Youve got to understand that Christian concept of believing is different from the unbelievers idea of believing. Anybody can believe a thing; the Bible says, Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe,and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? (James 2:19-20). You can see that even the demons believe,but what distinguished your believing as a child of God is your works And this is the type of believing Jesus was referring to in Mark 11:23-24-the believing that acts and takes possession.Therefore I say unto you,What things soever ye desire,when ye pray,believethat ye receive them,and ye shall have them(Mark 11:24). Notice Jesus didnt say,When you pray,wait until you get your request before you believe. Rather,he told us to believe that we receive right at the point of praying,and we would have our request. This is faith! Faith means I have it,though I may not see it with my physical eyes now. So acts as such. GOD BLESS YOU.
