Desire, Pray And Receive
Friday, September 29, 2023Key Verse
“Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24).
Text — Mark 11:22-24
Message
According to John Wesley, “God does nothing except in response to believing prayer.” This implies that the only way to bring God into our life situation is through prayers. Prayer is communing with God. It is the means through which we express our desire to God. It is the channel through which we encounter God’s supernatural power that moves our mountains, breaks our yoke and sets us free from all our challenges. God’s promises will never be fulfilled in our lives unless we pray (Ezekiel 36:36, 37).
Faith is the hand with which we receive answers to our prayers. It is believing before seeing. It means forsaking all and trusting the Lord. Faith leads us to obedience and persistence in prayers until our needs are met. There is no burden too great to be taken to God in prayer. As you trust in Him, He will see you through as He has done for others, in Jesus name (Luke 1:45).
