mark 11 " And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23For 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. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
this a Teaching not to those who refuse Jesus Words but to those who would believe Him. this is not the mosaic Law Jesus is teaching here, but faith as His doctrine consistantly Taught. Note Here, and also in the following example, that forgiving others is something that we do between God, and us first and foremost in prayer. the following example
matthew 6 " And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
This again, for those who believe that Jesus came with the full wisdom of God, not another man from earth speaking of God, but the One who was with God in the beginning, before the World was, come from Heaven.....To teach us the message God sent from His throne the the Heart of any believer no matter your race, social status, the wage you earn, what language you speak. The salvation message that was spoken forth By the Lord first, witnessed by His followers, and by the spirit through various miracles, all meant to say Jesus is in fact that One that God has sent from Heaven to earth, for salvation. to teach us things like prayer, and Have faith, forgive others because God has forgiven you, now treat others as God has treated you.
finally
Luke 18 " And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. ( thank you lord that im righteous) 13And.... the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
its a bit strangethat we dont here alot of what Jesus taught in the christian church but instead alot of what people wrote 5 years ago explaining why we should stay clear of Jesus teachings because they are the law of moses. moses didnt teach the things Jesus taught. one is eternal Life and spirit things like faith, prayer, trusting God, understanding even a strict pharisee is not righteous before God, understanding even if ive been really good today, i still need mercy, even when im forgiven, i still need mercy, still need to rely on Gods renewed mercy every day. and equally, that mercy doesnt write a free pass for me to live as i choose but a freedom to live as God wills man, live as meant for man according to Gods will. with this comes prayer and the children of God, do not go un answered by thier Faither, who speaks and galaxies shine forth from nothing......
Luke 12 : "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
prayer is really powerful stuff when we Know that God hears us, and Loves us and is pleased to answer us. God bless you in abundance of the things that do not fade and wither away
