2014.01.21.02.06 Trust and Belief Created by James on 1/15/2019 1:24:15 PM Trust and belief, more commonly called "faith" is that deep seated belief in the Almighty and trust in Him and His promises, Trust and Belief is the basis on which we will go out and do things that seem irrational simply because we have deep confidence that we have heard from Him
Trust and Belief
The word "faith" is commonly used here but has pagan, that is Satanic, connotations in that faith is a demonic mighty one {god}, accordingly it is better to refer to this as "trust and belief"
There is much teaching available on "faith" a significant amount of which is valid and valuable
However, this must be balanced against seeking to live a life free of sin, etc
Faith is also NOT given for many of the things that are taught from a "prosperity" perspective
It is vital to understand that as long as one has sin in one's life and is carrying demons the forces of darkness have a legal right to deceive you in any way that is legally permissible given your sin and error
Under such circumstances, "faith" can be misplaced and open the door for Satanic and demonic counterfeit blessings, provision, etc
The forces of darkness do NOT care how they trip you up, they will take whatever message you hear, which inevitably contains some truth and some error, and they will then do all they can to focus you on the error and use their responses to your error to trip you up and lead you into deeper error and sin
Sadly a large proportion of prosperity teaching falls into this category
At the end of the day Yah has to work through humans, he will NOT over ride the will of a human in order to do things
Accordingly, much of what "faith" believers pray falls into the category of "charismatic witchcraft" and such faith is answered by demons and Satanic messengers
True trust and belief is a settled assurance that Yah answers valid legal prayers (petitions to the Court of Heaven), that Yah loves us and wants the best for us, that Yah desires us to succeed, that He answers prayer, etc
Thereafter we must do the work, whatever the work is that we have to do in order to earn our living

A widely held believe amongst Charismatic Christians can be summarized as “I Pray So It Is Done” this is a fundamental error based on Mark 11:24 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” KJV
In my experience many pray blessings for themselves and then declare “it is done” and thank “God” or Jesus for granting their prayer.
Firstly it is important to recognize that the book {bible} is FULL of examples where this did NOT happen the most notable being in the case of David becoming King over Israel – Samuel anointed David King when he was in his mid-teens, subsequently David went on to slay Goliath BUT subsequently spent about twenty years fleeing from Saul before Saul eventually died and David became King. There can be no doubt that it was Yah’s will for David to be King and yet there were all sorts of things that had to happen BEFORE David became King.
Thus it is with our own prayers, we may pray something that is the will of Yah in our lives and yet it may take days, weeks, months or years to be fulfilled or it may never be fulfilled if we get in the way.
Secondly it is vital to understand that the above verse ONLY applies IF we are praying Yah’s perfect will in the situation and the prayer that we are praying is inspired by and anointed by His Spirit, praying any old prayer that we feel like praying is NOT going to cut it.
We also need to have the authority to pray that prayer, there is a level of anointing and authority at which point if we pray something that is not necessarily the will of Yah it will still come to pass, consider 2 Kings 2:24 where Elisha curses some insolent young children and they are destroyed by two bears – it is debatable whether that was Yah’s will BUT Elisha was walking under a massive anointing and in great authority at a level that is unknown on earth today.
For the average believer, to pray something and then say “it is done” is utter foolishness and presumption.
Thirdly even IF it IS Yah’s will and even IF you have the anointing and authority, if there is SIN in your life the forces of darkness have the legal right to steal the outcome of your prayer or to hinder (delay, obstruct) the fulfillment of that prayer.
Finally, in the case of a man and woman who are one flesh (have a sexual union) if they are not in harmony and the house is divided their prayers will be hindered and particularly in the area of finances they will find their prayers not being answered at all other than perhaps at the level of nail biting just get by survival. This applies specifically where they are making a concerted effort to serve Yah, if they are not serving Yah the forces of darkness will most likely NOT interfere. Where there are multiple one flesh bonds the problem becomes exponentially greater.
Note that if you are out of the will of Yah, in error and sin, have multiple illicit one flesh bonds or if your house is divided BUT you are not a threat to the kingdom of Satan the forces of darkness will probably allow your prayers to be answered and may even support you to declare “it is done” in order to encourage you in your error.
Furthermore, IF the prayer is the will of Yah it is unnecessary to make such a declaration -- the prayer will be answered anyway.
Conclusion
In most cases it is foolishness and presumption to declare “it is done” relating to what you pray.
Generally, your prayers will ONLY be answered IF they are fully in the will of Yah, if you have the anointing and authority to warrant the prayer, if you are free of sin that would give the forces of darkness the right to obstruct your prayers and if you are in harmony with ALL the people you are one flesh with.
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
