Message Transla6on: Hebrews 11:1 The fundamental fact of existence is that this
trust in God, this faith, is the firm founda6on under everything that makes life

dis6nguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

believeth.

devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
YES, BUT WHAT IS GODS PESPECTIVE- AND THIS IS WHY THE ENEMY WANTS
OUR FAITH DEAD.

you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and
does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it
will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe
that you have received it, and it will be yours.
MARK 4:15. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but
when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word
that was sown in their hearts.
Our Faith is under afack because that is the gateway to success and freedom.
As an unbeliever you receive, because of God’s Grace and Mercy and by the
Laws of the earth.
As a believer the Lord is concerned about your souls (Beloved, I wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.)
1john 1:2.
5. PRAYERS: Prayer
a. Self-evaluation: The Hebrew root word pelel or its reflexive form
l'hitpallel means to "judge oneself" or "to self-analyze". In Jewish
philosophy, prayer is a way to transform oneself by comparing one's
actions, behavior, and attitude against God's holiness. It means
unveiling –

have received it, and it will be yours.

2 As
they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me
Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they
sent them away.
HOW DO I FAST
MATT 6:16-18 - 16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for
they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they
have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head
and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are
fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees
what is done in secret, will reward you.
