Receive When You Believe

JAN 20, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Mark 11:24, NIV

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

Today’s Word

We all have things we’re believing for—that one day we’re going to get well, one day we’re going to break an addiction, or one day we’re going to meet the right person. We prayed, and we’re standing in faith, waiting for it to happen. But Jesus gives us an important principle about prayer: “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” He didn’t say, “Believe that it’s going to happen in a week or a month.” He says to believe that right when you prayed, you received; that things changed in your favor and God set the miracle into motion. 

If you’re facing an illness, that means saying, “God, I’m asking You to heal my body, and I receive my healing right now.” How can you believe that you’re healed when you don’t feel any different? This is what faith is all about. When there’s no evidence, when the medical report hasn’t improved, when there’s no sign of things getting better, your report is: “I am healed. I am healthy.”

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for all the promises You’ve given to me in Your Word. Thank You that I don’t have to worry about if or how You’re going to make them happen when I don’t see things changing. I will believe and receive first and declare that answers are on the way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
