We need to ask ourselves...Do we really know how faithful God is to our lives? Do we really understand how real He really is? We can all say yes, but do we believe it? This is a problem facing the church today, is we say we believe but we have a hard time walking it out. Romans 12:3 NASB Says we all have been given the same measure of . Jesus even gave the disciples who were growing in their faith and belief about the size of faith it needs to move a mountain. Mathew 17:20 NASB We must exercise our faith, or we get pushed around. If we exercise our faith, and see it in action, we become stronger in that area. Romans 10:17 NASB grows by hearing the word of God, and seeing it in action by stepping out, and participating (helping others). Faith operates in love, humility, and not in arrogance and pride. Mark 11:23-24 NASB We need to pray and ask. We can’t assume, but we need to come before God and ask Him. Many times we plead with God, when all He is doing is waiting for us to come and ask for Him to move on our behalf, to answer the desires of our hearts (as long as they are within His will), and then we need to believe and not doubt, and again, we need to believe we have already received it. Mark 11:25-26 NASB That word stand in the Greek does mean to stand, but it also means to preserve or to stand fast. That means you aren’t moving, you aren’t backing down, but you are standing firm. is standing firm, it isn’t being pushed around, to giving up when the enemy comes, but it is saying I am not moving from here until I get. That is faith, it is saying nothing is going to push me around, but I am going to believe until I receive, because I have asked for it, I believe it and the enemy is going to push me off this faith walk. Sometimes, we haven’t seen the answers to our prayers because we , but most cases it is because we are hindering our prayers by not others. Why should we receive from God when we are not releasing people and giving them what they need and that is our forgiveness? That is what God is saying is why should I do this for you because remember this sin, that sin, and this issue and that issue. Why should I forgive you of all that you have done and bless you when you will not even release the person who spoke ill against you and give them the freedom they need. in unforgiveness is your prayers, your miracle, your breakthrough, and your turnaround from being answered, but is also preenting others from God.
