September 1, 2011 ~ Believe and Receive

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours"

Mark 11:24

TODAY'S WORD:

Has God spoken things to your heart that haven't come to pass yet? Sometimes when we are believing for things, it's easy to let circumstances and the pressures of life drag us down. But when you make the choice to receive your promise and start to picture it in your mind's eye and declare it by faith, then you start to become stronger. You begin to feel more confident. You begin to feel more settled on the inside. You begin to have joy and peace because you know God is working behind the scenes on your behalf.

What are you believing for God to do in your life today? Can you see it in your mind's eye? Can you see yourself healed? Can you see yourself paying off that last debt? Can you see yourself at your ideal weight? Can you see yourself sharing the gospel with a family member or coworker?

Selah people' and friends ask the Lord to give you a picture of what He sees when He looks at you. As you open your heart and allow God's thoughts to become your thoughts and receive His promises by faith, just like it says in the above verse — whatever you ask for in prayer will be yours!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to serve You. Thank You for the gift of faith. Help me to hold fast to Your promises today. I choose to set my focus on You. Give me strength to stand knowing that You will complete what You started in my life! In Jesus' Name. Amen."


In Christ service,

Patrick
