"The Prayer of Faith!"

Mark 11:24, NIVTherefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.In Mark 11, Jesus was hungry and walked over to a fig tree only to discover that it was barren. After He said, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again," there was no evidence that what He said had happened. But the next morning "the disciples saw the fig tree had withered from the roots." When Jesus spoke to the tree, the source was cut off in the roots. It had still looked alive, but it was just a matter of time before the outside caught up with the inside. When you pray, Jesus says you have to believe that God put the miracle in motion. You can't wait for the evidence, and then you'll start believing; you have to believe first. Whether it's for freedom from an addiction, the healing of a sickness, or a breakthrough in your finances, the prayer of faith says, "When I pray according to God's Word, I believe it happens right when I pray." It's just a matter of time, and you'll see what God promised.Father, thank You for all the promises You've given to me in Your Word. Thank You that I don't have to worry about if or how You're going to make them happen or stress out when I don't see things changing. I will believe first and declare that answers are on the way. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Send us Fan Mail Pastor Ricardo and Nuvia McCalla and company
