Sermon Topic: Prayer and Faith – Bible Study

James 5:13 – 15 - Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another that you may be healed. If I’m going to be healed, I have to remove all things – hidden agendas.

Luke 8:43 – faith without works is dead. Mathew 8:5 – God is no respecter of person if you can believe it, you can receive it. Your faith has to be as big as your need in order to receive.

You verbalize it but you must ask for it according to faith. If you can believe it, you can have it, and you have to be persistent.

While we wait, we must discipline our speech. We take all of our prayers to God. Because of your persistent prayer someone will be healed and saved because of the righteous prayers.

God promises to answer prayer for personal needs of others.

Psalm 145:18 – Call upon him in truth. He will hear your cry and save you.

God answers prayers for healing. If he did it before he can do it again. The church has all of this untapped power. When we have the God kind of faith. You have to be willing to look crazy to the world. 

There will always be nonbelievers. God closed the door because he didn’t want any doubters; because God knows the thoughts of everyone. Jesus can’t do any miracles amidst unbelievers.

God answers prayers.

We must accept God’s grace and turn away from sin. Be true, honest, transparent and clean before God.

Stay in the word.

Spend time in the word daily.

John 4:24 – worship God in spirit and in truth. Seek the Lord early in the morning. Get up and talk to God. Make your requests last – not first.

Praise and glorify God then you remain in a state of preparedness to play. God will answer your prayer.

Be mindful that you’re waging war against the enemy when you pray.
