Genuine or authentic faith must be definite and free of doubt. Not simply general in character; not a mere belief in the being, goodness, and power of God, but a faith which believes that the things which “he faith, shall come to pass.” As the faith is specific, so the answer likewise will be definite: “He shall have whatsoever his faith.” Faith and prayer select the things, and God commits himself to do the very things which faith and persevering prayer nominate, and petition him to accomplish. Our chief concern is with our faith-the problems of its growth, and the activities of its vigorous maturity. A faith which grasps and holds in its keeping the very things it asks for, without wavering, doubt or fear-that is the faith we need-faith, such as is a pearl of great price, in the process and practice of prayer.

Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan states that Faith and prayer select the subjects for petition, thereby determining what God is to do. “He shall have whatsoever his faith.” Christ holds himself ready to supply exactly, and fully, all the demands of faith and prayer. If the order on God is made clear, specific, and definite, God will fill it, exactly in accordance with the presented terms. Faith deals with God, and is conscious of God. It deals with the Lord Jesus Christ and sees in him a savior; it deals with God’s Word, and lays hold of the truth; it deals with the Spirit of God, and is energized and inspired by its holy fire. God is the great objective of faith;for faith rests its whole weight on his Word. Faith is not an aimless act of the soul, but a looking to God and a resting upon his promises. Just as love and hope have always an objective so, also, has faith. Faith is not believing just anything; it is believe in God, resting in him, trusting- His Word. Faith gives birth to prayer and grows stronger, strikes deeper, rises higher, in the struggles and wrestling of mighty petitioning. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the assurance and realization of the inheritance of the saints. Faith, too, is humble and persevering. . It can wait and pray; it can stay on its knees, or lie in the dust. It is the one great condition of prayer; the lack of it lies at the root of all poor praying, feeble praying, little praying, unanswered praying.

Faith grows by reading and meditating upon the Word of God. Most and best of all, faith thrives in an atmosphere of prayer. Prayer is absolutely dependent upon faith. Virtually, it has no existence apart from it, and accomplishes nothing unless it is its inseparable companion. Faith makes prayer effectual, and in a certain important sense, must precede it. Yet faith is narrowed down to one particular thing-it does not believe that God will reward everybody, nor that he is a rewarded of all who pray, but that he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him. Faith rests its case on diligence in prayer, and gives assurance and encouragement to diligent seekers after God, for it is they, alone, who are richly rewarded when they pray as said by Master Prophet E.
