"You can pray for anything, and IF YOU HAVE FAITH, you will receive it!"
There is a lot of controversy about those who "name it and claim it". Many question whether you will receive, if you believe. So many people have questioned why their prayers have not been answered. If a believer asks for something in prayer, with great faith and assurance, shouldn't it be answered? Why are our prayers not answered? If we have a firm and relying trust and faith in God, and we have no doubt, shouldn't all of our prayers be realized? Could we actually move a mountain and throw it into the sea? The One Truth Today tells us that we can pray for anything, and IF YOU HAVE FAITH, you will receive it! Do you believe your prayers will be answered?
It is not sufficient to believe eight out of the ten commandments. You can not just pick and choose your way through the Word of God. It will not matter whether you believe what the Lord tells you, His Word will still be the Truth. Either you believe that the Bible is the infallible Truth or you do not. Just as a surgeon can not be "partially sterile" in an operation, and a woman can not be "a little bit pregnant", you can not say you have a little faith, or some faith and count that as "IF YOU HAVE FAITH"! What the Lord is trying to teach us here is that can not be a partial believer, or believe a little bit, you have to have 100% true and abiding faith, and no doubt in God! IF YOU HAVE FAITH, of that kind, you can ask for anything and you will receive it. Is it possible for a man to have that kind of faith? Yes we can!
There is another consideration that must be understood to allow us to comprehend this concept. To receive the answer to your prayers you must be a believer who has faith and is a child of God. You have to understand that the answer to your prayers may be immediate, or it may be delayed or the answer may be NO! A large component is whether or not it is in the will of God. Another important concept is that some prayers are not answered until we pass from this life to our eternal home in Heaven. "The blind will see, the lame will walk the dumb will speak", can occur on earth under the appropriate circumstances, but will definitely occur when as we die to this life we are given new life, in perfection and Heaven. Prayers are answered in God's will and in God's timing, but they will be answered. Pray that you will be in God's will.
Ask with faith for anything, knowing that you have complete faith in God and that He will answer your prayers, in His timing. You can pray for anything, IF YOU HAVE FAITH, you will receive it!
