Mark 11:22-26 KJV
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and 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 unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
There are two prerequisites to answered prayer given in the text;
Faith in God
Scofield says this is the faith that God gives. Gill calls it the faith of which God is author.
I have never seen a mountain moved. But I have seen and heard of things as great as mountains being moved through prayer, faith and to the glory of God.
Forgiving those we have ought against
The word forgive means to send away, to lay aside, to leave alone. When someone has hurt us in any way and we have something against them because of it, God says to send that ought away. Just leave it alone. Put it down and go on.
There is always plenty of reason to have ought against another. Christians just send it away.
