You gotta have faith!

This is where it begins! Go into prayer with an open heart. Have a heart of expectation- that God will work on your behalf and fulfill your needs. As long as your prayers don’t go against His word or will, God will work on your behalf. Ever heard of supernatural door openings?! God works where there is faith!

Remember when Jesus went back to His hometown? He couldn’t perform any miracles there, although he had been performing miracles all across the countryside and in villages. It was because people in his hometown lacked faith, so in order for God to move on your behalf, you first have to have faith. You must believe that God is capable of doing anything because He is! It doesn’t matter how it looks with the natural eye, we’re dealing with a supernatural God!

Mark 6: 1-6

Let go of unforgiveness.

Unforgiveness can prevent faith from working! Yes...it’s true! God may not hear your prayers if you have an unforgiving heart. Forgive those who have wronged you. This isn’t saying that what they did to you was right. God said vengeance is His. Additionally, God may not forgive your sins if you don’t forgive others.

Mark 11: 25

Fast.

Fasting cleanses the body and the soul and establishes a deeper connection with God. It shows discipline! Fasting, coupled with prayer, enhances the intensity of your prayers.

Ezra 8: 23

Show gratitude.

God says to have a joyful attitude in all things! Thank God for the small things. It shows Him that if He can trust you with little, He can trust you with much!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Luke 16:10

Show humility.

God resists the proud, so go to God with a humble heart. You don’t have to pretend with God. Remember, He knows your story.

James 4: 6

Repent.

God ask that we repent of our sins. Repenting means recognizing that you’ve sinned and asking God for forgiveness.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Delight in the Lord!

God says to delight in Him and He’ll give you the desires of your heart! Make time for Him. Put Him first in everything you do and the rest will follow. Read His word and praise Him!

Psalm 37:4-5
