Receiving and believing can be, in supernatural terms, coincidental with each other. They can and often do happen at the same time. For when we believe, we can receive. When we receive or put ourselves in a position to receive, we can believe. Receiving and believing are not a chicken and egg relationship. Which is first is not as important as the fact that both happen within us because we are willing to open our life and heart to receive Christ and at the same time trust in Him and believe in Him. We wrap our arms around Christ because we believe Him and because we believe in Him. We receive Him because we believe Him and we believe in Him. Once we exercise the mustard seed of faith within us by planting the mustard seed, then His love, wisdom, truth, and reality appear within us.
