Prayer of Faith

I was eager to know how to pray effectively because I believed my prayer life wasn't strong enough. Sometimes we pray, but we don't get what we prayed for. What could be the problem?

Below, I summarize what I read in a very inspiring book about How to Pray Effectively. The title of the book is How to Pray Effectively by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

In the first chapter of the book, Pastor Chris talks about the Prayer of Faith.

PRAYER OF FAITH  (Mark 11-22-24)

When we pray by faith, we believe that what we have prayed for we will have them.
We need to have the faith that acts and takes possession.
Faith means " I have it, though I may not see it with my physical eyes now".
We need to accept that something exists and act as such.


PRINCIPLES OF FAITH

1. There must be a specific desire

We can't be vague in our communication with God because Jesus said, "whosoever shall say unto this mountain". If we are praying for a job, we need to be specific on the type of job.

2. See the unseen

It is only when our desires are specific that we can see the unseen. This is so true!
We need to have a mental picture of whatever our desire is. The extent of a vision is the boundary of our blessing. We see the physically non-existent as though they already existed.

3. Use your evidence

Hebrews 11: 1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

4. Don't doubt after praying

Doubt makes us keep asking the same things over and over again for fear of not being heard the first time. For each time we repeat our selves, we invalidate our previous request.

So let us receive when we pray the prayer of FAITH
