True Faith To Receive

Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere, but they don’t take the time to build the foundation to receive.

You must build the foundation to believe – for you must believe to receive.

So many pray in unbelief.

Not even taking time to think it through, they step out glibly–motivated by the outcome they want, rather than motivated by faith. It is through faith that you receive–through faith that you believe.

“And Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water’ He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?'” Matthew 14:28-31

Faith is the substance.

Faith is trust.

A double-minded man cannot receive, for he cannot choose which to believe.

Do you see?

First, build the foundation in your heart of who I AM –

  • What I have done
  • What I will do

Believe that I AM True.

“For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” I Corinthians 3:11

This is the basis on which you believe.

Can you drink this cup?

“–This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.” Luke 22:20

These are your ‘works’ to receive– know Me!

Healing is partnership . . .

Knowing what I have done – Knowing what is yours – Knowing what I will do —

For I AM True!

“He who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.” John 3:33

Know My Word — Know Me.

Pray with confidence–

  • By faith believe
  • By faith receive

Do you see that when you doubt, you are not just doubting your healing–you’re doubting Me?

Have one mind — the mind of Christ.

Now believe!

“‘For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” I Corinthians 3:16

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 KJB

“Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13-14

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.” James 1:6-8

“–Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will be done. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:21-22

“So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.” Romans 10:17

“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. But some one will say, “You have faith and I have works,” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.” James 2:17-18

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
