My authority is not absolute either. There is only one absolute, and there is only one absolute authority.
All. Accepting, following, and obeying that authority is faith.

All. But faith is trusting God forever and entrusting everything.

We live by trusting and trusting that God and entrusting everything to us.
That is faith. The text tells us how to believe and what results come from believing
is explaining.
1. Do not doubt
Verse 23 says, “If you do not doubt in your heart, believing that what you say will come true, it will be done for you.
"Doubt is the enemy of faith. If you doubt, you will not have a married life.

It's not something you can touch."
What is better than this world, power, money, is faith in Jesus.
Jesus is the best, the most precious, and the most loved one.
But that Jesus cannot be seen or touched.
Just because I can't touch with my hand and I can't see with my eyes, don't doubt it.
If you doubt, your prayers will not be answered and your faith will not be established. Let's dispel doubt.
2. Pray and ask
Verse 24 says, “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it.

Americans are indirect and indirect, whereas we are direct and straightforward.
This is also reflected in prayer terms. Americans say, "Can you do it?
Can you please give it to me?" I pray. It's like a so-called gentleman's agreement.

3. Forgive
Verse 25 says, “Forgive if there is an agreement with anyone in the group of people standing and praying.
Your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
He also taught us in the Lord's Prayer.
“Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
And "... you have to forgive in order to be forgiven.

things, don't repeat the same thing over and over, don't get up too early in the morning, etc.
Forgiveness is the heart of God if it is a generous heart.
Forgiveness is a heart of reconciliation. If there is no forgiveness, there is no prayer; without prayer, there is no prayer.
Otherwise, your faith will die.
Let's reaffirm the lesson of this text.
"Believe in God"
"Do not doubt"
"Believe that you will receive"
"Forgive me" Amen.
