Mark 11:22 KJV
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
This is an interesting response to Peter's observation that the fig tree Jesus had cursed had withered away.
Upon Peter observation and remark Jesus simply says, "Have faith in God."
1. Have faith when God does what is not understandable to us.Jesus had cursed the fig tree for not having fruit even through the Bible clearly says that it was not the time of figs. Our Lord does things that are incomprehensible to us.
In those times, we must have faith in God
2. Have faith when God does what seems violent.Many in our time think that the Lord is supposed to be more gentle than we see Him in this passage. Here He was, overturning tables, casting people out of the Temple and refusing to let people carry things through the temple. Could not He have been more kind? Could not He have found another way to get people to behave right in the temple?
In those times when the Lord seems more angry than men think He should be, have faith in God.
3. Have faith in God when the obstacles before you are enormous.
Jesus said if they had faith they could remove mountains. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us that the disciples ever did that and I don't think it was because they lacked the mustard seed of faith. It was because they never needed to remove one. This was a metaphor about the types of obstacles they would face. Through faith these men did unimaginable things.
4. Have faith in God when you desirevs 24
It is as important to believe God to give you right desires as it is that you believe God will give you the things you desire.
5. Have faith in God when you pray
Prayer is more than a poem. It is an expression of our faith that God is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Seek Him in faith and you will be rewarded.
6. Have faith in God concerning those who have offended youvs 25
And forgive them. God saw the offense and He will work things out.
