What are the blessings of believing? Mark 11:24 says, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” James 1:6 corroborates this by stating “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.”

Belief is the key that unlocks heaven’s bounty. God’s grace is begging to rain down blessings on those who believe. Like a tarp holding back the blessings predestined for us, our belief punctures the membrane so that all that was withheld can be released into our lives.

Belief does not, however, cancel God’s testing. He will still test and discipline us in order to stretch our faith. We can thank Him for the times of spiritual growth, which strengthen our belief for times of harvest.

Heaven’s currency is much more than earthly riches; it includes healing, peace, joy, love, patience, reconciliation, salvation and restoration. We can take a step of faith today to reap the blessings of our belief in God’s promises.
