Mark 11:24(KJV)
Therefore, I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Our Lord Jesus Christ in our memory Scripture assures us that whatever we pray, we shall receive answers when we believe. Firmly believing in the power of prayer, we trust that our requests will be answered according to the Scriptures. Prayer is a communication line between the believer and God, and it is the most effective way by which we communicate our problems to God. Psalms 65:2 says, “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.” The Bible affirms that God answers prayers. Praying according to the rules, commit God’s integrity to answer us. Praying and having faith are two different things. Praying involves requesting God while having faith means believing that God will fulfill the request. Praying and having faith are two different things. Praying involves requesting God while having faith means believing that God will fulfill the request. We do not have to see it before we know that God has answered us; we have to believe that He has answered before we can see it. Believing is imperative when we pray.
Believing in the power of faith is the key to unlocking the potential of answered prayers. Faith is a powerful force that enables supernatural changes to occur. It is faith that engages the enemy and brings him to defeat. If we desire change in any realm of our lives, the force that is needed to effect that change is faith. It commits God’s integrity to make good His Promise and guarantees our access to all our inheritance in Christ. The prayer that must produce results is faith-based, moving God into action. Without faith, it is impossible to please God(Hebrews 11:6). The prayer wrapped in faith is making requests to God based on His Word with deep conviction and settled assurance. In the Kingdom of God, it is not just prayer that makes things work; prayer wrapped in faith produces results. It is a prayer that creates and does not take “No” for an answer.
Beloved, have faith in God because to receive anything from God, you must believe that you have received what you asked for and will have it. Believe that God has answered you before you see any physical manifestation. The phenomenon of seeing is not a prerequisite to believing; instead, it is the belief in the fulfillment of one’s prayer that precedes the manifestation of the answer from the Lord. Ensure you have the necessary provisions for answered prayers, not just requests. Instead of excessively worrying, get on your knees and pray. Today, activate your faith at the place of prayer by meditating on God’s Word. Read and study the Scriptures daily, for faith is fueled and more powerful or effective by the revealed Word. Always declare your expectations with authority. Never let the enemy have the final say in your life. Pray always, and nothing will be impossible for you to achieve. As you pray with faith, so shall all your expectations per God’s Word come to pass in your life in the Name of Jesus. I pray that every struggle or challenge in your life ends now, every sickness with a name bow and every horn opposing you is destroyed in Jesus’ Name. Remember, God answers prayers and will answer yours if you believe!
O Lord, give me the grace to pray and believe. Let Your promises to me manifest in my life in Jesus’ Name.
