You are guaranteed whatever you ask for, when you believe and trust in what God has promised in His Word, despite the circumstances you may be facing right now.
Mark 11:24 (Amplified) says, “For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].”

When God guarantees you something (His part), and you have faith in or believe in the one making the guarantee (your part), then you can trust and be confident that you will get whatever God said that you would.

This verse says to you and I, “For this reason I am telling you…” It is saying that God really wants you to know something.  And that is, “whatever you ask for (in prayer), believe!”  God really does want His children to believe, trust and be confident in Him and His Word.

Why is it so important to believe God’s Word?  Have you ever given your word about something only to find out that those you gave your word to, did not believe you?  When God gives His Word, it is a guarantee that it will be exactly as He said it.

So, “whatever you ask for in prayer,” and you have faith in, or “believe (trust and be confident)” in… God says, “that it is granted to you, {or guaranteed by God} and you will [get it].”

How much clearer can this word be?  You can ask, believe, trust in and be confident in God’s words to you, and it is as good as guaranteed that you will receive or get what you asked for.

Many are trying to “religion-ize” what the scriptures really say to us.  They try to make the words in the Bible line up with their own belief systems, which are often based on religious information they have collected throughout their lives. 

Many will say things like, “God didn’t really mean, whatever you ask…did He?” Does that sound like anything else that you’ve heard in the Bible?  In Genesis 3:1 it says, “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he {the serpent} said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 

Of course God said… just like God said you are healed by the stripes of Jesus. Just like God said that you can do all things through Christ Jesus. Just like God said, you are more than conquerors. God said all of those things. And the reality is this, that’s exactly what it says, and it’s exactly what God means.

God says, “…I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].”

You are guaranteed whatever you ask for, when you believe and trust in what God has promised in His Word, despite the circumstances you may be facing right now. Our God is bigger than any thing we may face in this life, and His Word is more powerful than any lie from satan.

What is a lie from satan?  It is anything or any word that does not line-up with God’s Word. When people try to explain away the truths of God’s Word, those “explanations” originate from the devil and are attempts to cause you to not believe what God said.

God said, “For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe…” What will you believe in? Will you believe and trust in what God says, or will you believe and trust in the circumstances you see before your very eyes? 

Romans 3:4 says “let God be true but every man a liar.” Let God be true and the voice of the enemy be a liar.

John 8:44 says, “…{satan} was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When {satan} speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for {satan} is a liar and the father of it.” What are satan’s “resources?” I believe this means that he’s making it up as he goes. But the question is; will you believe satan’s lies or God’s Word?

You can “believe {trust God and be confident in His Word) that it is granted {or guaranteed} to you, and {God says} you will [get it].”
