1 | Can I really have what I say? | Mark 11:23 | Scribe | 85774 | ||
Mark 11:20-26 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. It is amazing how much revelation is in the context and yet how often preachers build their doctrines of verses divorced from the context. If we see that unforgiveness will cause God not to hear us then we see that the idea of asking what we will has to do with a proper spiritual request. In my opinion we could say that if I were to ask the Lord to give me the ability to forgive someone I could be sure that if I have faith I will indeed have forgiveness for that person. Or if I ask that I could be free from a besetting sin, though it have deep roots like this fig tree, I can ask and believe and will see that thing dried up from the roots and be gone. If I say to this mountain obstacle that is blocking my growth in the Lord or my vision, (such as the log in my eye) be removed and if I have faith like the widow who continously went before the judge, I will have victory, I will be free, I will have whatsoever I ask. If a man asks for things that he may consume it upon his lusts, Jesus never meant that he would get that, James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. So we know that there is a balance, and what is that balance? Spiritual treasures, that is what we are to seek. I will claim a deeper walk of Love, what will you claim? :) |

2 | can I have both? | Mark 11:23 | jbw | 85781 | ||
What's wrong with having them both, a deeper walk and whatever I ask? His word says seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness then all the other things will be added. Well, is it possible to have both? help me to understand??? | ||||||
3 | can I have both? | Mark 11:23 | Scribe | 85784 | ||
both what? The prerequisite is to seek first His Kingdom. If you are consumed with Christ, there is nothing left for you to consume of yourself. If you are dead to self you are not concerned with self gratification. If Jesus said these things will be added to you if you first seek Him, and Jesus also said Take not thought for what you should eat or wear etc, then it is obvious that as you are busy seeking the Things of God He will take care of you. He will take care of your housing. If He as taken care of it, don't seek a bigger one, instead seek His kingdom, leave your physical needs up to him. Flee from the flase teachers of today that try and teach that material gain is the measure of faith. This is not the gospel but an anti-gospel and when the Lord comes back many of those that say they have faith will be told they have none. True Faith seeks His Kingdom, which is all about loving others and serving others, it is about seeing souls saved and delivered from sin. It is about being holy yourself and more like Christ day by day, whether you live in a tent or in a house. The true gospel says if you have more than you need, sell it and give to those that have need. It is harder for a rich man to enter into heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of the needle because, few rich will give their riches to those in need. Justification for hording wealth will ring from the rooftops until Jesus Comes, but many will be ashamed in that day. May God keep us from covetousness and help us give of our abundance to our brothers in need. |
