Do You Believe God Is Capable?
Minister Lisa Kane
March 17, 2026

Objective:
This teaching helps believers develop a deeper and more confident faith in God by understanding that true belief is grounded in knowing His promises, approaching Him with humility, and praying intentionally according to His Word. Through Scripture, this lesson shows that faith is not vague hope but a confident trust in the character and capability of God. It teaches believers how to approach God in prayer by recognizing Him as the one true Creator, ordering their prayers with purpose, using Scripture as the foundation of their requests, and persistently bringing their case before Him. The goal is for believers to grow in their confidence that God hears their prayers and that nothing is too difficult for Him to accomplish.
Synopsis:
In “Do You Believe God Is Capable?”, Minister Lisa Kane teaches that genuine faith is built on a deep understanding of who God is and what He has promised in His Word. Beginning with Hebrews 11:6 and 2 Peter 1:4, the teaching explains that faith is not blind optimism but trust in the promises God has already given. When believers know the Word of God, their prayers shift from uncertainty to expectation, trusting that God will fulfill what He has spoken.
The teaching then emphasizes the importance of humility in prayer. Drawing from James 4:6 and 2 Chronicles 7:14, it reveals that faith grows in a heart that recognizes its dependence on God. Pride attempts to solve problems without God, but humility acknowledges that we need the One who created us and that only He is capable of doing what we cannot.
The lesson continues by reminding believers that their faith and prayers must be directed to the one true God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Through Isaiah 45:5 and Jeremiah 32:17, believers are encouraged to remember that when they pray, they are speaking to the God for whom nothing is impossible.
Minister Lisa then teaches that Jesus showed us prayer is intentional and ordered, following Matthew 6:9–13. Prayer begins with honoring God, submitting to His will, and then presenting our needs before Him. This ordered approach aligns the believer’s heart with God and strengthens their faith that He hears and responds.
The teaching also highlights the power of praying the Word of God. Using Isaiah 43:26 and Hebrews 4:16, believers are encouraged to bring God’s promises back to Him in prayer. Standing on Scripture strengthens faith because it reminds believers of God’s faithfulness and His commitment to fulfill His Word.
Finally, the lesson explains that faith continues seeking God with persistence. Through Isaiah 41:21 and the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1–8, believers learn that pleading their cause before God is an act of faith, not desperation. Persistent prayer demonstrates confidence that God hears and will act according to His will.
The teaching concludes with Jeremiah 32:27, reminding believers that the true question is not whether God is capable, but whether we believe that He is. When believers know His promises, humble their hearts, pray to the true Creator, approach Him with order, stand on His Word, and persist in prayer, they begin to pray with confident belief and faith that nothing is too hard for God.
Inspired Teaching:
1. Faith Begins With Knowing God’s Promises
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
2 Peter 1:4a NKJV
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises,
Matthew 7:7 NKJV
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Faith is not blind optimism. Faith is built on what God has already promised. He promised if you ask, it will be given to you.
Do you believe that God can give you what you ask?
Prayer is a relationship with God and we need to know God and His promises when we pray.
God’s promises become the foundation of our belief.
When we know His Word, we no longer ask, “Can God do this?”
We begin asking, “Lord, when will You fulfill what You already promised?”

2. Faith Requires a Heart of Humility
James 4:6 NKJV
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Humility is the posture that allows faith to grow. Remember, we are approaching the God who created the universe, who created you.
Pride tries to solve problems without God. We’re not God!!!
Humility acknowledges:
“Lord, I cannot do this without You.”
Faith is not demanding that God serve us.
Faith is humbling ourselves before the One who created us.
The humble heart says:
“God, You are capable even when I am not.”
Attitude of our heart makes a big difference in prayer.

3. Faith Prays to the True God — Our Creator
Isaiah 45:5 NKJV
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
Jeremiah 32:17 NKJV
17 ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too [a]hard for You.
Faith must be directed to the one true God.
The Bible presents one Creator.
When we pray, we are not speaking into the air.
We are speaking to the One who formed the heavens and the earth.
When we truly understand who God is, our prayers change.
Instead of saying,
“Maybe God can help…”
We begin saying,
“Nothing is too hard for my God.”

4. Faith Prays With Order and Intention
Matthew 6:9–13 NKJV (The Lord’s Prayer)
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. [a]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Psalm 5:3 NKJV
3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
Jesus did not teach His disciples what words to repeat.
He taught them how to approach God.
Prayer has an order. First we acknowledge who God is. Then we submit to His will.
Then we bring our requests.
When our prayers are ordered, our hearts are also ordered.
Prayer is not chaotic conversation.
Prayer is intentional communication with our Creator through faith/belief that He hears us and answers our prayers.

5. Faith Uses God’s Word as Its Argument
Isaiah 43:26 NKJV
26 Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be [a]acquitted.
Hebrews 4:16 NKJV
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
God invites us to bring His Word back to Him.
This is not arguing against God.
This is standing on what God has already spoken and realizing that we can bring His Word back to Him because He keeps His promises. He is honorable!
When we pray Scripture, we are reminding ourselves of God’s promises.
Instead of saying:
“Lord, I hope You will help me…”
We can pray:
“Lord, Your Word says You supply all my needs.”
Faith prays with evidence — the Word of God. And reminding God of His Word in prayer causes Him to move on our behalf.

6. Faith Pleads Its Cause Before God
Isaiah 41:21
21 “Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob.
Luke 18:1–8 NKJV (Persistent widow)
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, [b]‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will [c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
God invites His people to bring their cause before Him.
Faith does not quit after one prayer.
Faith continues to seek God until the answer comes.
Pleading our cause means we continue standing on His Word.
It means saying:
“Lord, You are capable. Your Word says this. I will continue seeking You until I see Your hand move.”
Persistence is not desperation.
Persistence is confidence that we know God hears and we are waiting expectantly and urgently.

Teaching Conclusion
Jeremiah 32:27 NKJV
27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
The question is not whether God is capable.
The question is whether we believe He is capable.
Faith knows His promises. Faith humbles itself before Him. Faith prays to the true Creator. Faith approaches Him with order. Faith uses His Word as its argument. Faith continues pleading its cause.
When those things come together, prayer stops feeling powerless.
Because we begin praying with the confidence that nothing is too hard for our God.
