Bank Of Faith

Bank Of Faith

"Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him."
1st John 3:21-22

When you pray, are you afraid to ask God for big things? If you are, you need to check your heart to see if your faith level is where it needs to be. Just recently I counseled with a man that stated that he didn't expect God to answer his prayers, because he thought that he was asking for too much, as his business was failing, and that all the circumstances were too complicated. He had received answers from God for some little things he had asked for, but felt that God would not answer this because there were too many details that had to be worked out. In situations such as this, there is nothing that is too complicated for God to handle. It doesn't matter how many details there are, as God can handle all of these, and bring things together if it is in His will to do so. My friend's faith level had taken a nose dive, and he was not trusting and having faith that with God nothing is impossible. His bank of faith was being depleted, because he was not depositing anything in it. The way you increase your faith is to read and study God's Holy Word, and build your relationship with Him. When you begin to obey God, do His commands, and make Him number one in all that you do, your bank of faith will grow, and then when you need to make a withdrawal you have enough faith stored up that God will write a check for. You must remember that when you pray and ask God for anything, you must have enough faith to expect an answer.
