Many Christians pray and wait for God to “do something.” But what if I told you God already has? The Bible makes it clear: God has already answered all prayers—and the issue isn’t whether He will, but whether we know how to receive.
2 Peter 1:3–4 – The Key Scripture:
“His divine power has bestowed on us everything we need for life and godliness…”
Every answer you seek—healing, provision, peace, direction—has already been given in Christ. It’s already in your spirit. So why don’t we always see it?
The Faith Gap:
The issue is faith vs. mental assent.
- Faith believes God’s Word and acts on it.
- Mental assent agrees in theory, but doesn’t act or confess.
Why Prayers Go Unanswered:
It’s not God’s unwillingness—it’s often our ignorance of who He is or misunderstanding of how to apply faith. Many Christians drift between faith and mental assent, only experiencing supernatural results occasionally.
By Grace Through Faith:
Just like salvation, answered prayers are received by grace through faith. Grace provides. Faith receives. What Jesus promised in John 14:13–14 still stands: “Ask anything in My name, and I will do it.”
Conclusion:
Stop begging God to do what He has already done. Begin to believe, confess, and act on His Word. Faith makes the invisible visible.
