts of how undeserving they were, yet Jesus came and saved them. So right after they received Christ, even when they failed, they are conscious of His love and His forgiveness, hence it didn't hinder their prayers. They knew the answer to their prayers had nothing to do with their performance.

However, after being saved for some time, they may be taught that yes they are saved by grace through faith in Christ, yet in order to be holy, they got to do this and that. Unknowing they are being put under the law. Previously before they accepted Christ, they may be living a sinful life but because they are not awakened to the law, they do not feel guilty or condemned. After they are saved, their eyes are opened to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and they felt guilty each time they sinned. They slowly forgot that at the point of conversion, Christ has forgiven them of all their sins: past, present and future. They become more aware of their trespasses than before they were saved.

Those who are constantly feeling condemned and guilty, having fallen short of the standard of God cannot receive from Him, though all these blessings were already paid for by Jesus at the cross. They disqualify themselves by putting themselves under the law. Pastor Prince said that law is natural but grace is supernatural. You can hear the gospel of grace preached to you for ten weeks and then for one week, you hear a mixed message of law and grace preached. The flesh easily lapses back to the law. It's so subtle, how the law came in by stealth.

That's why it is so important to keep hearing the grace message because that builds faith and faith is what causes believers to overcome in this life. Faith is the currency of heaven and when you have the faith of God, you easily receive from Him whatever you need in life. No wonder Pastor keeps quoting Romans 5:17 '...how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through Jesus Christ!' Hence the key to receiving from God is having an abundance of grace and gift of righteousness, causing us to reign in life!
