The Prayer of Faith


Listen Later

Ephesians 6:18-20 NKJV

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Here are the Rules to the “Prayer of Faith.”

1. YOU MUST KNOW THE WILL OF GOD

1 John 5:14–15 NKJV

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Romans 10:8–10 NKJV

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:17 NKJV

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

2. RECEIVE WHEN YOU PRAY

Mark 11:24 (KJV)

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” The believing comes before the having. You don’t pray and then hope or beg—you pray, believe you’ve got it, and thank God as if it’s already yours. Faith sees the answer in the spirit realm before it appears in the natural.

3. NO DOUBT

Matthew 14:28–31 NKJV

And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

4. THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH

True faith acts like it already has the answer. after believing you receive, thank God continually and act accordingly.

Hebrews 10:23 KJV

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised

4. THIS PRAYER IS FOR YOU

Mark 11:24 NKJV

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Do you see the focus? It is on you.
