Believe Big

 What if every answer to prayer depended on how much we believed God would answer?

The Bible tells us of a Centurion who asked Jesus to heal his servant.  He was making a request to Jesus on behalf of someone else.

We do that too.  Every time we lift someone up in prayer, we are going to God on behalf of that person.

Matthew 8:13 says:  And Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way; and as thou has believed, so be it done unto thee.  And his servant was healed the selfsame hour.

The Centurion believed his servant would be healed, and guess what?  He was!  But what if the Centurion hadn't believed that his servant would be fully healed?  Do you think he would have been fully healed?  Partially healed?  Made me think.  Am I praying for others believing  that God will answer my prayer to it's fullest?

Jesus said in Mark 11:24:  Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Charles Spurgeon once said, "If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you.  If you do not expect, you will not have.  God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith."

We have a Big God.....so Believe Big!

But that's just me!
