hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Faith comes from believing the promise of God. If you don't know what God said about something, you don't have any basis for faith. It's your responsibility to go to the Word and find out what He said. Proverbs 4:20-22 says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." Standing on the Word makes God's power available to you. Agree With God's Word God has given us His Word to teach us about Himself, to teach us how He thinks and what His will is, so we can learn to agree with Him. We will have success in whatever areas we learn to agree with God, both in our words and our actions. He told Joshua, "is book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success" ( Joshua 1:8). Once you find the will of God in a situation, you then know how to pray. Romans 10:8 says, "But what saith it? e word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith." If you need a mountain moved out of your life, it requires believing God with your heart and speaking it out your mouth. e spirit of faith says what the Word says (2 Corinthians 4:13). Faith makes a choice. en it stands on that decision, based on the Word, until the manifestation comes. But when you say, "If it's Your will," you have made no choice. Choose to believe God's Word and speak the end result you desire—the promise of God for your life. When you find out God's will and get in agreement with it, you can pray in faith. Faith will reach out and grab hold of the Anointing of God to change whatever needs to be changed in your life. operated in the earth by the Word. He defeated the works of the devil with "It is written." We are to do the same. Base Your Faith on the Word If you try to receive from God without planting the seed of the Word (Luke 8:11), it's difficult. You're like the farmer who sits on the porch and says, "I believe in crops, but I'm not going to plant any seed this year. I'll just believe, and if it's God's will, my crop will come up." at farmer will never see his crop. Faith is a seed. If you don't plant it, it won't grow. And praying, "If it be y will" won't produce a harvest in areas where the Word of God tells you what His will is. "If it be y will" is a prayer of dedication. It is for situations in which you don't know God's will. When something is not written in the Word, then you can pray a prayer like, "Lord, if it's Your will, I'll go to Africa." But it is not a prayer that will change things. Faith is what changes things in the physical realm. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." It takes faith to get substance. According to Romans 10:17, "Faith cometh by "Once you find the will of God in a situation, you then know how to pray." 3 0 : B V O V PRAYING, 'IF IT BE THY WILL' WON'T PRODUCE A HARVEST IN AREAS WHERE THE WORD OF GOD TELLS YOU WHAT HIS WILL IS.
