Prayer
Contributed by Roy Fowler on Sep 13, 2020 (message contributor)
This statement is many times use as a stand alone statement without regards to the actual meaning. When the context has to be considered and an understanding of who God is and his teachings are most important.
A famous Bible scholar John Gill puts it this way: For whatever is asked in faith, agreeable to the will of God, which is contained in his covenant, word, and promises, and makes for his glory, and the good of his people, shall be given, be it what it will; though to carnal sense and reason it may seem impracticable and impossible:
In other words if God agrees with your pray of faith and it agrees with God's teaching in the Bible its going to happen. When we have faith no matter how in this world it seems impossible it will happen.
