What are the "ifs" and "buts" in your life? What is it that you are constantly saying "if I had done this or if I had done that" about? What is it that you are saying "but" about? Are you saying God can do something "but" if he doesn't? Are you counteracting your words of faith by interjecting them with the word "but"?
We have to speak words of faith and have faith in the words we say. Don't use the word "if" when you are talking about what God can do. As you make statements of faith, say "God can" and God will". Not "if God can or if God will". Have faith and confidence in what you say to and about God.
When you pray words of faith or make proclamations of faith, don't say "I trust God to do it but if he doesn't". What you do when you do that is you make yourself options or should I say you are trying to give your faith options. You have to live knowing God can, God will, and God shall honor His Word in your life. You have to live knowing that He can make a way where there appears to be no way. You have to live in constant expectation of Him doing what He said He would do. You have to trust God completely even when things don't happen according to your timing or your plan. Yes there will be times when things don't work out the way we wanted them to. Yes situations will come that challenge your faith "but" don't start off your faith walk with "optional faith". Optional faith is not saying that you fully expect God to move on your situation. We have to always stand, believe, and trust in God's Word!
