Message summary & scripture references
When many Christians pray to receive their desires and needs, the prayer usually ends with the expression, “if it be Thy will.” This feels like we are being humble and unpresumptuous; however, this expression is a faith-killer and will delay the receipt of your prayers. Listen to today’s message to learn more about this idea.
1 John 5:14-15 KJV
[14] And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
[15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Mark 11:23-24 KJV
[23] For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
[24] Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

[39] And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt .
