“Faith is only as good as the object in which it is placed. The secret is not in the phrases we utter but in coming to know ever more fully the One to whom we pray. Since God is awesomely revealed in His Word, the prayer of faith must always be rooted in Scripture. Prayer becomes truly meaningful when we enter into a relationship with God through Christ. We can then build on that foundation by saturating ourselves with scripture.”



R.A. Torrey expressed it this way: “To pray the prayer of faith we must, first of all, study the Word of God, especially the promises of God, and find out what the will of God is… We cannot believe by just trying to make ourselves believe. Such belief as that is not faith but credulity; it is ‘make believe.’ The great warrant for intelligent faith is God’s Word. As Paul puts it in Romans 10:17, “Faith comes by hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” Jesus summed up the prayer of faith with these words; “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.” (John 15:7)
