PRAY With Results (pt3)
Dr. Stephen Marshall
Effective prayer requires understanding the principle of elimination - what you're willing to let go of determines what you can receive. Faith is the key that authorizes God's power in our lives, transforming hope into transactional prayer that places orders with Heaven.
Many prayers go unanswered because we don't always know what's truly good for us, and we lack the faith that gives God's goodness access to our lives. God shows no partiality, but faith makes the difference between experiencing His promises and missing them. To eliminate barriers to faith, we must renew our minds with God's word, engage in spiritual warfare against strongholds of doubt, and use tools like fasting to focus our spirits on God.
