3 Keys To Doubt-Free Prayer

We often hear about the prayer of faith, but the reality is that praying the prayer of faith requires a doubt-free prayer. What is “no doubt prayer?”

[quote style=”boxed”]And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
– Mark 11:22-25[/quote]

1. OUR HEART (NOT OUR HEAD) MUST BE ABSENT OF DOUBT

The place where doubt can not exist is in the heart, which is our spirit. Our head might be giving us fits or surrounding circumstances may be contradicting our faith. However, a doubt-free prayer requires that nothing contrary to the Word of God can enter our heart!

[quote style=”boxed”]
Doubt is defined as:
to be uncertain about; consider questionable or unlikely; hesitate to believe to distrust; to fear and be apprehensive about.[/quote]

Our heart must stay fixed and steadfast on the knowledge of God. God said it! I know that I know that God will honor His Word and come through on my behalf. I have no doubt!

2. OUR HEART MUST BE FILLED WITH FAITH

Second, our heart (our spirit) must be filled with faith (the answer). We must follow the example given to us by Abraham. Look at Abraham’s example found in Romans:

[quote style=”boxed”]
and not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
– Romans 4:19-21[/quote]

Abraham only considered what God had said. We must fill our hearts with God’s Word. The Word of God was, is and always will be the answer to any questions that arise from the world, the flesh or the devil.

3. OUR MOUTH MUST BE FILLED WITH PRAISE

The third key is to have our mouth filled with praise! Proverbs 23:7 says, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Anytime we begin to operate in a high form of faith — a Bible-type of faith — praise will play an integral part. Our mouths are the clearest indicator of the content of our hearts. When my heart is filled with faith, then my mouth will be filled with faith as well. When our faith is complete, praise will always be there. We aren’t moved by our sight and just idly waiting for the manifestation. Instead, we offer praise! We can act on scriptures by operating in praise and thanksgiving. We encourage our faith and make it complete.

How can we recognize when we’re standing in faith? Praise can be used as an indicator of whether we’re really in true Bible faith or whether we’re just hoping and trying. When we’re operating in God’s kind of faith, praise will be there. We abound in faith with thanksgiving. If there is no thanksgiving, we are not abounding in faith.

PRAISE IS LIKE A SPIRITUAL THERMOMETER

Praise is like a thermometer we can use to take our spiritual temperature and find out where we are in believing God. If there is no praise, or if praise is limited, then our faith is limited. When we get to where we’re really abounding in praise — praising God as if it was already done — we know we are beginning to abound in faith. When we’re abounding in faith, it’s just a matter of time until we see the thing that we desire. Praise is a super-important part of faith!

Let’s guard our hearts from doubt, fill our hearts with faith and fill our mouth with praise!
