2114 Prayer in Jesus' name.... strong faith.... doubt....

October 14, 1941: Book 30

Faith moves mountains.... and if you speak Jesus' name in faith, you will receive everything you ask for. "If you ask the father in My name, He will give it to you...." However, you must have a deep, unshakeable faith in His love and omnipotence, for only your faith makes prayer effective. Prayer without faith is only a form; only faith revitalizes prayer, and the answering of prayer also depends on faith. And if you now sincerely pray that the father in heaven will send you His spirit so that you will hear His word, the spirit of God will descend upon you. Yet it depends on the strength of your faith how you hear His divine voice. He will speak to you audibly when you no longer harbour any doubt. Your faith must be so strong that you do not doubt for a second that God will fulfil your request, then nothing will be impossible, for what God wants will happen, and if you believe, there is nothing that God cannot accomplish. Jesus possessed this strong faith and He wanted to transfer it to all people, and so He gave them the promise that every request would be granted if they asked the father in His name. And only faith in this promise is required of people. They do not know what an assurance Jesus Christ has given them.... They do not realize how easy it is for them to obtain everything from God if they only believe firmly. Jesus Christ offered Himself as an intercessor with the father, i.e., the man Jesus was so strong in faith that there was no unfulfilled request for Him by virtue of this faith. And since He knew that people were still weak in faith, they should make use of His strength of faith and ask the father in His name.... The spirit from God can only work where firm faith is a prerequisite.... Weak faith makes the effect weak, and it is always the person himself who determines the clarity with which the transmissions from the spiritual kingdom reach him through the strength of his faith. Undoubted faith will let the words resound clearly and audibly in the heart, but as long as it is still subject to fluctuations the transmission is also more difficult on the part of the giving beings. And therefore you have to struggle for strong faith and pray that God may strengthen it, for you can accomplish everything if you let go of all doubts....

Amen
