Yom Ri-shon, Adar 14, 6001 – February 12, 2017
Whatsoever Things
Recently I was reminded of a scripture that has had great impact for me at various times throughout my walk. When Jesus (Yeshuah) was asked about how a tree withered, He made some profound statements to us about faith.
Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 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.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 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.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Here we see that Jesus (Yeshuah) addressed our speaking based on lacking doubt and believing what we says comes to pass, shall have those things. There seems to be a connection to prayer, that the same principle applies to praying, believing that we will receive that for which we pray. And also upon forgiveness. We must forgive others, or our Father will not forgive us.
Lately I have been reminded to be one that believes. This believing can be challenging, but we must strive for this believing and fight off the doubts and fears. This seems to come in prayer and forgiveness of others.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Bless the name Yahuah! Send Your will among us! Send us Your provision now. Forgive us our sins, and we forgive those that have sinned against us. Heal p and wash clean the hearts and minds of Your people. Restore unto Your people one Hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way. We ask all these things in Jesus’ (Yeshuah’s) name. Amen.
