Summary
Chip asks: When you really need an answer from God - you’ve got a big decision to make, a serious situation is dragging on and on, a doctor’s report is frightening, a friend or family member is headed in a direction you know isn’t good - how can you pray and have absolute confidence that God hears you? If those questions are familiar, this message is for you!
Main Points Faith:- Definition = Hebrews 11:1
- Importance = Hebrews 11:6
- Faith, therefore, is having absolute confidence that whatever God says, He will do.
Question: When you pray, are you going to God with absolute certainty and confidence that what you are asking for will be given?
You can pray with absolute confidence. -1 John 5:13-15
How?

- How must we pray to know God hears our prayers? -1 John 5:14
- How can we know the will of God? -1 John 5:14 -- By the promises of His Word
- How can we know God’s will when we have no promise for a particular situation? -Romans 8:26-27
