When believers entangle themselves with worldly influences, it becomes nearly impossible to effectively travail in prayer and receive answers. A consecrated life is essential for any believer who desires to intercede powerfully.
Today, some believers have resorted to only begging God when they approach the place of prayer. Sometimes, they feel so threatened by a situation that they approach the place of prayer with so much fear and uncertainty, not sure of the outcome of their prayer.
Many believers struggle with stagnation, delay, and unfulfilled promises, wondering why their breakthrough seems elusive. The root of the problem often lies in a lack of fervent, persistent prayer.
Testimony serves as a secondary market of faith. Just as markets allow goods and services to be exchanged, testimonies enable the exchange of faith and encouragement among believers.
One of the reasons many are unable to develop their faith is because they have not trained themselves to be consistent and persistent. If your faith will produce results, it must be a persistent faith—a faith that does not give up.
It is an error to stay focused on other people’s lives so much that you fail to notice the miracle that God might be doing in your own life. This sometimes leads to being worried and disappointed.
To sacrifice means to give up something valuable and important to you. This is another manifestation of faith in a beliver, which goes against the default setting in a natural man, which is to think only of oneself.
Obedience is a crucial aspect of our walk with God, especially as it relates to faith. When God speaks, our response should be immediate and wholehearted, trusting that His commands are for our good and His glory.
As a believer, it is important to recognize that faith and worldliness can not coexist. If your faith is to withstand the trials and temptations of the enemy, you must actively resist the pull of worldly desires.
Keeping anxiety in check begins by understanding that you have a Father who makes all things work together for good, and thus, it does not matter how bad a situation may seem, He is able to breathe life into it and cause it to turn around.
