"Therefore I tell
you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
{Mark 11:24}.
Believing. That's the key to everything in the Christian life. It's the way we tap into the very power of God Himself. You might already know that, but do you know how to put it into action?
It's as simple as doing what Mark 11:24 says to do. Simply believe you receive. Say that: "I believe I receive." Something happens inside you when you say those words. I don't understand how, but it does. I don't understand how my digestive system knows what to do when I swallow something, but it does. All I have to do is take a bit of food and it goes to work. It just happens. That's the way the body is made.
In much the same way, when you feed on the promises in God's Word and 'Swallow' them into your spirit by saying, "I believe I receive," faith is released. It just happens.
When you constantly say, "I believe I receive my healing" or "I believe I received my needs met," and then quote the scriptures that back those words, faith is released. And faith brings power to meet those needs.
Say those words when you pray. Say them when you read the Bible. And be sure to say them in the face of darkness, when it looks like nothing is happening. When everything looks the worst, say it the loudest. I believe I receive!
Activate your faith today-by making those four key words the most important words in your vocabulary.
