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

Believing. That's the key to
everything in the kingdom of God. It's the way we tap in to the very
power of Almighty God. Most of us know that. But few of us are sure
exactly how to do that kind of believing. We don't know how to put it
into action.
Actually it's so simple, it's startling. It's as simple as saying, "I believe I receive."
Something
happens in your spirit when you say those words. I don't understand
how, but it does. I don't understand how my digestive system knows what
to do when I swallow something, but it does. All I have to do is take a
bite of food and it goes to work. I don't have to make it happen. I
don't have to feel it happen. It just happens. That's the way the body
is made.
In much the same way, when you feed on God's precious
promises and "swallow" them into your spirit by saying, "I believe I
receive," faith is released. You don't have to make it happen. You don't
have to feel it happen. It just happens. The reborn spirit is made that
way.
When you constantly say with your mouth, "I believe I
receive my healing" or "I believe I receive my financial needs met," and
then quote the scriptures that back those things, faith is released to
bring power to bear on those needs.
As Dr. Kenneth Hagin says, you
need to "keep the switch of faith turned on." And Gloria and I have
discovered that speaking out that phrase, "I believe I receive," is one
way to do it. We say it when we pray. We say it when we praise God. We
say it when we read the Word.
We especially say it in the face of
darkness when it looks like we're not receiving. When everything looks
the worst, we say it the loudest. I believe I receive!
Do
you want to activate your faith today? Then make these four key words
the most important words in your vocabulary. Use them every day. You'll
soon discover, just as we did...they work!
