A Matter of Belief

Jesus' words paraphrased:

'Have faith in God.... If you say to a mountain

'Be you removed and cast into the sea, and do not doubt

in your heart, but believe that what you say shall come to pass,

you shall have whatsoever you say.'

 

'What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you

receive them, and you shall have them.' (Mark 11 v.22-24 parts)

------

A matter of belief - 

Believing that what we pray for shall come to pass.

And believing that we shall receive what we ask for in prayer.

 

A sort of - picturing the answers to prayers in front of us, as it were

And also, at the same time -

Receiving the answers invisibly, as it were (i.e. by faith).

 

Yet Jesus goes on to speak of the need for forgiveness

That can be a blockage to answers to prayer

Sometimes? Always?

 

Do we believe? Do I believe?

Never mind me judging anyone else

Whether I think they not have enough faith

No faith at all; or should 'believe harder', etc.

 

Something will happen, sometime, somewhen

Jesus does not say it's all instant

Or when and how exactly the answers will come

But we can try moving a molehill

If a mountain seems too much

 

And really, it is 'Have the faith of God'

What can, what does He believe

 (and including She, if you will).

Surely it can be anything possible

In His Almightiness

Of ability and power

Nothing being impossible for Him....
