“Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him.

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you.” (Quotation – NASB version, Mark 11:23-24)

Are you feeling hopeless – give up everything?
Discouraged to the point of your soul being so despair,
Discontented that life is a struggle?

As a believer in Christ we have the answer – the key to our present situations, that is – Faith and hope in God. Not in knowledge of it but applying that truth in our predicaments.
Focus on the bigger picture – God is in control, not our problems.

Life is not a ‘bed of roses’ but a journey. Along the way we may meet with many challenges, ‘storms’. Don’t allow these deter you elsewhere – as believers we press on with God’s help and strength.

We seek His face in prayer and persists in it until the answers come – God will provide a way out of it. Follow the directions He is leading you – be steadfast, unmovable in God’s promises. What He says He will do.

Don’t blame God for your problems but claim that abundant life. (The thief [devil] comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. John 10:10 – NASB version)

Prayer Guide:

Dear Lord,

I thank you that I can call upon You anytime. (share your problems with God…, even though He knows all things, He wants you to tell him).
As the problem at hand is bugging and overwhelming me, help me dear Lord to overcome it with Your help. Guide me out of it.

In Jesus name, I declare that Your word is truth and life – remove this problem which seems as huge as the mountain.

I claim your wisdom and make the right choices in the course of life and I believe this problem is removed by Your mighty power. I release my problems into Your hands and also cease striving to find alternative ways of resolving it other than Your way.

You are my strength and shield – help me never doubt Your word or promises.

Thank you dear Lord.

In Jesus name, name above all names I pray, Amen.

How to pray for Healing

Power of prayer

Here are some guidelines as to how to pray using God’s Words.

a. The Principle of Believing and calling forth of things that are not yet manifest… Mark 11:23-24.
God has provided healing – we need to claim spiritually before it will manifest physically.

b. His Words are life and healing… calling forth healing.. every organ to function properly… enforcing your God given authority over sickness. Romans 4:17.

c. The important principle is we should declare ourselves what God’s Word reveal about ourselves no matter what the situations may be or even how we feel. Sickness do exist but we should deny its right to exist in our body. Gal 1:13, Col 1:13.

d. Are your words giving instruction to your body? In other words telling your body what to do. Commanding your body to function according to God’s words.

e. Faith is required – believing what God says He will do. Luke 17:6.. our faith may be like a mustard seed.

f. Psalm 107:20 – God sent His Word and healed them… allowing His Words to permeates in my physical body.

g. Proverbs 4:22 – Take God’s words like medicine to our body.. keep it in your heart.
Speak or declare God’s Word to your situation daily. Words prompted by faith will produced an extraordinary outcome.
Claim healing – Isa 53:5, 6… 1 Pet 2:24, Rom 6:11, 2 Cor 5:21.

h. Prov 12:28 – In my pathway is life, healing and health. Life of God flows into every part of my body.. John 6:63… 1 Pet 2:24 … restoration

i 1 Cor 6:19 -Since our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit… Declare that my body should be in perfect order. (this is applicable if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour).

j. Mark 9:23 – “All things are possible to them that believe”
Isaiah 55:11 – So shall my word be that goeth forth our of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.
Col 1:21-22.

k.The devil came to steal, kill and destroy but Christ gives us abundant life. John 10:10; John 6:63.

l. John 6:63, Rom 8:11 – God’s Word bring life
