Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say unto you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them.
its not a seperate thing from the rest of the gospel, the thing is he was teaching this principle you have shared , to His followers. they believed what He said, because they were witnessing the miracles he spoke forth, and when He rose from the dead as He told them He would, there was no place left to doubt a single word. Faith is the Key, but Faith has to come from Gods word, we have to trust the things he says, with the instructions ans warnings He gave. Jesus.
Faith isnt to just believe jesus is real, or that he is in Heaven now, faith is to beoieve what He said, because we Believe in Him, we Have faith in Him, so whos words then, give us faith? to come to a place where Jesus is always right, and be able to accept the things He says in the Gospel, not what others explain, but the things right there for us to believe.
can a man walk on water? is that possible? can a man raise another man from death, by asking God or saying " Get up" ? is that a possibility in mans mind in our understanding and logic?........yet, Gods word says, all things are possible. he spoke and all things that exist, became. that same power is in the words of Jesus Christ and in the witness of His life on earth in the 4 gospels. picture those miracles, as not miraculous for God. only appear as miraculous to us because He is God, and we are man.
"Faith comes from Hearing the message, the message is Heard through the Word of Christ" dwell on the things you know from the Lord and choose to believe His explainations of whats possible and How to acchieve it. we have to walk in Gods will, because if we do, we will ask for the right things. if were needin some gambling money.......im not sure a verse like this applies. if were asking something according to His will ( the gospel) we have confidence.
john 15 "
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us."
when you know you are doing the things God teaches us to do, it changes prayer because you are not condemned inwardly, even if at some points you fall short, you have abundant mercy, when you are living with all your heart in plain sight of God, and understand the bible teaches us that Gods spirit, is present with us in us, and that is where all the miracles in the Bible came from, the same spirit that is offered to the disciples of Jesus Christ. << to believe God is with us, and Loves us, and is pleased to give His children good gifts, builds faith, and it is what the Bible teaches us to believe,
God bless
