Mark 11:22-24 - So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Power UpMark 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 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., King James VersionIn this episode, we come together to seek the Lord concerning several pressing issues we are facing in the world today.

What does the cursed fig tree have to do with prayer, faith, and judgment?In Mark 11:12–25, Jesus curses a fig tree, cleanses the temple, and then teaches one of the most powerful lessons on biblical faith and prayer. This wasn't random. It was prophetic.The fig tree represented Israel — full of leaves but empty of fruit. Outward religion. No inward reality.And the warning is clear: If there is no fruit, there will be judgment.But Jesus doesn't stop there. He moves from warning to instruction:“Have faith in God.” (Mark 11:22)In this sermon, we explore:✔️ What Biblical Faith Really Is ✔️ Faith in God's Person, Promises, Power, and Purposes ✔️ Why Prayer Is Not a Blank Check ✔️ What It Means to Move Mountains ✔️ How to Align Your Will With God's Will ✔️ The Danger of Fruitless ChristianityFaith is not: Faith in feelingsFaith in outcomes Faith in faithFaith is confidence in the character and Word of God.This message will challenge religious routine and call you back to authentic, fruit-bearing faith rooted in Scripture.
When the mountain doesn't move, it is because we are not within the parameters of the guidelines Jesus gives us. Mark 11:22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. 23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. 24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. 25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and [g]let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.

(This podcast was previously published on February 15, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... I was in the faith movement churches from 1977 to 1982. I loved it. Faith is one of my favorite subjects. But in 1979, God gave me a terrifying dream and by that God brought me out of that church group. This is the story of that which God showed me about the Faith Movement. I love scripture. I love the Word of God by the Holy Spirit. Nothing is more exciting to me and nothing is as valuable to me on this present earth as is following God by HIS Spirit. In 1975, I was born again. Immediately God began teaching me to meditate on scripture and to do those instructions of specific scriptures! Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. And God had taught me from the time I was born again to ask HIM for wisdom. James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. I was applying the above scripture to everything in my life ... and it worked greatly. * When I read the Bible, I prayed for wisdom before reading and God was faithful to teach me scriptures as I read. (I even wrote: "Pray for wisdom", on each book of the Bible so I wouldn't forget to do this.) * I owned a small business in Dallas, and I was careful to pray for wisdom before I bought merchandise and in running the business and making decisions. (In the 4 years that I had the business after becoming a Christian and after learning to pray for wisdom, every item I bought for the business sold, and I never had a sale price to rid myself of unwanted items, for everything sold.) And God taught me the following scripture: John 5:30 Jesus said: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. I was quite sure that if Jesus, the Son of God, could do nothing without hearing from God, The Father, that I would not be able to do anything without hearing from God! So I prayed for wisdom and prayed for God to stop me if I was going the wrong way. I really thought that is what all Christians were doing. I was wrong. At one point, our Bible teacher at Word of Faith said to me, "You were never like the people at Word of Faith. They talked about faith but you lived faith." On this Podcast, I will share some of those things God taught me about the Faith Movement churches. ***** The poison gas dream: 1979 I was asleep in the night when God gave me the following dream. I went into a room where a man was speaking to a group of people. I sat down and began to listen. A second man rushed in and said, "Stop ... It's too late ... Can't you see? ... It's already begun." He disappeared and the first man resumed speaking. No one in the room showed any interest at all in seeing "what had already begun." But I was interested, so I looked out the windows and was very shocked at that which I saw when I looked. There was a tall pole with a yellow civil-defense type speaker on top of the pole. Out of the speaker a poisonous gas was coming and it was coming directly toward those of us sitting in that room. I knew it would kill us. (The speaker that was supposed to warn us was being used to kill us.) I looked at the man who was sitting next to me. He had a big grin on his face and he was staring directly at the man speaking and he seemed to be paying attention. But then I saw this man was a corpse. He was already dead. Then I looked at the other people sitting in the room. They, too, were already dead. And as I sat there among them, I began to feel drowsy and I knew the gas coming from the speaker was killing me also as I sat there. I had no idea what this dream meant. But in 1982, God showed me the meaning of this dream. I went to church at Word of Faith on a Wednesday night. Our pastor, Robert Tilton, was speaking. I looked at the man who was sitting next to me and was very shocked to see this man was the dead man in the poison gas dream. I looked around the room and the other people in the congregation seemed to be the people in that dream. I got up immediately and went into the ladies room and began praying. I said to God: "I believe YOU are showing me to leave this church so I am going to get in my car and drive away. But if YOU want me to come back to this church, I will." God did not want me to come back to this church group and with that God began to show me problems with the Faith Movement. *** The problems: * No one talked about the will of God. We were supposed to find a scripture to "claim" over that which we wanted and quote that scripture and "believe" by faith in that scripture and we would get that which we believed. One of the founders of the movement was a man named Kenneth Hagin. He based his doctrines upon the following scripture: Mark 11:22-24 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. The above scripture is of course correct. *** I wanted to marry. I found the following scripture to "claim". I wrote this scripture in the front of my Bible and every day I claimed that scripture for several years. Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for MY mouth it hath commanded, and HIS spirit it hath gathered them. The prayer group which I attended "agreed" with me and prayed for me to marry. One woman in the prayer group said, "Of course it has to be the will of God for Joan to marry." Then she went on to say, "But of course it is the will of God." My best friend heard a word from God. "MY grace is sufficient for her." She told me. I didn't want to hear that. *** Concerning the will of God when we pray: I John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us: And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM. *** * Another thing we were being taught in that Faith Movement church is that all good is from God and all bad is from the devil and that we had "authority" over the devil and could stop any harm that tried to come to our family or our property. They taught us to "exercise our authority" as believers and stand against the devil. The problems: This assumes that we are capable of knowing what is "good". The devil said to Eve: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. People want to be "as gods", thus controlling their own lives without calling on God! This is antichrist: II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. The will of God in the matter at hand is not considered when you are "as gods." Now, 40-years later, I am delighted to trust in God, knowing that God knows that which is best for me and God will show me what to do in this present life and choose for me! (I really trust in God more than I do in myself! I would hate to try to decide on my own what I should do.) *** Another major problem with the doctrine that all good is from God and all bad is from the devil: We would consider an earthquake to be bad because it destroys property and kills people. But here is what God showed me. Matthew 17 50 Jesus, when HE had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept (were dead) arose, 53 And came out of the graves after HIS resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. Because of the earthquake, the centurion and the men with him believed in Jesus. *** After God brought me out of the Faith Movement church in 1982, God showed me a significant point. I was taught by God to pay attention to that which was brought to my mind by HIS Spirit, whether scripture or concepts. Basically I was being taught by God to meditate on that WORD given to me by HIS Spirit and to follow the instructions of that Word. I didn't realize what I was doing was different from what we were being taught in the Faith Movement. Robert Tilton was pastor of Word of Faith which I attended between the years 1977 and 1982. Bob was teaching the following concept: "If you want a red pickup truck, then cut out a picture of that pickup and put it on your refrigerator door where you will see it several times a day. In time you will figure a way to get that pickup." (I never heard any one at Word of Faith mention seeking the will of God. We were taught to take authority by scriptures over everything in this life and claim scripture.) Also we were taught that we have authority over the devil and the devil could not touch us or our family or our property if we stood against the devil. If you failed, you were taught you had weak faith. During the time I was at Word of Faith church, a hurricane hit in the Houston area of Texas. (I lived in Dallas.) I wondered why some of those great men of faith, such as Robert Tilton and Kenneth Copeland, didn't take authority over the devil and stop the damage and death caused by that hurricane. We were being taught "all good is from God and all bad is from devil." Sometime during that period, I came across the following scripture in the Bible: Isaiah 45:6-7 I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. *** And in the Bible, through the coming years, I saw the following scriptures concerning "good and evil" and that which God will do. God says: Psalm 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave HIS voice; hail stones and coals of fire. Psalm 148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling HIS word: Isaiah 30:30 And the LORD shall cause HIS glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of HIS arm, with the indignation of HIS anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. Ezekiel 13:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in MY fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger, and great hailstones in My fury to consume it. Ezekiel 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Revelation 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (God does as HE wills. We do not have control over the weather. It is of God.) Isaiah 45:6-7 I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Exodus 10:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these MY signs before him: Exodus 10:27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he (Pharaoh) would not let them go. Exodus 11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land. II Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Romans 1:25-27 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1:28-32 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Jesus speaking to the church at Sardis: Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.Matthew 6:1515 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.Matthew 4:2-42 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' ”Matthew 17:14-2114 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”Matthew 10:11 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.Luke 10:1717 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”Hebrews 11:11 Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen.James 2:1717 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.Mark 9:23-2423 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”Matthew 13:5858Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.Matthew 8:1313 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.Mark 11:22-2322 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Matthew 120 Matthew 21:18-22 ESV 18 In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once. 20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?" 21 And Jesus answered them, "Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." Mark 11:11 ESV 11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Mark 11:12-15 ESV 12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it. 15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. Mark 11:17 ESV 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers." Isaiah 56:7b ESV for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples." Jeremiah 7:11 ESV 11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord. Malachi 3:1-3 ESV "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord. Mark 11:19-23 ESV 19 And when evening came they went out of the city. 20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered." 22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Jeremiah 7:4, 9-10 ESV 4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: 'This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.' 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'—only to go on doing all these abominations? Jeremiah 7:26a ESV 26 Yet (BUT) they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. Jeremiah 8:13 ESV When I would gather them, declares the Lord, there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree; even the leaves are withered, and what I gave them has passed away from them." Galatians 3:13-14 ESV 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Expect a miracle. You will receive your miracle if you believe it. When Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24: “Have faith in God.” I tell you the truth, 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. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Watch now to see more of this message!
Come As You Are Series - BartimaeusMark 10:46-52 “Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.”How many of us have the faith of this man that Jesus healed? He was sitting on the side of the road, and when he heard Jesus was passing by, he called out to him. The crowd of people told him to be silent, but he continued to call out. How many of us listen when others tell us to be silent? Or worse yet, we don't feel worthy enough to speak up in the first place, or we are too nervous to speak out and ask for help, fearing rejection. Bartimaeus did not listen when others told him to be quiet. He kept calling out. He believed that Jesus could heal him, and he was not going to let the chance pass him by. Once Jesus heard him calling out, Jesus told the crowd to call him over. When the crowd told Bartimaeus that Jesus would see him, the bible says, “He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.” How great is that? How many of us are jumping up at Jesus' call? I know it's different. Jesus was right there, and he got to see him and talk to him. However, we can also talk to Jesus at any time we want to. Even though we cannot see him, he is calling us to him. He wants to invite us into a deeper relationship with him. Do we hear this call? Do we jump up, throw our cloak aside and run to him when we are called? I love the faith that Bartimaeus had. He knew Jesus could heal him. He did not seem to have any doubt that Jesus could cure his blindness. He also didn't seem to doubt that Jesus would want to help him or to question whether he was worthy enough. He saw Jesus walking by and called out to him. Do we do this? Jesus is here for us; he wants us to call out and to rely on Him. Are we doing that? It seems each week at my Prayer Group, God is showing up for us, and he is telling us to come closer. He keeps telling us to rely on him, that he is our protection and our refuge. Why are we not calling on him more? When Jesus healed Bartimaeus, He said, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” How great would it be to hear those words from Jesus?One scripture verse that I think is amazing and that I struggle with is Mark 11:22. This verse is Jesus' reply to the cursed fig tree. Jesus said to them in reply, “Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.” This is the type of faith that I strive for, yet I sometimes wonder if it's possible. I wonder if there are humans who can have this type of faith? I know that God can do anything. I truly believe this. And yet, when I think of myself commanding a mountain to be lifted up and thrown into he see, I can't seem to wrap my head around that. I have searched for this type of faith for a very long time now. Probably since the first time I actually heard this scripture and let it sink in. The very next verse is Mark 11:23, “Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.” This again just blows me away. All that you ask for shall be yours if you believe. That seems like a lot of pressure, and at the same time, a huge promise on God's part. As I mentioned earlier, ever since I heard scripture like this, I have sought out this type of faith. I would love to believe without a shadow of a doubt that God can do all the things I ask Him to do, that He will answer all of my prayers. I find it a struggle to believe as much as I would like to, and I wonder if this is because I have a human brain and we were trained from an early age not to believe in things that we can't see or prove. We were mostly taught that there are certain things that can be done and things that can't be done. I think as humanity grows, we are learning to question that more and more. But it takes time to overcome years of that type of thinking. I thought I would share one way I have been able to deepen my trust and faith that God can do all He says He can do. I read books about all the miracles God has done and continues to do. I love reading books about healing. God is truly amazing, and He performs miracles every single day. If we were just on the lookout for them, we would see them. If we can't see them in our lives, we can read about them in others' lives. Harold Hill's book, “How to Live Like a King's Kid,” is an excellent example. If you read all the amazing things that God did in his life, you can't help but start to believe he will do it for you as well. Harold Hill also discusses his faith journey and how he reached a point where he began to see God do amazing things in his life. Additionally, I have read books on healing by Francis McNutt, Randy Clark, Mary Healy, Matthew & Dennis Linn, which have been particularly beneficial. When you read about God's healing of others and how there are people out there today who are calling upon God to heal people every day, then it strengthens your faith that he will answer your prayers as well. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” We all know that Jesus performed miracles while he was alive and walked the earth. He raised people from the dead, he cured numerous illnesses, he turned water into wine, and he did many other remarkable things. This verse from Hebrews lets us know that these miracles were not just something he did in the past. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” He is still performing these miracles today, and if we struggle to believe this, then we need to seek out the testimony of it, because it is out there. Another thing I pray often is Mark 9:24, “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.”This story goes well with the Come As You Are series because Beartimaeus did just that. He knew he wasn't worthy to talk to Jesus, yet he called out to him anyway. He heard everyone telling him to be quiet, and yet he continued to call out, not because he thought he deserved the healing, but because he wanted it so badly. Is there something that you want so badly you are willing to call out to Jesus even though you don't feel worthy? Is there something you want so badly that you are willing to jump up and answer Jesus's call? Ask Jesus for whatever it is; what have you got to lose?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we ask that you increase our trust in you. Lord, we believe, help our unbelief. Lord, we need you to show us the way. We would like nothing more than to have the faith to move mountains, and we know that you are the only one who can give us that faith. So we're asking you, Lord, we are asking for the faith to move mountains. Lord, give us the courage to ask when we need healing or when someone else needs healing. Help us to turn to you first and ask you to heal them. Lord, we give you permission to use us as your instruments of healing, as you used countless people before us. Jesus, you are the great physician, and we ask that you continue that work through us. There are too many people dying in the world today. Let us help you help them. Let us be your hands of healing, Lord Jesus. We love you, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in June 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

The phrase “Have faith in God” is far more profound than we realize. It's not passive belief; it's an active choice to trust God over your own sensory knowledge. We must recognize that the world system is constantly being manipulated, designed to cause us to think opposite of the Word of God. Choosing to trust in the reality of God’s infinite truth is the key to living a successful life. Tune in as Pastor Mark A. Stroud delivers the powerful message, "Fight for Love" which is "Have Faith in God," Part 2, and learn how to make that essential choice.

11 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.' ” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” 11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Jesus Curses the Fig Tree12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. Jesus Cleanses the Temple15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city. The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” The Authority of Jesus Challenged27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?' 32 But shall we say, ‘From man'?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Mk 11:1–33.

What do you do when doubt, fear, or disappointment creep in? When life feels unfair and it looks like the enemy is winning?In this message, Pastor John takes us through the story of Elijah, a prophet who saw miracle after miracle, yet still struggled with loneliness, fear, and discouragement. God's answer to Elijah is the same answer He gives us today: “You are not alone.”From Romans 11 to Mark 11, we learn how to walk out our faith in difficult times: • Have faith in God even before you see the answer. • Watch your words and speak life over your situation. • Refuse to let doubt into your heart, stop it before it takes root. • Say what God says and remind yourself of His promises.This message is a powerful reminder that God is for you, He is with you, and He has a plan, even when the world feels dark and heavy.⸻
Happy FRI-YAY! It's Shoutout Day with Pastor Jeff! Today, we finish learning how faith helps us overcome stress. Next week in our Inside Out series, we'll see how God gives us peace over depression. Mark 11:22-24 22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] 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.

'The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit,' (James 5.16-18, NKJV). '“Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them,' (Mark 11.22-24, NKJV).

Thursday, 31 July 2025 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. Matthew 12:13 “Then He says to the man, ‘You outstretch your hand.' And he outstretched it, and it reconstituted, healthy as the other” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus said to the Pharisees, “Therefore, how much man – he excels a sheep! So too, it permits – the Sabbaths – to do good.” Having said this, He now turns His attention to the man with the withered hand. Matthew notes, “Then He says to the man, ‘You outstretch your hand.'” The account says nothing of healing prior to the command. One might think He would say, “Give Me your hand and let Me help you,” or something similar. Instead, right in front of the Pharisees who had questioned Him about the appropriateness of healing on the Sabbath, He spoke the word of authority. In His speaking, He expected that the man would comply. From there, the man could have said, “I can't, the hand hasn't worked for twenty-five years.” Instead, however, Matthew next records, “And he outstretched it.” At this point, one might expect him to have extended his arm with the hand withered and useless, saying, “Well, if You want me to, here You go. If You can do something, please do it.” Instead, Matthew immediately records, “and it reconstituted.” It is a new word, apokathistémi. It is derived from apo, from, and kathistémi, to place down, such as putting someone in charge of something. As such, it would be a restoration back to the original standing of something. There is a separation from the previous, negative state to what lies ahead, meaning the restoration. In this case, the man's hand was once lively and active. For whatever reason, it became atrophied, desiccated, and useless. But with the mere spoken word from Jesus, the vitality it once had was restored, and the hand was reconstituted, just as “healthy as the other.” Hooray for Jesus! The man must have been astonished at the feeling of life, power, and ability in a hand that was thought to be forever useless. With nothing more than a spoken command, he could go back to a life of tending to chores, holding his wife's hand, and raising his arms in thanks to the God of Israel for His tender care of His people. Life application: Imagine having an arm that is like a dried-up piece of wood or legs that hang down, dead and unusable. There would never be a day when you would say, “I can't wait to do such,” and so because you would know that it wasn't within the realm of possibility to do it. You would simply accept your limitations and remember what it was like when you could do the things you can no longer do. Eventually, you will die, and that will be the end of it. Now consider that because of Jesus, whatever is afflicting you will someday no longer exist. Think of what it says in Revelation 21:4 – “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” The man's withered hand was suddenly completely whole. Assuming this lasted until his death, he would remember the event with a sense of joyful amazement all his days. Someday, we will enter into a new phase of existence that we cannot even imagine now. This is the marvel of what God in Christ has done. What was lost at the beginning was tragic, but what has been gained on the way to glory actually makes all of the tragedy of this life worth it. This is because we will have something that we otherwise never would have known or been able to grasp. We now have Jesus. Someday, we will have the results of what Jesus did for us in their fullness. We will remember this life, consider the change, and be able to forever appreciate the difference. This man's restored hand is only a small taste of what lies ahead. And all God asks us to do to receive it is to believe the good news of Jesus Christ. Let us thank God. Through faithful obedience to the word, a lifeless hand was restored. Through faithful obedience to the gospel, the dead shall rise, and together with them, those who are His at the Lord's coming will be reunited with their Creator forever. Faith. Have faith in God's word. “But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart' (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.' 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'” Romans 10:8-13 Lord God, we have heard the word and we believe it. Thank You for the good news that has been presented to us. We are saved by the precious blood of Christ, not by anything we have done. What a wonderful thing to consider. Praise to You, O God, forever and ever. Amen.
Can Your Faith Heal You?Mark 10:52 “And Jesus said to him, 'Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.”How many of us have the faith of this man that Jesus healed? He was sitting on the side of the road, and when he heard Jesus was passing by, he called out to him. The crowd of people told him to be silent, but he kept calling out. How many of us listen when others tell us to be silent? Or worse yet, we don't feel like we are worthy to speak up in the first place, or we are too nervous to speak out and ask for help for fear of rejection. Bartimaeus did not listen when others told him to be quiet. He kept calling out. He believed that Jesus could heal him, and he was not going to let the chance pass him by. Once Jesus heard him calling out, Jesus told him to call him over. When the crowd told him that Jesus would see him, the bible says, “He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.” How great is that? How many of us are jumping up at Jesus' call? I know it's different. Jesus was right there, and he got to see him and talk to him. But we can also talk to Jesus anytime we want to. Even though we cannot see him, he is calling us to him. He wants to invite us into a deeper relationship with him. Do we hear this call? Do we jump up, throw our cloak aside, and run to him when we are called? I love the faith that Bartimaeus had. He knew Jesus could heal him. He did not seem to have any doubt that Jesus could cure his blindness. He also didn't seem to doubt that Jesus would want to help him or to question whether he was worthy enough. He saw Jesus walking by and called out to him. Do we do this? Jesus is here for us; he wants us to call out and rely on Him. Are we doing that? It seems each week at my Prayer Group, God is showing up for us, and he is telling us to come closer. He keeps telling us to rely on him, that he is our protection and our refuge. Why are we not calling on him more than? When Jesus healed Bartimaeus, He said, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” How great would it be to hear those words from Jesus?One scripture verse that I think is amazing and that I struggle with is Mark 11:22. This verse is Jesus' reply to the cursed fig tree. Jesus said to them in reply, “Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.” This is the type of faith that I strive for, and yet sometimes wonder if it's possible. I wonder if there are humans who can have this type of faith? I know that God can do anything. I truly believe this. And yet, when I think of myself commanding a mountain to be lifted up and thrown into he see, I can't seem to wrap my head around that. I have searched for this type up faith for a very long time now. Probably since the first time I actually heard this scripture and let it sink in. The very next verse is Mark 11:23, “Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.” This again just blows me away. All that you ask for shall be yours if you believe. That seems like a lot of pressure, and at the same time, a huge promise on God's part. As I said above, ever since hearing scripture like this, I have searched for this type of faith. I would love to believe without a shadow of a doubt that God can do all the things that I ask him to do, that he will answer all of my prayers. I find it a struggle to believe as much as I would like to, and I wonder if this is because I have a human brain and we were trained from an early age not to believe in things that we can't see or prove. We were mostly taught that there are certain things that can be done and things that can't be done. I think as humanity grows, we are learning to question that more and more. But it takes time to overcome years of that type of thinking. I thought I would give you one way that I have been able to deepen my trust and faith that God can do all he says he can do. I read books about all the miracles God has done and continues to do. I love to read books about healing. God is so amazing and he is performing miracles every single day, and if we would just be on the lookout for them, we would see them. If we can't see them in our lives, we can read about them in others' lives. Harold Hill's book, “How to Live Like a King's Kid,” is an excellent example. If you read all the amazing things that God did in his life, you can't help but start to believe he will do it for you as well. Harold Hill also talks about his faith journey and how he got to a point where he began to see God do amazing things in his life. Also, reading any books on healing, Francis McNutt, Randy Clark, Mary Healy, Matthew & Dennis Linn are just a few that I have read that have been really good. When you read about God's healing of others and how there are people out there today who are calling upon God to heal people every day, then it strengthens your faith that he will answer your prayers as well. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” We all know that Jesus was performing miracles when he was alive and walking the earth. He raised people from the dead, he cured so many illnesses, he turned water into wine, he did all the things. This verse from Hebrews lets us know that these miracles were not just something he did in the past. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” He is still doing these miracles today, and if we struggle to believe this, then we need to search out the testimony of it because it is out there. Another thing I pray often is Mark 9:24: “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.”Dear heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we ask that you increase our trust in you. Lord, we believe, help our unbelief. Lord, we need you to show us the way. We would like nothing more than to have the faith to move mountains, and we know that you are the only one who can give us that faith. So we're asking you, Lord, we are asking for the faith to move mountains. Lord, give us the courage to ask when we need healing or when someone else needs healing. Help us to turn to you first and ask you to heal them. Lord, we give you permission to use us as your instruments of healing, as you used countless people before us. Jesus, you are the great physician, and we ask that you continue that work through us. There are too many people dying in the world today. Let us help you help them. Let us be your hands of healing Lord Jesus. We love you and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen. www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Dave Schuknecht from Waverly, IA. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping grow faith that's deep, rooted, and bold. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:20-24: As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. — Mark 11:20-24 The fig tree is dead. Withered from the roots up. The very tree Jesus had cursed the day before is now nothing but dry branches and lifeless bark. Peter is stunned. But Jesus isn't. And Jesus doesn't say, “Look what I did.” He simply turns to his disciples and teaches them about faith in God. The kind of faith that moves what human strength never could. He speaks of mountains. Obstacles. Impossibilities. And he says, if you believe and do not doubt, it will be done for you. This isn't name-it-claim-it theology. It's an authentic, mountain-moving prayer, rooted not in wishful thinking but in confident trust in God's character and power. Jesus invites us to a faith that doesn't just believe God exists, but believes God is able. Not a faith that measures the size of the problem by our ability, but one that sees every problem in light of God's power. Some things in your life feel too big to move: That relationship. That addiction. That bitterness. That long-unanswered prayer. But Jesus says the issue isn't the size of your obstacle—it's the object of your faith. The point isn't to fixate on the mountain. It's to seek the One who made the mountain. And to trust him, whether the mountain moves or not. Because faith isn't confidence in your prayer or in getting what you want. It's trust in God's power, presence, and purpose—no matter what. #MountainMovingFaith, #PrayBold, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus use the fig tree to teach about faith? What “mountain” are you facing right now? Is your faith focused on results—or on the God who hears? What changes when you trust God's power more than your own? DO THIS: Pray boldly today for something that feels too big. Name the mountain—and ask God to move it, then trust Him either way. PRAY THIS: Father, I trust your power even when I can't see progress. Grow my faith—not just to pray boldly, but to believe you fully. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Do It Again.”

In this lesson, we continue our exploration of the Hebrew concept of faith—one that goes far beyond mere intellectual assent to a set of beliefs. Biblical faith is not just believing that something is true; it is a movement of the soul into the living reality of God through Jesus. One of the more provocative insights in this teaching centers on the Greek genitive case—specifically in passages like Mark 11:22. Most English translations render Jesus' words as, “Have faith in God.” But the Greek text reads: echō pistin theou—literally, “have faith of God.” The word “God” is in the genitive case, which usually denotes possession. This raises a powerful question: Whose faith is it? If the genitive is taken seriously, then the faith being referenced is God's faith— not something we muster on our own, but something God possesses and shares with us. This reorients our entire understanding of faith. We are not the source; God is. Faith becomes a gift—a relational and reciprocal dynamic. As we turn toward God in trust, He supplies the very faith needed to continue walking with Him. This deeper reading appears in numerous New Testament passages, though it is often obscured in translation. Join us as we uncover this overlooked dimension of faith and rediscover it as a shared life between us and God. -------------------------------------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Join the Fig Tree Coffee Club: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/store/p3/Fig_Tree_Coffee_Club.html Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Fig Tree Amazon Portal: https://amzn.to/3USMelI Lesson Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/the-faith-of-god-rethinking-the-source-of-our-faith Article - Rethinking Faith (PDF) https://www.figtreeteaching.com/uploads/1/1/9/7/119763168/fig_tree_ministries_rethinking_faith.pdf YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/tk3z2SkvRN0
# Miracles Week 6: Embracing Faith and Bold Prayer In this week's sermon, we delve into the profound themes of faith and prayer, exploring how these elements are essential in experiencing God's miracles. The sermon draws heavily from the story found in **Mark 11**, where Jesus curses a fig tree and teaches his disciples about the power of faith-driven prayer. ## Key Scripture: **Mark 11:20-24** Jesus's interaction with the fig tree serves as a powerful illustration of faith and prayer. When Peter remarks on the withered tree, Jesus responds with, "Have faith in God." He emphasizes that faith, coupled with prayer, can move mountains, encouraging His followers to pray boldly and without doubt. ## The Power of Thin Places The sermon introduces the concept of "thin places," where the spiritual and material worlds meet, allowing us to experience God's power and grace. These are moments where the divine becomes tangible, and miracles occur. Understanding when and why God acts is crucial for believers who seek to witness His divine action consistently. ## **Faith and Prayer: The Keys to Divine Action** - **Faith in God**: Jesus teaches that unwavering faith is the foundation for experiencing miracles. It is not merely intellectual assent but an active, sometimes risky, trust in God's promises. Faith expresses itself through obedience, regardless of the circumstances.- **Bold Prayer**: The sermon challenges us to evaluate our prayer lives. Are our prayers safe and predictable, or do they reflect a boldness that trusts in God's ability to do the impossible? Jesus calls us to pray with the confidence that God hears and responds. ## Lessons from Joshua The sermon also references **Joshua 10**, where Joshua's bold prayer for the sun to stand still results in a miraculous victory for Israel. This story serves as an example of how faith and bold prayer can lead to divine intervention. ### Three Lessons from Joshua: 1. **Take God at His Word**: Joshua's faith was rooted in God's promise. Believers are encouraged to trust God's word and act upon it, knowing that He is faithful to fulfill His promises.2. **Ask Boldly**: Joshua's public prayer demonstrated his confidence in God. We are encouraged to pray boldly, trusting that God will act according to His will.3. **Confidence in Relationship with God**: Despite past failures, Joshua's relationship with God gave him the confidence to pray for the impossible. This underscores the importance of a right relationship with God, which is made possible through Jesus. ## Living Out Faith and Prayer The sermon concludes by urging believers to live out their faith actively and to pray with boldness. It challenges us to consider what bold prayers we need to pray and what risks we need to take in our faith journey. In closing, the message is clear: through faith and prayer, we can experience the miraculous power of God. As we step into "thin places," we witness His grace and are empowered to live for His glory.
Take the Roof Off — Living Without Limits Through Faith and Power • Friday Service To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org Mark 2:4–5, 11–12 (NKJV) “And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven you.' ‘I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.' Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, ‘We never saw anything like this!'” Mark 11:22–24 (NKJV) “So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.'” Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV) “It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV) “And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Jeremiah 1:9–10 (NKJV) “Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.'” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” John 14:12 (NKJV) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV) “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” CCLI: 21943673
Once you've prayed—act like it's done. Faith keeps things rolling. “When you pray for something, you must believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24Stop “checking” if your prayers are working. That's doubt—not faith; faith keeps moving and believes the outcome before it happens. Have faith in God and allow your faith to work for you.
We don't experience these things because we don't dare to trust God's word. We lack confidence in Him to act on His promises. The faith that unlocks the mind-blowing says, "Even if God doesn't save us, we won't bow. Have faith in God

Is your heart weighed down by anxiety, fear, or uncertainty? In this powerful Easter reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reminds us of Jesus' words: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God; have faith also in me.” If you're feeling overwhelmed by the struggles of life—relationships, finances, stress—this message is for you. Learn how to shift your focus from uncertainty to what is true and certain: God's love, your existence, and the promises of Jesus Christ.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 9th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 43:1: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.” What a promise from God! Do not be afraid. Then we go to the New Testament, to 2 Timothy 1:7: ”For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Now the opposite of fear is faith. That's right. The Lord says in Mark 11:22 “Have faith in God”, not in anybody else, not even in yourself, in God! Many many times, the Lord, when he had prayed for the sick said, “Go in peace, your faith has made you well.” He said that to Bartimaeus, the blind man, in Mark 10:52: “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” We really need to put our eyes on Jesus and not on that fearful thing that is plaguing us at the moment. Do you know folks, do you remember Neil Armstrong? Who was Neil Armstrong, young people? Well, he was the Captain of the space shuttle Apollo 11. He was the first man ever to walk on the face of the moon. Go out tonight and have a look at that moon. He walked on top of that moon. His famous quotation was, ”That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind.” Do you know that 530 million viewers worldwide heard that around the world. That is an incredible step of faith, step into the unknown.Well, I want to tell you another little story. I've got three daughters and when they were small little girls, I would jump into the swimming pool and they would come and stand on the edge and I would say, ”Come on now. Jump in and I'll catch you.” And you know what little girls are like, they want to jump in but they're too scared. Then they are standing on the spot and their little feet are going up and down and they are holding their hands and they are saying, ”Dad, I'm scared. I'm scared, Daddy.” I'd say, ”Don't be scared. Just watch me and jump and I'll catch you.” And then they would take one giant leap and jump into that pool and they would defeat fear.Today, maybe you are full of fear. You don't know what the future holds for you and the devil's telling you, “You're a failure, you'll never make it.” It's a lie I tell you, from the pit of hell. Just take that leap of faith into God's arms. He has promised you that you are His and He will keep you safe. Lord, I pray for my friend listening to this very message now, that You will give them faith the size of a mustard seed, that they can take a giant leap into Your arms today, and their problems and their situations will disappear. In Jesus name, amen.God bless you and have a wonderful day, Goodbye.

This message challenges us to examine the state of our hearts if Jesus were to look at them today. Using the story from Mark 11, the speaker explores how Jesus' encounter with the fig tree and His cleansing of the temple symbolizes God's justice and restoration.Fig Tree as a Symbol: The tree, full of leaves but without fruit, represents Israel's spiritual state—appearing righteous but lacking true faith and obedience. Jesus curses the tree, signifying judgment on Israel for failing its purpose.Cleansing of the Temple: Jesus enters the temple and overturns tables, not out of mere anger but to restore access to God for all people, especially those being exploited. This is not just judgment but an act of restoration.Call to Faith: Jesus tells His disciples to "Have faith in God," emphasizing trust in His justice and sovereignty rather than worldly systems.The speaker challenges listeners to evaluate their own lives:Are you truly bearing fruit or just looking the part?Are you blocking others from accessing God?Are you willing to let Jesus remove obstacles in your heart?
“Have faith in God.” — Mark 11:22 Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest […]

Jesus approaches a tree that has no fruit on it. He immediately condemns it to never bear figs again. The next day, the tree is shriveled up and the disciples ask about it. Jesus responds with these four words: “Have faith in God.” He goes on to say that incredible things are possible if disciples trust in God. In Jesus' midst are people of faith, like those who lay down coats and worship Jesus as He enters Jerusalem. But there are also hard-hearted Pharisees who have no faith. They defile God's temple with money tables. And they question Christ's authority over them, though He silences them almost immediately. They are like that fig tree, condemned for being spiritually barren. The gospel of Jesus has had the same effect, all over the world, for centuries. Some believe. They lay their coats before Him and worship Him as their King. Believers pray in His name, live with great faith, and bear amazing fruit in His honor. These are the few and they belong to Him. But there are always many who live for themselves, are overtaken by greed, and will not submit to Christ's right to rule their lives. They are plants with every ability to thrive but are fruitless and dead. We must choose, every day, which of the two we are going to be. We are the fig trees, and Jesus has the ongoing right to draw from us richly. Loving Father and gift giver, we praise Your name for the coming of Jesus to be our Savior and King. May we sing as believers did when He entered Jerusalem: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord…” Indeed He is blessed, and He is a blessing to all who believe in Him. Help us to bear fruit by His power and for His glory. Lead us to be prayerful, to ask forgiveness when our branches grow bare, and to give Him the authority and the right to draw from us things that please Him. Thought Questions: - The plant imagery is helpful. If you are a fig tree that belongs to Jesus, how does that impact the nourishment and growth you pursue daily? - Jesus was deeply offended that the temple of God was infiltrated by greed. Is there a sense in which that has meaning for us in His church? - There is instruction on prayer in this chapter. Why does Jesus call us to forgive “anything against anyone” before we seek God's forgiveness?
