Can we really pray with confidence, even when our circumstances seem to say something completely different from what we're praying for?
In this episode of The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast, Annemarie Cross is joined by seasoned prophetic minister Lorellee Colley for a conversation about prayer, faith, Scripture and what it means to come into agreement with God.
Lorellee shares a simple but powerful perspective:
“Prayer is agreement with God.”
But what happens when we say we believe what God has said while, underneath, there's still a “yes, but…”?
Yes, God can provide, but…
Yes, I know what Scripture says, but look at my circumstances.
Yes, I believe this promise—but I've been waiting for so long.
Lorellee explains why recognising these hidden “yes, buts” matters and why praying confidently begins by returning to Scripture, renewing our minds and growing in our understanding of who God is and who we are in Christ.
Together, Annemarie and Lorellee explore:
• Why prayer is more than bringing a list of requests to God
• What it means to understand prayer as agreement with God
• Why relationship with the Father is foundational to confident prayer
• How to recognise the “yes, buts” that may be influencing what you really believe
• Why renewing your mind through Scripture matters
• The difference between faith and pretending a problem doesn't exist
• What the New Covenant means for the confidence we have in Christ
• How our identity as sons and daughters of God changes the posture from which we pray
• What Mark 11:22–24 teaches us about faith, authority and speaking to the “mountains” before us
• How the voices and environments we continually consume can influence our faith
• How to remain confident when you're still waiting to see a promise or prophetic word fulfilled
• Why our confidence ultimately rests not in ourselves, but in Christ and what He has already done
As Lorellee reminds us:
“Faith isn't pretending the problem doesn't exist. Faith is choosing that God's Word will have the final say.”
If you've been praying about something for months, or perhaps even years, and your circumstances seem completely at odds with what you believe God has said, this conversation will encourage you to return to His Word, examine what you're agreeing with, and place your confidence again in Him.
