Shalom! Many Christians have never attempted to use their faith to get things from God and their experience has been like James described in his epistle, "... ye have not, because ye ask not" (James 4:2). In many cases, to be candid, many prayers have been made, but they were not made with faith. So no result has been seen. It's just as if they have never prayed.
Have you ever attempted to pray in faith for anything or have you been held back by fear that it may not work for you? Let me inform you, Satan does not want you to do it - so you have an artificial fear. It's not real because you actually believe God's Word. What you now need to do is take a bold attempt to see God's Word work for you. Now DO IT! Act on Mark 11: 24 for the things you desire now and watch God deliver them to you. If you don't attempt it, no spiritual development will do IT FOR YOU.
Remember again Peter's story:
Matthew 14: 25-28
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
God's obligation to confirm His Word starts when He gives the Word. Jesus gave the Word to Peter and he acted on it. The result was that Peter walked on water. God's Word is good. The Psalmist says about God, "... thou hast magnified thy word above all thine names" (Psalms 138: 2). What God promised matter to Him a great deal. He's faithful to His promises. Trust Him and His Word. It will be well with you. God bless.
