From Bill—Trait number 3 for effective prayer is TO BELIEVE. The setting once again is Mark 11 v 23 “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up & thrown into the sea,’ & has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him”. — The point is clear, BELIEVE & do not doubt that great things can be done. Have faith in the power, goodness, & wisdom of God. How much faith do you need? —Matthew 14 says Peter walked on the water for a while. How much faith did he have? MT 14:”31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand & caught him, & said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” MT 17:20 says “So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ & it will move; & nothing will be impossible for you.” Mark 9:24 says “Immediately the father of the child cried out & said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” —Faith is the empty hand that receives power from God. SO BELIEVE. — Love Mel
