Foundation Five: BELIEF

God has the ability to do all things and will in fact grant the desires of your heart, the question is do you believe Him? Doubt and unbelief will limit His ability to help you. The only way you can be established is if you believe only what God has said about you, Isaiah 7:9. Anything you believe is possible whether it is good or evil. The power of Sonship begins with believing that the name of Jesus is above every other name.
Prayer can be answered and yet the manifestation of the answer is not seen immediately. The manifestation of the answer to your prayer is in your believing. Matthew 21:22- And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Receiving is a product of believing; you receive when you believe. Belief is not an idea that you possess, it is an idea that possesses you. Believing God's word with all your heart is what leads to faith. One practical show of belief is standing for what you have accepted even in the face of contradiction. That is how God wants your belief system to be.
You cannot adequately appreciate God for that which He has done if you do not believe that He has done all that you require from Him. Your belief in God therefore should not be that of the future expectation, but acknowledge that He has done it. You must not spend too much time praying to God to do something for you; know when to shift gear from making requests to thanksgiving, Colossian 4:2. The efficacy of your prayer springs from your belief in the completeness of the works of the cross.
 Prayer does not bring result until you believe. When you believe God's word, the saving power of God will be available to you, Romans 1:16. Those that believe that it is settled do not have to spend so much time praying and begging God to do something, all they need do is make a pronouncement and they receive their desired miracle.
There is nothing that can stop the ability of God; He is too capable to be disabled. No mountain, or enemy or even angel can hinder your miracle, only your belief can. Prayer, fasting and laying on of hands will not establish you until you believe. If your belief is wrong, you will keep praying and still not see any solution. Don't observe or remain double minded, believe and receive what God has in store for you.
