RECIEVING ANSWERS TO OUR PRAYERS...PART 2
Greetings to you
Lovely buddies! I promised last week that I was going to bring you the last
part how to receive answers to our prayers. Now the last part is this:
3. BELIEVING IS SEEING
Mark 11:20-24 NKJV
Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which
You cursed has withered away.” So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have
faith in God. For assuredly, I say to
you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and
does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be
done, he will have whatever he says.
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe
that you receive them, and you will have them.
It is often said that
'seeing is believing'. Our main focus is on verse 24, which says that 'whatever things you ask when you
pray, believe that you recieve them, and
you shall have them'.
Thus contrary to world
views, in Christ, BELIEVING IS SEEING.
The ending part says that whatever thing you prayed for, the fact that you don’t
see them physically doesn't mean God didnt give it, you should first believe
you have received them, and you shall have it.
When Jesus cursed the
fig tree in Mark 11, there was no sign that the fig tree had died. Its leaves
were still green at the time. But what we didn't see was what was happening to
the roots of that fig tree when Jesus gave the word. Thus by morning, everybody saw the results,
the fig tree had its leaves dried up,
that was when the disciples believed what Jesus prayed for the day
before.
The world will always
have contrary views to what God has told you. When we ask God for something,
instantly there is a response in the spirit, the answer is ALWAYS released. It
takes your faith and confession to bring the answer to light. The fact that you
didn’t see your admission letter doesn’t mean that the administration of your
preferred school is not working on it. Lol
Let your reasoning, your talk and your attitude show that God answered
what you asked for in prayer.
Sometimes we get
desperate when it seems to keep long, but that doesn’t mean you should despair,
because the moment you do that, you have nullified what you prayed for, you
have aborted it before the answer even reaches you.
So brethren,
in-between 'AMEN' and 'THERE IT IS', is
our FAITH!!!
And you have enough
faith to recieve anything you asked for in prayer, so draw on that faith inside
you, and enjoy the benefits thereof.
Don’t be distracted by
people and circumstances around you, that is why we need to FOCUS on JESUS, the
author and perfector of our faith. In other words FOCUS ON THE WORD OF GOD! When we do this, we will not be distracted,
and we can bring answers to being in our lives.
WE NEED TO FIGHT THE
GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. It means holding on to God's word and conquering doubt and
fear, not regarding your present circumstances, but seeing yourself in the
light of God's Word despite adverse circumstances around you. You just can’t
bow to them! Holding on to the SPIRITUAL even though the PHYSICAL seems real,
but believing and knowing that the SPIRITUAL is more real.
HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH
BUDDIES, BECAUSE YOUR FAITH IS REAL AND
POTENT TO PRODUCE RESULTS IN YOUR LIFE!!
In our next post, we
will talk about PRAYER: THE HIGHER TRUTH.
Please read, comment
and share!!! You Are Blessed!!!
