ANSWER TO PRAYER
Read Mark 11 Jesus comes to Jerusalem
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. whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:22-24 NKJV)
Known as the Passion Week, Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly and hailed by the crowds saying: "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!" (Mark 11:1-11) During this time, He moved around Jerusalem, Mt. Olives and Bethany. At Mount Olives, He cursed the fig tree as it was fruitless and cleansed the temple. Upon returning the next day to the fig tree, it withered.
With that He taught the disciples concerning faith in prayer. Faith that is in God will move mountain. A figurative of any insurmountable problem. The mountain (hindrances) that comes between us and God, e.g., even being offended by someone how we response it's more than to the offender but us and God. God never wants the mountain to be there. The enemy has placed it there as we allowed it through action, will, attitude or emotion. No mountain in your sphere of influence (authority) you can't move it. The choice is yours. Else Jesus would not have asked you to speak to move it
That whatever things you ask, cannot be contrary to Gods character. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1John 5:24)
This confidence is faith, a substance you couldn't see but it comes by hearing the Word. It comes by knowing Gods will. This gives faith. This promise is already given to whoever (however illiterate or poor) and whatever (needs - as long it is provided in the covenant, e.g., healing, prosperity...etc) and it's a fact.
Prayer: Lord, You are the Creator and have longed that I am confidence of been blessed with all good gifts for the advancement of Your Kingdom and be transformed into Your likeness.
