Turn with me this morning, if you would, to Mark the 11th chapter.

Mark chapter 11.

We've been on this subject for a few weeks now, and I think we should continue, called Faith to Receive.

Mark 1122, what did Jesus say?

Have faith in God.

As the margin of my Bible says, have the faith of God.

Have faith in God.

I think both of those would be true.

He went on to say, for verily I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain be thou removed be thou cast into the sea shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith therefore I say to you what things ever you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them now both of those is faith but it's in different directions

one is faith against something and another is faith to receive something.

First one, verse 23 is not prayer.

Verse 24 includes prayer.

What did he say?

If you'd say to the mountain, well, is God making mountains of problems for people?

God putting mountains of obstacle and evil things in your way?

No, then that's why you don't need to pray about it.

You don't need to talk to God about it.

He's not your problem.

He's not the one to put it there. But what do you tell us to do? Talk to it. You don't need to talk to God about it. He's not your problem. He's not the one to put it there.

But what do he tell us to do? He didn't say, beg God to move the mountain. Oh, please God, make

the mountain go away. Whether it's a mountain of sickness, a mountain of debt, whatever it might be,

what do you and me to do?
