Expect Great Things from Our Great God

Mark 11:24: “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

Whether you know it or not, our view of God can often be seen in the size of our petitions. Many of our requests to God are prayed in ways that minimize His Power. Alexander the Great was once asked for a big request which he granted instantly. The men around him who heard the request and Alexander's response asked him why he granted the request so quickly. Alexander said he did so because the request honored him.

Because we serve a “Big God,” The Lord wants us to believe Him for big things. However, our faith must rise to the point where we expect mighty things from our Mighty God. Mark 11:24 reads, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Jesus taught the disciples that their faith, not the size of their petition, was the catalyst that brought miracles in their lives. We serve a Great God—believe Him for great things!


Let’s Pray:
Father, we pray that You’ll help us to believe You for great things. We ask that we not minimize Your Power or Your Ability to move in our behalf, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”



Daily Prayer:

“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,

and enlarge my territory,

that Your hand would be with me,

and that You would keep me from evil,


that I may not cause pain!”

The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10

Daily Confession:
Father, I thank You for making me the head and not the tail
Above only and not beneath
The lender and not the borrower
The conqueror and not the conquered

I thank You for giving me all things that pertain unto life and godliness
And for delivering my life from death and destruction
So that I shall live and not die to declare your works

I thank You that no sickness shall live in my body today
For by Your Stripes I'm healed
I confess that I will not be stressed, oppressed, or depressed
Because You're keeping me in perfect peace as my mind is stayed on Thee

I confess that there shall not be any lack in my life today
For my God shall supply all my needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus
Thank You that all things are working together for my good
And that You always cause me to triumph

This is the day that you have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
In Jesus, Name, amen.
