A Key to answered prayer: The Word mixed with Faith

"For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with Faith in them that hear it".  Hebrews 4:2

I was recently talking to a friend concerning the subject of unanswered prayer.  This is a direction God has be taking me in lately, as I wonder why so many of us as Believers are not getting answers to our prayers.  

We begin to discuss how sometimes we do not mix the Word with Faith, meaning we can believe the Word of God, but may not act on it.   I was reading a book that stated that one of the keys to success in life is the ability to make decisions readily.  This does not mean that you act out of haste, but once you are well informed about a decision you should not hesitate to move on it.   People who are able to do that are more successful in life, so how much more would it be to apply this same principle to the Word of God by acting on it, believing that God would lead us in the right direction.

So let's say you feel a hunch that you need to move for a better career opportunity, but you have not moved on it.  You are settled in the town in which you are raised and don't want to leave family and friends.  However, on the other hand you feel drawn by God toward a new city hours away.  Can you see how you can become stuck in life because you do not act on that "hunch" to move?
