Mark 11:16-26
New International Version (NIV)
16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[a]? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[b]”
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.
19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples[c] went out of the city.
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[d] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” [26] [e]

The bible says be angry and sin Not . Amen , and it also says , the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availabeth much. So when the part of this teaching said: And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. Then this scripture will come to pass . Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Of course you have to have Faith always , remembering that God is in control and his scriptures and promises of his word , cannot be broken.
Faith, Believe that whatever you ask in Jesus name will come to past. Believe and you will receive it. But you have to forgive as Jesus has forgiven us. That might be the hard part for some of us.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. The apperance of circumstances sometimes will bring doubt in, but that is the trick of the enemy to make you doubt God. You have to have blind faith knowing that regardless to what it looks like God got you, because he never fails.
Secondly, we must operate in love. It is one of the greatest attributes of God. When we harbor unforgiveness, we are not displaying his character. Forgiveness is the source of blessings, healing, and the promises. IF we fail to forgive, God is not obligated to forgive us because His word says, "25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Always keep the door open.
When you pray BELIEVE. When do you receive? When you pray. GLORY!!! NOW FAITH
THE POWER OF R FAITH.. NOW FAITH IS....KNOWING GOD CAN DO ANYTHING BUT FAIL
Faith! Believe and Receive!!!
Father God in the name of christ Jesus please help strengthen our faith when we fall short, and that when we say to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but belives that what they say will happem, it will be done for them. All I want is to please you Lord.
