Think about this for a moment. Prayer
does not make faith work.
Faith
makes prayer work. Let's once again
look at the flagship scripture on faith
in Mark 11:22-25:
22 AND JESUS ANSWERING SAITH
UNTO THEM, HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
23 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.
24 THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU,
WHAT THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE,
WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YE
RECEIVE THEM, AND YE SHALL HAVE
THEM.
25 AND WHEN YE STAND PRAYING,
FORGIVE, IF YE HAVE OUGHT
AGAINST ANY: THAT YOUR FATHER
ALSO WHICH IS IN HEAVEN MAY
FORGIVE YOU YOUR TRESPASSES.
Read verse 24 again in the Amplified
Bible, Classic Edition: "For this reason I
am telling you, whatever you ask for in
prayer, believe (trust and be
confident) that it is granted to you,
and you will [get it]."
Faith, then, will
work without praying, but just by
"saying
it," or speaking faith words.
Now look at verse 23 again: "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." "…Shall
believe
that those things which he
says shall
come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he says." Then verse 24
again: "Therefore I say unto you, What
things soever ye desire,
when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye
shall have them." In verse 23, faith-
words work. Verse 24 says whatever
things you desire
when you pray….
Therefore,
faith-filled words are the
absolute keys to receiving from the
Father. What else did the Master say
about prayer? Remember now, that
John 13-17 is what some have called
the "Last Supper." It is written in John
13:1-3, AMPC:
