TAKE IT!

MARK 11:24

24 Therefore, I exhort you, All things whatever you pray for and ask, have faith that you have taken hold, and it shall be for you.

So, this verse is saying to us that when we pray, we are to believe we take what we are asking for, and then we will have those things.

How can we do that?

We must take them by faith. How do we "take them by faith?"

We release words of faith based on what God has said in His Word, the Bible.

We are not talking about forcing God to do something,but to receive (or take) what is already offered.

How can you "believe you have received" something before you see it? Easy! You just need credible evidence.

If someone you trusted told you they had deposited money in your bank account, you would not need to physically go to the bank and see the cash before rejoicing.Well, God -- who cannot lie -- has told us many things in HisWord.

When we pray in line with what God's Word already says is ours, which is our evidence on which we can base our belief. When God says it -- we can believe it.

So that is our evidence by which we can "believe we receive" something when we pray.

So, by our faith, we "take it."(We are not taking it from God. He has already given it to us.)

SAY THIS: When I pray I am supposed to "take" the answer by faith.
