Faith Produces Answered Prayers

[The Unaltered Gospel]

Everyone

Have you struggled with what appears to be unanswered prayer or lack of action on God's part? I think we all have been there. Below is a prophecy from God my Pastor received about this subject. God took him to James 5:13-15 and then began to speak. I hope it blesses you as much as it did me. This will clear a lot of confusion for those who receive it.

If you‟re tired of not getting prayers answered – AND you‟re praying according to
scripture – then the variable isn‟t Me, it‟s you. Too many Christians pray in hope, but not
in faith. You must pray “in” faith; your prayers must be “of” faith. Thus, you must
develop enough faith for Me to work with to bring about answers. The prayer of „hope”
or a prayer of hesitancy availeth nothing.

If you are not doing what is necessary to develop your faith, why do you think you have
any? Agreeing with My word that it is true does not mean you have faith. If you do not
use My word as a tool to spiritually ingest faith, it is not there. If you do not pray in
tongues and allow the Holy Spirit to supernaturally work with you in developing your
faith, why would you think it is truly developed? [Romans 10:17; Jude 1:20]

Ending your prayers by saying, “In Jesus‟ Name, amen,” does not guarantee results. Yes,
you have been taught otherwise; but I say unto you, why would you think that simply
speaking the Name of My Son without the faith to back it up will get all your prayers
answered? The very fact that you have prayed in His Name so many times and not gotten
results should tell you that more is going on than what a lot of preachers have taught.

You don‟t seem to understand that I want people saved, healed and delivered far more
than you. I want your prayers answered far more than you. But the fact that so many
prayers do not produce the results of My will should tell you that something is amiss.
Since I am God and I am absolute perfection, there is nothing amiss with Me. Again, you
are the variable. Remember, there is no variableness or shadow of turning with Me and
My word never changes. [James 1:17; Psalm 119:89; Matthew 24:35]

One of the biggest problems I see in My children is that they do not understand their
authority on earth. Yes, My word does say that Satan is the god of this world. But if he
truly possessed the power many of you believe that phrase implies, then how did My Son
accomplish what He did on the earth? Satan does not rule; he merely influences and
deceives people into doing his bidding and submitting to his control. [2 Corinthians 4:3-
4]

On the other hand, My Son rules. His is the Name above all names. He is the King of
kings and the Lord of lords. All things are under His feet, whether on earth or in the
heavens – including Satan – and He demonstrated this ruling authority while on the earth.
But His position as Eternal King is now carried out through you. [Philippians 2:9-10;
Matthew 28:18; Luke 10:18-19]

If Satan had as much control in the world as some Christians seem to think, how could
any part of My Kingdom purpose be accomplished? How could My will be done on earth
as it is in Heaven? Your authority on earth has been given to you from Me, not from
Satan and not from a religious institution. If you understood more about your authority
you would understand how critical it is to develop your faith. [Matthew 16:18-19]

Your prayers should consist more of divine declarations and decrees coming from lips of
royalty and hearts of faith rather than being pleas for help like someone at the mercy of
an unjust judge. When is the last time you prayed as though YOU were in charge with all
of Heaven‟s glory standing behind you in support?

I see so many of My children praying out of confusion, indecision and uncertainty. You
should be praying like you know what is going to happen. If you follow the pattern of
how I have spoken in My word and how My Son prayed, you will find that your prayers
will not be lengthy and drawn out. When you pray in faith according to both My word
and My promises, you will not feel the need to pray “asking-prayers” for an extended
time on a matter. Consider how My Son prayed for people while He was on the cross:
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” It was short and simple, but He
believed I would answer. Most of My children pray not so much out of unbelief about
who I am but out of a lack of faith and knowledge concerning My word and My
promises.

Faith is not an emotion of the soul; faith is a part of your spiritual constitution. Think of
faith as the life blood of your spirit. Think of faith as a living part of who you are. Think
of faith as spiritual health. Think of faith as the spiritual path into the presence and power
of the Divine Authority of the universe. The more your faith is developed, the more I can
– AND WILL – move through you. My manifested will for your life – which includes
answered prayers – can only be hindered by your own lack of faith to receive what I want
for you in the “now” of every moment.

Think about it: your salvation, your authority, glory, power and anointing all come from
Me. Even the word – the Holy Scriptures – which causes faith to come and the prayer
language of tongues which builds you up on your most holy faith both come from Me.
This is why you can rest assured that I WILL move through your faith. Did I not say in
My word that without faith it is impossible to please Me? [Hebrews 11:6]

And now I want you to think intently on this: I am currently moving through all the faith
you have. I am moving through and answering all of your prayers according to My word,
My will and your faith. I am not holding back on anything. Why would I not want healed
every person for whom you pray? Why would I not want people delivered the moment
you pray?

Hear Me now: you have more authority on earth than Satan has now or ever has had. You
have been entrusted with Heavenly authority in an earthly realm. You are My child – do
you hear Me, you are a God-child – birthed of My spiritual loins. Divinity is not a part of
your nature, but you have been birthed of the Divine. So many of My children struggle to
believe this, often calling such a thing heresy. But the struggle comes from not truly
understanding salvation and what the born again experience has done for you.
I have decreed your position in Me and your seat of authority; it can never be taken away
from you, but you can relinquish it or not live by it. However, what you do will never
change what I have declared over you.

The more you develop your faith, the more I can work through you and the more prayers
you will see answered. The more you develop your faith, the more you will understand
your authority. The more you develop your faith and understand your authority, the more
you will act and speak like the king and priest I‟ve made you; the more you will resemble
a child of the Ruler and Creator of all that is.
