BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE


Believe That You Receive



Mark 11:24

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].



  1. Every born again believer must believe before he receive from God. Not doubting or hoping you hit the lottery.  But asking in faith trusting God at His word that He will do exactly what His word says. So when we as believers come to God it must be in faith.


    1. Hebrews 11:6                                                                                                                  But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him.
    2. James 1:6                                                                                                                                                                             Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.


  1. Faith has to be in your heart and mouth. To many believers think they can say one thing and believe something else.  Your words are in agreement with God or His (our) enemy at all times. (Mat 18:19 That if two of you shall agree). Agreement is powerful. So your heart and mouth has to say the same thing to see Gods promises come to pass in your life.  To be born again your heart and mouth (confession) had to be in agreement.


    1. Romans 10:8- 10 But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
    2. This is the foundation of receiving from God.  Everything else is built on this foundation that was laid.

  1. But didn’t Jesus pray if thou be willing, as if He didn’t know God’s will?                              
            Luke 22:42
      "Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."


    1. Jesus knew it was the Father's will for Him to be made an offering for the sins of the world. He had prophesied His death and resurrection many times before. However He being human and aware of the suffering He would soon go through, Jesus was requesting God to accomplish His will some other way, but at the same time affirming His commitment to do His Father's will and not His own.

      He was not at a loss to know God's will and therefore, left this time of prayer trusting that whatever the Father deemed best for Him would happen.

      He knew when He began praying what the Father's will was and He knew at the close of His prayer, that God's will could not be accomplished any other way.


    1. John 6:39 [AMP]                                                                                                            And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 


James 1:5 [NKJV]
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.


     Eph. 5:17 [NKJV]
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
