What It Means to Have Faith in God in Prayer
"In Mark 11:22-24 Jesus said, “Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, everything you pray and ask for — believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” This passage speaks to an uncommon faith that leads to great prayer. I have often wrestled with these verses, as it challenges my own weakness in prayer. What does it mean to have faith in God in prayer as Jesus speaks of here? Today’s episode is a recent sermon that I preached that attempts to answer this question. I explain what faith in prayer does not mean and how verses such as these have been misused by false teachers. After we look at the negative examples, I defined what it means to have faith in God in prayer. I also share how you can grow in your faith in prayer. My study and preparation for this message have been incredibly beneficial to my prayer life and I hope it is to yours as well." from video introduction
