Prayers and Promises

The Word of God is full of promises for the believer. Every promise is meant to be prayed and every prayer should be based on a promise. When people came to Brother Kenneth Hagin for prayer, he would ask them what scripture they were standing on. Often they would say, "well, I just want good health in general." He told them if they were "general" in what they were asking for, then that's want they would get; something "general".

In Mark 4:14 Jesus said, "the sower sows the Word." When we come boldly to the throne of grace according to Hebrews 4:16, we are looking to obtain mercy and help in time of need. The help we need is in the Word. God is faithful and watches over His Word to perform it! (Jeremiah 1:12). It will not return void! (Isaiah 55:11)

So, if you are wanting God to help you with something, find the scripture that promises your victory. For example, if you need healing from fibromyalgia, first speak to it and command it to leave your body! (Mark 11:23). Then thank God for your healing by the stripes of Jesus according to 1 Peter 2:24. Don't waiver (James 1:6), and keep speaking it until you get your miracle!
