A Word in the Scriptures can have a general application, but it is up to you to make it a specific Word. For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish...John 3:16.
What wonderful words these are! "Whosoever" included everybody, but it does not work for you until you realize that it means you personally. God also said, "Whatsoever you shall ask in My name, you will receive." Just think of all those wonderful things you can ask for in His name!
But do not forget to be specific when you ask. That verse does not have any fulfillment until you nail it down and apply it to the need in your own life, demanding that by faith you will have the answer.
Let me present to you a twofold definition of faith: Faith is a continuous state of confidence in the Word of God, and it is also an individual explosive manifestation of that confidence for miracles and greater works. We will never see faith manifested in its great power until it is a continuous state of confidence in the Word of God that upon every occasion will focus and erupt into miracles and greater works. faith must not waver; it must be constant.
