Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11.24

Prayer is a moment of intimate communion with God and of solutions to all of our problems.   It happens when our soul gets into touch with the Most High.  During this encounter we express our acknowledgement of God and we tell Him how much we love Him and in spirit of faith we expose our questions and confess that we believe in His commandments. However, after having said all this, if we do not act as affirmed, nothing will happen. 

Sometimes we do not reach a full intimacy with the eternal and only God because of what goes on in our mind.  Because we are more connected to the problems than the Bible, we have difficulty in feeling we are connected to the Father.  So everything we ask for will not be more than mere words that do not bring the quality of having faith.  We should pray like Jesus prayed: with confidence.  But for this to happen we must act in faith, without any doubt (Matthew 21:21, 22)

As we feel that we are in the presence of the Lord, we can be certain that nothing, absolutely nothing, will separate us from Him.  This is the moment when we have to determine that the divine promise is kept.  This way we will inwardly feel in us that our prayers have been heard.  The faith we receive as we meditate on the Scriptures give us the certainty there is not the least possibility of not being answered, once we know the 

Word of God will never fail. 

As you perceive that the Lord paid attention to what you requested, believe that your request will happen for nothing will stop Him from acting on it (Isaiah 43:13)   As you follow the rules set forth in Mark, chapter 11, verses 22 and 23 you will feel that you have fulfilled all biblical demands which by the way is very simple and easy to be carried out.  The moment our faith is given to us, the Almighty’s part in the healing process, or in any other work, is finished.  

You can pray in the right manner but unless you believe your prayers were heard, the divine power cannot intervene to give you victory, because God’s angels obey only His Word.  Proceeding in accordance to the Gospel, gives voice to the writing.  This is what Jesus did as He interceded for people and declared them to be healed.  He knows it to be impossible for the heavenly power not to operate in His favor, as long as he moved in the right manner.

Those that complete all the steps in a well succeeded prayer, but don’t believe they were heard, certainly will not have their petition granted.  It is crucial to keep on believing because if not, we will be like Peter in the Sea of Galilee when he walked on water.  He didn’t start to sink because of the tormented waves, because even during the greatest calm this would be impossible; he sank because he doubted his faith (Matthew 14:28-31)

Believing is proof that you are not dealing with someone irresponsible but yes with a loving Being, who takes pleasure in conceding everything that His children request.  There are no limits to prayers made in the Name of Jesus.  So when you plea don’t forget to ask for everything you need, since the One who answers one please can answer all.  After all, He is our God and Father.

In Christ, with love,
