Prayer is a great method God has placed for us to submit our supplications before Him and to receive our needs. But prayer cannot give answer for all our needs because there are also things God want us to obtain by conquering.
It's quite easy to receive things by prayer because it is like spoon feeding and it's quite difficult to receive things by conquering because we need fight using our power and strength to conquer something. Learning to achieve things by prayer increase our faith, but learning to achieve things by conquering make us warriors.
After all it's all a part of training by God. A perfect example for this is God leading the Israelites from Egypt. To lead the Israelites from Egypt, God heard their prayer. But in order to acquire the promised land, God wanted Israelites not to pray, but to conquer.
Lack of wisdom and understanding sometimes prevent people of God from realizing when to pray and when to conquer. Basically in order to receive things from God we need to pray. It is simply because it is not practical to conquer and achieve something from God like what Jacob did. Also our God is so good and gracious to answers to those who ask Him. It is clear from the words of Jesus, Matthew 7:11 "how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
But what about the things which is not under the superior control of God or in other words things God has released or given permission to us to go and get by conquering. A perfect example for this is Israelites conquering their promised land, given/released by God for them by war.
Likewise today God has given the permission and authority to conquer our rights, blessings, freedom and healings from all rulers, authority, power and dominion, of this dark world. By the way, the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:4)
Our weapons are,
Prayer: To pray and pray until you receive it.
Word of God: Use the word of God to pray and command until you receive the answer.
Name of Jesus Christ: Command in the name of Jesus Christ for your need to be released, to remove everything that is blocking your blessing and to change the adverse situations.
Proclaim: Proclaim to yourselves, others, air, situations, angels and devil what you believe with boldness.
Believe: Believe and believe that all the activities you do by faith will change the situations and hold on to what you believe and proclaim even on adverse situations.
Never Give Up: If you decided to receive something by conquering, never ever give up. Go forth until you receive it.
