FAITH WITHOUT DOUBT BRINGS THE RESULTS Matthew 21:19-22 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you again forever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. Brother/Sister, Did you observe what is the consequence of faith. The fig tree was withered. Jesus was demonstrating to His disciples how words of blessing or cursing that emanate from the mouth of one will have effect on the other. Never do you curse a brother, friend or relative. Things may come to pass as you curse. Jesus knew that it was not the season for fig tree to produce fruit, and yet, when He was hungry he approached the fig tree and found no fruit on it, and He cursed the fig tree. On their return trip the disciples of Jesus found the fig tree withered. Jesus says if you have faith as little as the grain of mustard see and if you say to a mountain to be taken away from its roots and be cast in to the sea, it will come to pass. Nevertheless, your faith and prayer works out only when you have forgiven your neighbor and then go to God in prayer. If you did not have belief in Jesus Christ until now, it is high time you accepted HIM as your Savior. Time is very short. Please accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. If you have not confessed your sins until now, it is my request to you, not to waste any more time, but to repent of your sins, and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord. He is coming soon. Let us be prepared to be taken into fold when He comes on clouds for the second time. God bless you. Leslie M. John |
