Jesus
said, “If you believe” to His disciples concerning prayer. What is involved
with believing when it comes to prayer? Let’s take a look at that story and the
promise that Jesus gives to all Christ followers.
18 Early
in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing
a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves.
Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree
withered. 20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed.
“How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have
faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but
also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it
will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever
you ask for in prayer.” - Matthew 21:18-22
The
prayer promise is dependents on having faith and not doubting. If we obey then
nothing is impossible!
What parts of your life
do you need to turn (in faith and no doubts) to God in prayer with?
