Hebrews 11:6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
We’re told to not just believe that God is, but to believe that He rewards us. We may have been taught we shouldn’t expect a reward for anything. If so, let God’s word speak to your heart because He has told us He will reward us, when we sincerely seek Him.
Faith is simply taking hold of God’s word, believing it and then acting on it as if it is so. When God sees us doing that then He’s pleased because we’re releasing Him to work with us and for us.
God wants us to pray bringing the scripture concerning our situation to Him. In Jeremiah 1:12 (Ampc) God says “…for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it” but He waits for us to bring it to Him in faith, and believe it for ourselves.
For example, when we’re praying for our family to be saved we can bring Acts 16:31-34 to the Lord and ask Him to do the same for us.
God doesn’t want us to struggle financially. He says He is pleased when we prosper,(Psalm 35:27) that He gives us the ability to produce wealth and be successful. (Deuteronomy 8:18 Nkjv). I didn’t say that, God did!😊
If we have sicknesses or diseases He says He is our Healer. He says by Jesus’ stripes we were and are healed, (Psalm 103:3,1 Peter 2:24. Isaiah 53:5)) So we bring those scriptures in faith to Him and believe Him to make them real in our own lives.
Whatever our problems are, if we find the scriptures that relate to them and persistently take them to God in faith, then He can reward our faith and bring them to pass. Our part is to believe His word above everything else and that He will do what He has said He will do, no matter how long it takes. Amen.
Have a blessed weekend.😊
