For example, we don\u2019t know what God wants us to pray for.

Do you know why God does not put a limit on us? It is because there is no limit in God. So, do yourself a favour and take the limits off.<!--more--> When God says ask, the question is, ask who? God did not say ask your spouse. God did not say ask your government. God did not say ask your siblings. God says, \u201cask of Me\u201d; who is speaking? God Almighty and He is saying to you and me, \u201cask of Me\u201d. Our faith is not in our abilities, our faith is in our God. In fact, our faith is not even in our faith or in our capacity to have faith. When people feel they do not have faith, they become afraid. The reason they are afraid is because they think their level of faith is insufficient to move the mountain before them.<\/p>\n<p>I announce to you today that you do not need to have faith in your faith, just have faith in your God. Believe God. I have not asked you to be in denial about whatever challenge is before you. Come face to face with the challenge but do not stop there, step back and put it side by side with your God, the Almighty God. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/bible\/406\/EXO.14.14\">Ex. 14:<sup>14<\/sup> (ERV)<\/a> \u201c<em>You will not have to do anything but stay calm. The Lord will do the fighting for you<\/em>.\u201d I want you to imagine a boxing match between you and that challenge before you. But just as you are about to step into the ring, God shows up and says to you, \u201cStep back child, you will not have to fight, I will fight for you\u201d. Wow! At that point, you just take your position beside the ring and cheer! Go Father, knock them all down with one single blow!<\/p>\n<p>What we ask is never a challenge for God. However, God wants you and me to have the right motives for asking. I need you to get this because it will change your life totally and you will be able to embrace what God has for you. Motive is key to receiving. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/bible\/116\/JAS.4.3\">James 4:<sup>3<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c<em>And even when you ask, you don\u2019t get it because your <strong><u>motives<\/u><\/strong> are all wrong\u2014you want only what will give you pleasure<\/em>.\u201d [with emphasis]. If all you are thinking about is how you will get that big car and oppress your wife, then you need to check it. This is the same woman that has been praying for you. How can God answer that type of prayer? If your reason for praying for financial blessings is so that you can go to the village and spray money, scatter everywhere with dollars. That cannot be a motive that aligns with God. You need to understand that you cannot be believing God for and receiving another person\u2019s spouse by faith. That is not the kind of asking God responds to. With asking, the motive is key.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>:\u00a0 Holy Spirit, I ask that You harmonize my heart with God\u2019s heart, help me desire and ask for what God wants for me, in Jesus Name.
