Faith is what moves God.
Faith - It's all about believing.
You don't know how it will happen, but you know it will happen.
Faith causes you to know in your heart before you see with your
eyes. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith is the key to your material provision.
Faith is obedience to God.
Faith is knowing that God Will.
"You didn't choose me! I chose you! I appointed you to go and
produce lovely fruit always, so that no matter what you ask for
from the Father, using my name, He will give it
to you."
John 15:16
Don't let your
discouragement make the devil rejoice.Do not give up on the things God has placed in your heart.
Keep pushing and praying, and He will direct you.
God is for you, and Jesus is with you.
The Holy Spirit lives in you, so what is stopping you?
Go for it.
You can trust God completely, even in hopeless situations.
No problem is too great to be placed in God's hands.
God is love.
* Satan is the one that comes to destroy.
Are you asking God to touch your life and circumstances,
but not really expecting God to move for you?
If you pray and ask Him to move, but you never really expect
Him to do so, you are praying and asking in unbelief.
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that comes
to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder to
them that diligently seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6
'The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger,
abounding in love.'
"And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will
receive."
Matthew 21:22
If you really believe that God heard you when you approached
Him with His written promise, you will not keep asking over
and over.
Asking over and over is not believing, it's doubting.
If you think that God won't for some reason, you aredoubting.
Doubt means:
"to be undecided or skeptical about something."
It is a lack of certainty and a lack of trust.
As Christians, doubt is an enemy to our faith because we are to
believe what God has said will happen.
If we doubt God's ability to answer our prayers, then He will not
answer them.
Faith, genuine faith that comes from the heart, matters more
to God than anything we say or do.
God answers your prayers not because you are good,
but because He is good.
Faith activates God.
God will reward your faithfulness.
"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actuallyhappen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see...
"By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed
at God's command, that what we now see did not come from
anything that can be seen"
Hebrews 11:1,3
Depend upon Jesus, for He said, "You may ask anything
in MyName, I will do it."
Wishing and hoping is not good enough.
You must have faith and believe.
Depend on His promises.
When you doubt - we pray and nothing happens.
You become disappointed and discouraged.
Your faith weakens.
The devil tempts us to believe that our prayer is ineffective
or that God doesn't care.
God limits or even refuses to work in a person's life when
that person's faith is weakened by doubt or unbelief.
Mark 6:5, James 1:7
Change your unbelief into belief.
It is God's will to do what His Word promises.According to God's will, you will have anything you ask for.
Trust without wavering (no hesitating, no doubting) faith.
"But when you ask God, be sure that you really expect Him
to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of
the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind."
James 1:6,7
We are expected to believe God without doubting and
without wavering faith.
Wavering means:
Between belief and unbelief
( whether or not God will actually do what you asked of Him.)
Correct your wavering.
God promised, "Ask and you shall receive."
and God said, "Cast all your care upon Me."
Power in prayer comes from believing God's promises.
Believing involves thinking, talking, and acting as though you
have already received.
Those who put their trust in God will never be disappointed.
If your faith is based on your feelings, emotions,or circumstances, it will be unstable - up one minute and
down the next, but a stable faith will enable you to
believe and receive.
When the devil puts lies in you mind like:
"You can't do this." or "It's not going to happen.",
you need to recognize that ALL discouraging thoughts
are coming from the devil, and you need to reject them.
The
devil gets you thinking negatively about God,don't let him.
Don't listen to negative thoughts the devil wants you to believe.
Negative thoughts are not from God.
Reject every negative thought that comes to mind.
Don't let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump.
Faith causes the promised blessing to manifest.
Doubt prevents it.
"Believe that you have
received."Clearly we are to believe that we receive the very things
we ask for.
Jesus does not say that the Father may give us something
else because He knows what is best.
Believe God's Word that we receive whatever we ask.
Only believing prayer moves God and receives from Him.
God responds to faith.
The Bible says all believing prayer will receive the believed result.
God says no to unbelieving prayer.
Don't be afraid of what could go wrong, trust God to make
everything alright.
Don't be afraid to trust God.
He's bigger than any problem you could ever have.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10
'There is no question that faith is a key element in effective prayer.
On one occasion, Jesus could not do many things (miracles)
in a certain place because of the unbelief of the people there.'
Matthew 13:58
You can't stand effectively on "blind faith".
You must have a "knowing" faith, and that comes from believing
wholeheartedly what the Word Promises.
You know God has spoken it and declared it to be so, and you
know you can depend on that.
Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance,but it is taking hold of God's willingness.
God never disappoints anyone who puts their trust in Him.
God is faithful, and He does what He promises.
"God keeps every promise He makes"
Proverbs 30:5
'The Lord is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful
in all He does.'
Psalm145:5
Because God is faithful to His promises,
He will answer your prayer.
All things are possible with God, nothing is beyond His power.
"For with God all things are possible."
Mark 10:27
Beware of those Christians whose faith is based ontheir own ideas and feelings, and what they think is right,
and not on God's Word.
Some people say,"It may not be God's will.", or "If it is God's will."
There is no "If's". The truth is: God's Word IS His will.
He only promises things that He is willing to do.
So do not have any doubt of uncertainty as to what the
will of God is.
All of God's promises are His will for you.
You must ask God for what you want and Believe that
you receive it.
Life is too short for "if's" and "maybe".
Have faith, know that God will.
Some people might say - "God wants
what is best for you.",or
"He might give you something better."
So, if you are praying for something and believe that you receive it,
what if it is not what God wants?
How are you supposed to "Believe you have received it"?
The answer is: Jesus said "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask
for when you pray, believe that you receive them,
and you will have them."
Mark 11:24
Focus on God's Word and ignore everything else, no matter how
reasonable or logical it may sound.
Unless
someone is trying to pray a curse down on someoneor something equally foolish - believing that your prayers went
unanswered because "It must not be God's will.",
is not only unscriptual, but it is a faith - destroying doctrine
of demons designed to keep you from obtaining those
things that are rightfully yours through the sacrifice of Jesus.
We
don't have to guess about it, or ask God "if" it is His
willfor us to have what we ask for.
He already said it is.
"Don’t let others spoil your faith and joy with their philosophies,
their wrong and shallow answers built on men’s thoughts and
ideas, instead of on what Christ has said."
Colossians 2:8
You must believe that God has granted
your request,and that the answer belongs to you, and that it is on it's way
into your life.
Jesus did not say you are to believe that God is going to give
you an answer sometime.
You must believe God gives you an answer when you pray,
and the answer is 'Yes'.
Jesus told you to "Believe when you pray."
* God says "Yes" to all believing prayer.
* To the doubt filled unbelieving prayer, God says 'No'.
"For all the promises of God in Him
are 'Yes', and in Him'Amen', to the glory of God through us."
2 Cor. 1:20
Present your requests in faith and positively
(not begging or pleading).
God blesses those who believe Him and act on that faith with
confidence in Him.
Think positive. You must believe.
Thank God in advance before you physically receive your request.
* Know that God will do what He said that He will do. He will
cause it to happen.
* Jesus literally said,
"If you believe in your heart that God will do what He said He will do,
and if you do not doubt, you will have whatever you ask."
Power to move mountains. This is what Jesus said.
His promise includes that and more.
It includes all things.
“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Matthew 21:22
It sounds too good to be true,
but it is true.
