Romans 4:16 says, “Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all.” If you are the seed of Abraham, God’s promises are sure in your life. A sure promise is one that comes to pass when you stand on it.
The WORD of God is a concrete foundation you can stand on. It undergirds all effective prayer. So make it final authority in your life. Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
Always Start at the End
Base your prayer life on what God has already said and done. God’s WORD—the sword of the Spirit—is His part of your prayer life, and it’s available to “whosoever will.” The WORD is a copy of your covenant with God, signed in Jesus’ blood between God the Father and Jesus His Son. There is no failure in either of them.
It’s easy to believe God if you know what He said. Faith comes when you know what is His will for you to have. And His will is His WORD. Find promises in The WORD that cover your area of need, and pray based on those promises. When you do that, you are starting with the answer. You are starting with the truth.
Always go to God based on the answers you find in The WORD. When you have faith in God and what He has said, faith will begin to grow up on the inside of you. Once you know what God said about something, believe you receive it. Believing is an action word, so praise and thank God for the answer.
Praying in the Name of Jesus, based on what God has said, puts you in position to receive from Him. It licenses Him to function in your life. It isn’t based on feeling. It’s based on believing what God said—believing is the key.
Remember, you have a right to pray and you have a right to believe. Jesus died for the whole world so whosoever believes can receive the victory He has paid for. God is no respecter of persons, but He does respect faith.
Learn to pray and stand on His promises for your every need. When you take God at His WORD, He will answer. V
