In Kneeling We Triumph Volume One, Edwin and Lillian Harvey have brought many aspects of prayer to our attention. One of these is the necessity of a total faith in God and in His promises to us which is a prerequisite to effectual prayer. The following quotations, taken from the writings or sermons of God\u2019s saints, emphasize this truth:<div class=\"bg-margin-for-link\"><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69d2956c74ea09089475082' value='69d2956c74ea09089475082'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69d2956c74ea09089475082' value='Continue reading...'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69d2956c74ea09089475082' value='Show Less'><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69d2956c74ea09089475082' ><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo aim aright at the liberty of the children of God requires a continual acting of faith\u2014of a naked faith in a naked promise or declaration. By a naked faith in a naked promise I do not mean a bare assent that God is faithful, and that such a promise in the Book of God may be fulfilled in me, but rather a bold, hearty, steady, venturing of my soul, body, and spirit upon the truth of the promise with an appropriating ACT!\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u2014John Fletcher.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur limitless trust in God seems to satisfy Him as nothing else can do, because it corresponds with His eternal faithfulness, it honors His veracity, and is a constant silent worship of all His perfections. God forever honors those who believe Him. He has organized us on a pattern of trust, and not to trust ourselves in God is to derange the very plan of our creation. Faith in God is at once the sweetest necessity, the sublimest duty, and the greatest privilege of a creature toward his Creator.\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u2014G. D. Watson.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first requirement of prayer is to believe.<br \/>\nBelieve that God is and that \u201che is a rewarder of them that<br \/>\ndiligently seek him.\u201d<br \/>\nBelieve that God is alive and therefore has power\u2014not only for<br \/>\nPeter\u2019s deliverance, but for ours.<br \/>\nBelieve that God is love and that He cares for His own.<br \/>\nBelieve that God is power and therefore no power can stand<br \/>\nagainst Him.<br \/>\nBelieve that God is truth and therefore cannot lie.<br \/>\nBelieve that God is king and that He will never abdicate His<br \/>\nthrone or fail in His promise.\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u2014Leonard Ravenhill.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kneeling We Triumph Volumes One and Two are published by Harvey Christian Publishers and are available in their Online Christian Bookstore.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><a id='bg-showmore-action-69d2956c74ea09089475082' class='bg-showmore-plg-link  '  style=\" color:#cc1818;;\" href='#'>Continue reading...<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We, as Christians, often hold a distorted conception of faith which is far from the Biblical original.
