Scripture Reading: Proverbs 18:20-21

“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.”(AMP)

5) Canceling Our Prayers Through Doubt and Unbelief: How often we pray but do not follow our prayer through to completion once we have said, “Amen.” We begin to talk doubt. We come right out and say, “Oh, I doubt if that will happen. What if God didn’t probably answer my prayer.” We pray for people who are sick and then cancel out our prayer by saying, “Oh, they’re terminal.” We pray for someone to receive the Lord and then say, “She will never change. She’s been like this all her life.” We create an atmosphere of prayer for a purpose but to later discover that after series of chain prayers, from our heart we limited God’s mighty hands of doing great wonders.

Proverbs 18:21 says; “that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” How do we speak after we pray? Do we talk hope and expectation that the answer is on the way? Are we making preparation for the answer and in what way? We must not allow doubt and unbelief to stop the prayer. We must watch over our prayers to see them through to completion.

Do everything you can once you have said, “Amen,” to praise and thank the Lord for bringing the answer. Speak with a positive attitude looking forward to the answer and not going against the coming answer. Jeremiah 1:12 says, “he watches over His Word to perform it.” When counterattacks of the enemy come to discourage us and cause us to back down, let us take authority over it in the Name of Jesus Christ. We must expect the answer to come. Scripture says; “Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.” (Galatians 6:9 AMP). As you pray, keep all hope alive and claim your miracles even when it seems nothing is forth coming! That’s faith and you will receive them. To be continue tomorrow morning by God’s Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

Prayer point: You doubt and unbelieving spirit operating in my life after series of spiritual exercise, I rebuke and cast you out of my life forever in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
