Q
and A from October 2012
Q:
I know Jesus CAN help me, but how do I know Jesus WILL help me when I pray?
A:
There is an example of this in scripture. “The father instantly cried
out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!" (Mark
9:24) How can you believe but have unbelief? I think it comes down to 2
factors:
· Believing God’s promises,
moving the head knowledge into heart knowledge—When I am actively reading God’s
Word every day, expecting to hear from Him, His promises come alive in my
heart. “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he
should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not
fulfill?”(Numbers 23:19)
· Choosing
to trust that the LORD is faithful— Not trusting in my faithfulness, but His. “What
shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can
ever be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
