Happy New Year to you my dear friends. I pray that you will experience the very best of both worlds, heaven and earth, in this year 2013 in the name of Jesus!
The teaching I have for you today is significant and important. You need to pay a close attention to it. It's a practical way towards enjoying the best this year in your life. So let's get into it right away:
The Bible says, "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:22-24).
What Jesus said here in this passage clearly shows me that God has placed no limit to what we can ask and believe Him for, both spiritually, materially and physically.
Now a lot of people believe differently. Please understand that to take a stand on a word like this, it has to be taken alone with the boldness of faith. Most people have been taught that God will only do what is in His will for us and not what we want for ourselves. But this is erroneous!
Look at what Jesus clearly said in the 24th verse, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." In other words 'Anything you really want to have from God is possible by praying in faith!' You need to get to the place where you're well convinced that Jesus actually meant exactly what He said in this Word. As long as you are doubtful of it, it won't work for you. You have to be fully persuaded about it. Every iota of doubt must be eliminated from your heart. Please go over every word spoken by the Lord in our text carefully and closely untill you are fully convinced. Don't rush it.
Here's a fact of life: We all have needs and wants. God knows that we have them and He has made provisions to have these things met. We have detailed information about certain needs having been provided for by the Almighty God for us in the Bible, and we have other provisions in His Word that gives us the means by which our wants and desires could be met through the avenue of faith.
These and several ones are going to be treated in this series. Just make sure that you do not miss anyone. Till next update, God bless you.
