As believers in Christ, our life is a life of faith. "Faith" is one of the outstanding virtues that distinguish us from the unbeliever. For it's by faith that we accepted God's gracious salvation through Christ, thereby receiving eternal life (the God-kind of life) into our spirits. Our walk with God is a walk of faith.
In Romans 1:16-17, Apostle Paul stated, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth...For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." This scripture thus confirms faith as a great underlying factor at the core of our existence as believers. "But without faith it is impossible to please him..."(Hebrews11:6)
In our prayer life, the principle of faith holds sway in a significant context. The prayer of faith is one among the different kinds of prayer, and it has its peculiar rules and requirements. This prayer involves making a request to God and speaking to circumstances in order to make them conform to our desires, without doubts in our hearts.
In Mark 11:22, Jesus counselled His disciples to '...HAVE FAITH IN GOD." But it's interesting to know that the literal translation of His statement actually reads, "HAVE THE FAITH OF GOD." In other words, have the God-kind of faith.
If you're a pastor, for example, and you wish to double the membership size of your church, you've got to know the exact number of people you have in church presently. So if you've got a fifty-member congregation at the moment, it means you're expecting to have a hundred members at a set time. This is what it means to be specific! Or perhaps, you want an increase in your finances. Then you should ask such questions like: What is my average annual income currently? How much more do I want to receive in the coming year?
Specificity is an essential principle if you must get effective results through the prayer of faith. Remember, Jesus said, "whosoever shall say unto this mountain." That means you are not going to be talking about the mountain or telling God to do something about the mountain. You're to address the mountain and tell it what to do; the content of your prayer must be directed towards your specific area of need, otherwise you may not get the desired outcome.
Now, pray about that specific desire in your heart and talk to it. You will surely come out with a testimony. Also feel free to come back to this post to drop your testimony in the comment box below likewise your question.
