Father, we pray before we enter into the word and the message, tonight about faith and how it's released and how it's used. And I'm looking to you, greater one, that dwells within me. I am looking to you for every gift, every spiritual endowment necessary, every anointing to carry out what you have called and anointed me to do.

Therefore I say under you, what things so ever you desire, when you desire, when you pray, begin to believe.

That's when you exercise your faith.

That's when you exercise your faith. That's when you begin to say it's mine.
