J OHN 4:46-54 'So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.' (KJV) Looking into these Scriptures verses--59 stands out: 'and the man had believed the word that Jesus and spoken unto him.'

This Scripture stands out because it indicates that the nobleman--believed what Jesus told him, this was indicating the faith that the nobleman had in Jesus.

He didn't question Jesus and continue to ask Him to come down to his house and heal his son. We can see his faith in Jesus as the verse continues 'and he went his way' believing.

Today many people say that they believe the Word of God, but they do not practice what they say that they believe--like the nobleman did--they only half believe and half doubt.

The nobleman's son was healed because he had faith without doubting.

Doubting if your request will be answered will get the answer--NO, because of your half faith and especially because of your doubting..

When you pray-do you receive -not doubting or do you not receive because of your doubting?
