A CHILD WITH CLUB FEET:
There was a lad who him there to be healed, so he asked them to take him to get dome shoes, but his mother reminded him that with club feet he could not wear shoes, He stated but when I’m prayed for I can. They got the shoes and when he was prayed for he opened the box and put the shoes on. He had trust in God so he put his trust in Him.
I read about the pastor tha asked the church to meet him in an open field to pray for rain, but when the people got there he dismissed the meeting t he dismissed them because no one brought an umbrella. They were willing to pray for rain but had no trust that God was going to answer in a positive way.
Mark 11:24 (KJV)
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Did Jesus mean what He said here or was He just talking to kill time or fill space? Trust will cause us to take those words literally just as if He was talking to you personally.
