Prayer of Faith

Prayer of Faith

Hope this finds you all truly blessed.

The subject I have been talking about has been on the different types of prayers.  We have discussed Prayer of Agreement and Prayer of Petition.  Today I will be speaking about Prayer of Faith.

The prayer of faith is always based on the Word of God.  Nothing can be accomplished without faith.  There is no need to pray if you don't believe that God will hear you.  He is able and he will perform it.  You don't have to add "if it be your will" because you know according to his Word it is his will.  To pray this type of prayer you must know what the will of God is - that means to search the Word of God to see what he says about the situation.

To understand the prayer of faith, we should first know what faith is and where it comes from.



Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Now My Faith Is"  you must take the word of God and make it personal.  Your faith causes you to receive the things of God, it is making available to you the promises of God. 

Mark 11:22-23

Have faith in God, Jesus answered.  Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

Below is a great example of a prayer of faith.
James 5:13-17
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.


God Bless
