The
Prayer of Faith
As believers in Christ, faith is our lifestyle. Our
walk with God is a faith walk. Faith is that outstanding virtue that makes us
stand out as believers and different from unbelievers.
Faith involves work; that’s why it’s called our work
of faith – because faith without works is a corpse, as very dead as the body
without the spirit. Faith is a means of expressing the manifold wisdom,
greatness, and power of Almighty God, our Father. Faith means you have it now,
though you can’t see it with your two optical eyes. You see it with your eyes
of faith. You already possess it with your heart. It’s yours. Faith is an
inside business that produces outside benefits.
The prayer of faith comes with its own rules and
requirements. It involves making a request to God and SPEAKING to circumstances
in order to make them conform to our desires, without doubts in our hearts.
The specific rules of the prayer of faith are as
follows:
ü Specific Desire:
There must be a clear and specific desire in your heart;
ü The Vision:
You must see the unseen. That is, create a mental picture of that desire. The
extent of your vision is the boundary of your blessing! It’s only through the
eyes of faith that you can see the unseen, and that’s only practicable when the
desire is specific. Seeing the unseen is not the same as been optimistic. It’s
seeing the way God sees and speaking of it as though it’s physically present.
ü Your Evidence:
Faith is provable, admissible and reliable evidence you can use. It’s the title
deed to that business, land, building, car, marriage, contract, new born baby,
or income you so much desire.
ü Be Doubt-free:
There should be no doubt in your heart after praying. The prayer of faith is
heard once. Repeated asking more than once for the same thing in the prayer of
faith signifies doubt in your heart. This prayer demands that you believe you
receive the request when you prayed the first time. The Word of God in the
human spirit establishes faith. The doubting that voids faith is that which
comes from the human spirit, not the human mind.
To doubt in your heart, your inner
man or spirit means to be double-minded, to waver, to withdraw alternately from
your deep convictions, or to stagger at God’s unshakeable and unwavering Word.
The solution for doubt in your heart is Strong
Faith, one that mixes faith with works and gives glory to God. The more you
exercise or put your faith to work, the stronger it becomes.
ü You Get What You Say:
Maintain the right confession in agreement with what God’s Word says about you
or about the situation. Until you confess or say it, you can’t see or enjoy it.
Confession unbundles and gives you access to your salvation package, loaded
with prosperity, favour, divine health, peace, and what have you. Your words
are powerful; they give expression to your thoughts!
