Message

When you make a claim in a law court, you will be asked to provide an evidence to show that what you are saying is true. The purpose of the evidence is to validate your claim and show everyone that you are sure of what you are saying. If you have evidence, you will confidently present it to support your claim. If you, however, do not have any evidence, it will be hard to have that kind of confidence. In other words, an evidence gives the claimant confidence.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.Hebrews 11:1

The above passage says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. If your faith is really an evidence, you will be confident about your claims concerning God's word and the things that you pray about, just like the claimant in the example I shared above. You will not pray for something today and speak in doubt about the same thing tomorrow.

When you pray, you must believe with all your heart that what you have prayed for is already settled (Mark 11:24). It is only then that you can see your prayers answered. Doubt must not be allowed in your heart at all. A little doubt will contaminate your faith and may hinder you from getting what you are praying for. Matthew 21:21 says:

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

Beware, however, because the devil will try to send fear into your heart. He will give you every reason for your miracle not to come, but you must attack him with the word of God. Romans 10:17 says: "... faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.'" Whenever doubtful thoughts come, recite the word of God that counters it over and over again until the word drowns the doubts. In Joshua 1:8, the Bible says that to have good success, the word of God must never depart from your mouth. Note that it did not say from your heart but from your mouth.

Beloved, if you desire anything in your life, pray about it in faith and declare God's word concerning it without any doubts.

When We Walk With The Lord

Key Point:
Never ever allow doubt into your heart because there is nothing impossible with God.

King James Version

James 1:6-8

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. [7] For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. [8] A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
RCCG Hymn

When we walk with the Lord

  1. When we walk with the Lord, In the light of His word,
    What a glory He sheds on our way!
    While we do His good will
    He abides with us still.
    And with all who will trust and obey.

  2. Trust and obey!
    For there's no other way
    To be happy in Jesus,
    But to trust and obey.


  3. Not a shadow can rise.
    Not a cloud in the skies.
    But His smile quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt nor a fear,
    Not a sigh nor a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.
  4. Not a burden we bear.
    Not a sorrow we share
    But our toil He doth richly repay;
    Not a grief nor a loss,
    Not a frown nor a cross.
    But is blest if we trust and obey
  5. But we never can prove
    The delights of His love,
    Until all on the altar we lay.
    For the favour He shows
    And the joy He bestows
    Are for them who will trust and obey.
  6. Then in fellowship sweet
    We will sit at His feet.
    Or we'll walk by His side in the way.
    What He says we will do,
    Where He sends we will go.
    Never fear, only trust and obey.
