THE POWER OF SEEING WHAT YOU BELIEVE

“Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
(John 14:13-14)

There is no argument that PRAYER is a powerful instrument in the mouth of a Believer to call all of Heaven down into the midst of our most difficult circumstances and struggles – especially when we pray the Word of God!

The World would say ‘I’ll Believe it when I see it’, but Jesus said we must ‘Believe it BEFORE you see it.’ You see, God’s Word is His will. So, when we ask anything that we desire according to a promise in His Word, we can rest assured He has heard us and that we will have what we have asked for if we believe that we receive it.

“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.”
(Mark 11:24)

When we place an order to make a purchase for a product online, we don’t sit around wringing our hands wondering IF the merchandise will arrive. We have Faith that the item will eventually arrive and don’t give it much thought thereafter, because once we have clicked “PLACE ORDER”, we ‘BELIEVE WE WILL RECEIVE’ it. In the same manner, when we pray, we have to ‘BELIEVE WE RECEIVE’ what we ask for and THEN we shall have it because Jesus promised!

So, pray the promises of God and have Faith it is yours in the Spiritual realm when you have said “Amen”. See the answer with your Eye of Faith and don’t wait to believe it until you ‘SEE THE RESULTS’ manifested in your Physical realm!

“I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But YOU MUST REALLY BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN AND HAVE NO DOUBT IN YOUR HEART!”
(Mark 11:23 NLT)

THE POWER OF GOD’S GRACE

Most of us have never fully experienced the true power of God’s Grace upon us. Oh, we know some basic facts about it. We know we were saved by it (Ephesians 2:8), but we do not completely understand the real power it can release in our lives today! To truly understand what God’s Grace in our life can really do, look at what happened to the early Christians in Acts 3-4.

After conducting an open-air, Healing Revival Service in Acts 3 where 5,000 men (not counting women and children) had been saved, Peter and John were threatened by their religious leaders and commanded to not speak nor teach anymore in Jesus’ Name. So, in Acts 4:29-30 they prayed, “…Grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word, by stretching out Your hand to Heal, and that Signs and Wonders may be done through the name of Your Holy Servant, Jesus!” As a result of that prayer, we find in verse 33 that “…GREAT GRACE was upon them all!”

Great Grace – Grace so powerful that when those believers received it, the whole building shook! Grace so great it enabled the apostles to work “many signs and wonders...among the people” (Acts 5:12).

That one story alone should be enough to convince you that God’s Grace is not just some abstract, spiritual state of mind. God’s Grace is real. It is powerful – it provides the supernatural power to make things happen!

But, the most exciting thing is the Bible tells us that same Grace that was available to the early Church is available TODAY to anyone who’s ever sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. "And God is able to make ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance FOR EVERY GOOD WORK!" (2 Corinthians 9:8) Thank God, that means you and I qualify!

So, if the devil has been threatening you lately, follow the example of those early Christians and begin to discover what grace is really all about! Get in prayer and say, “Lord, I don’t care what the devil and his bunch say, I’m not going to back down. I’m going to keep on talking and living by Faith, and I’m going to do it boldly. So, just turn up the power and grant me the boldness to be your visual aid of Heaven here on Earth!”

THE POWER OF HOPE

Hope, also known as our confident expectation, is the activator in our Faith in God’s Word while we patiently wait to inherit His promises (Hebrews 6:12). You see, without Hope, we may become discouraged and give up on our Faith, doubting whether God will come through for us. However, with Hope, we can weather any storm and endure any trial, knowing that God is Faithful in keeping His promises.

Our confident expectation can give us the strength to endure and wait patiently for the desired outcome. When we have Faith in God’s Word, then our Hope in His Word becoming a reality in our lives can provide the motivation to hold on to our belief and continue moving us forward towards God’s intention to Faithfully manifest what He has said will happen. It is through the connection of Hope between our Faith in God and in waiting for it to come to pass that we can maintain our resolve and trust in the process of seeing it become a physical reality. It enables us to see beyond our present circumstances and into the future. We can have Hope for a better tomorrow, even if our today is filled with challenges and difficulties. This Hope is not based on wishful thinking or positive affirmations, but is rooted in the truth of God’s character and His promises!

Furthermore, Hope is contagious. When we have Hope, we can inspire and encourage others to Hope as well. We can offer Hope to those who are struggling or going through difficult times, reminding them that their current situation is not permanent and that better days are ahead.

In other words, Hope is an essential ingredient in our Faith walk. It provides the strength and motivation to endure and wait patiently for God’s promises to come to pass. It enables us to see beyond our present circumstances and inspires us to press on towards the future.

So, hold fast to your Hope, knowing that God cannot lie, He is Faithful, and His promises will come to pass in every area of your life.
