“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have receive it, and it will be yours.”(Mark 11:24) One of my Christian friend share me this passage when I was confused to continue with my studies while working or make a venture across the miles without anything. She said, “have a faith-sized prayer.” What is a faith-sized prayer? It is a request which is just the right believing size for your faith. It is a request for a particular situation in which you pray for a special person or thing, and ask only, for that which you can really believe God will do, in a given time limit. This does not limit what God can do, but it honestly recognize the size of your faith and there is every reason to believe that you will be asking for larger thing as your faith grows. The first thing the Lord tells us, is to have faith in the One who is able to answer, no matter what mountain stands in our way, if we ask and believe it will be moved, it will be done. To ask and believe is the opposite of wondering in your heart if you will receive it. That negative picture in your mind of “not receiving” what you asked for is doubt, and doubt will surely keep your prayer from being answered. But God has given us assurance not just a mere positive use of that imagination, we can picture ourselves receiving the answer. This is the way to believe in one’s heart, and to believe that what one has asked for, he will receive. Jesus repeats this promise again “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have receive it, and it will be yours.”(Mark 11:24) The wonderfully exciting thing about faith-sized request is when faith rejoices and cries, “It shall be done”. That is the moment when doubt disappears. That is the moment the whole mountain moves by God’s grace and power. Do you have a Faith-sized prayer? Ask, Believe, and Claim!

I came to know Him and accepted Him as my only Lord and Saviour, Dec. 29, 1977)
