Have Faith In God

(Jesus said) “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.’” Mark 11:23

We are to ask in faith when we pray. Jesus said to His disciples, “Have faith in God....I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe3 that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

God’s Word the Bible is the basis for our faith. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” If God said it, you can believe it. When Adam and Eve were tempted in the garden, the first temptation was “Has God really said...?” The answer to that temptation needs to be “YES GOD HAS SAID.”

We need to seek God and read His Word and learn His will for our lives. Then we need to ask Him to help us have faith. Are you sick? Then pray in faith and ask God to heal you. God may use doctors or medicine, but pray for His healing. Is your child away from God? Ask God to bring your child to Him. You may need patience in faith. Abraham was the “father of faith” in the Bible; he had faith but he waited for many years for the promise. God may answer your prayers right away, or He may ask you to have faith for a while. And God knows what is best, so realize you need to pray always in submission to His will.

When Jesus was tempted, He spoke “It is written” and He quoted the Bible. You and I have the power of the Word of God available to us. So let us take up the shield of faith and the sword of the Word of God, and walk in the love of Jesus Christ. We do not war against people; the way of Christ is love. But we do need to stand strong in faith and trust God that if we pray according to His will, we know that we have the requests that we ask of Him.

So, this week, let us pray that

• God will bring health and healing to those that you know that are sick
• God will protect our staff at Global Media Outreach and fill us and empower us with His Holy Spirit
• God will spread the message of His love so the whole world will hear the good news of Jesus Christ

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God answers believing prayer from His children! It is wonderful to be children of God, to have Jesus Christ as our Savior.

May God bless you,
