Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight.

If someone would ask you, how do you know blood flows through your veins? Most people would answer, because I’m alive. Just because you’re alive doesn’t mean blood flows through your veins. Even though our sensory mechanisms (sight, smell, feel, etc) don’t detect blood flowing in our veins, we choose to believe.

God wants us to get to that place where even though our sensory mechanisms don’t detect whatever we’re standing in faith for (deliverance, healing, or materialistic possessions) we choose to believe.

When you have nothing else to stand on, stand on God’s word.
