PRAY EFFECTIVELY

“For assuredly, I say to you whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”—Mark 11:23

 

It is the prayer of faith based upon God’s Word that will bring results in your life, because the Word of God is the will of God.  The only way that we can get to the point in our lives to pray the Word of God is to understand that God does nothing outside of His Word.  You see God and His Word are One.  To establish the integrity of God’s Word in your heart, you must believe that God said what he meant and meant what He said.  As your faith and confidence in the scripture Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away,” becomes absorbed into your very being, then doubt and unbelief will have no place to call home. 

 

Your spiritual maturity level has risen to the point where you believe God’s Word more than you believe the news, symptoms in your body, the educational process of the world, what any government says, and all the world’s facts and figures.  You believe that God’s Word is the final authority in the earth.  When it is settle in your heart and mind that God’s Word is true and it is final authority, it is not hard to pray, according to the will of God and for your prayers to be effective.  

 

Words are keys that unlock the powers of God’s universe.  When the words we speak are in line with His Word, His power is released.  Jesus said, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7). On the other hand, if we agree with our enemy, Satan, and speak forth his thoughts of doubt, we unleash his power, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21). 

 

The Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 1:12 what God thinks about His Word, “I will hasten my word to perform it.”  God is committed to fulfill what He has already promised.  If He has promised to do something, then He is looking for someone who will believe His Word so He can manifest it.

 

Believing His Word + Speaking His Word = Effective mountain moving Prayer!

 

Prayer—Father I thank You that You are committed to fulfilling what you have already promised.  Today I purpose in my heart to speak Your Word in faith to see mountains removed when I pray, in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
