MARK 11:24 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

KEYWORD: True believing is not passive. Genuine faith produces action, boldness, and confession in alignment with God’s Word.

To believe means to accept something as true and to place confidence and trust in it with your heart. When it comes to believing God, it goes beyond agreeing with facts or hearing Scripture. It is a deep conviction that God’s Word is true regardless of circumstances, feelings, or human reasoning.
This is why Jesus, in our opening scripture, instructed us that when we pray, we must believe that we have received what we asked for, and in that receiving shall we see its manifestation. This tells you that as long as you can believe, you can have your expectations met and nothing will be impossible for you. Mark 9:23 says, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
How powerful it is to know that when a man truly believes God, he steps into the realm where impossibilities are overturned by the power of God. This is one of the reasons we are called believers in Christ. Our lives are meant to reflect confidence in God’s Word and dependence upon His ability.
True believing is not passive. Genuine faith produces action, boldness, and confession in alignment with God’s Word. This is why Jesus said a man can speak to a mountain and command it to move. Faith gives the believer access to walk in the possibilities and power of God.
Therefore, refuse to allow fear, doubt, or circumstances silence your faith. Continue to believe God, stand on His Word, and act in confidence knowing that He remains faithful to perform what He has spoken. Glory to God!

PRAYER:
Thank you, faithful God, for your goodness and mercies. I believe in your saving grace and in the authority of the name of Jesus Christ. I also believe in your ability to do beyond all that I ask for in prayer or desire, according to your power at work in me. Amen.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
