Mark 11: 22-24 Breakdown
by Tim Greenwood
The other morning the Lord got me up in the wee
hours of the morning to "Look again at Mark 11:22-24."
I thought I knew everything there was to know
about this passage already. After all - this IS my favorite scripture.
But what the Lord had me do, was to break
the passage down into the Greek and then reassemble it back into English
to amplify it.
I am excited about what I found and anxious
to share it with you.
I trust that the depth of your understanding
will be increased by my effort early that morning.
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them,
Have
faith in God. Or… Have the faith of God.

(the2) faith

| [echo] |
[pistis] |
[theos] |
|
Have, hold and keep it!
Take possession of it and
Be possessed with it!
Embrace it!
Accomplish and
Achieve with it!
If you HAD it and lost it,
Recover it,
Go to law for it if necessary!
|
Trust,
Reliance,
Assurance,
Confidence,
Conviction and
Consistency
|
God
|
Paraphrase: Do whatever you need to do to - obtain, fill yourself
with and hold on to - the same faith that I have.
Does that give you an idea of how much Jesus
wants you to His kind of faith? - Wow!
Mark 11:23 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.

Paraphrase: Listen, this is Jesus, I'm telling the truth and I would
never lie to you...
Whoever, and I mean anybody, that has this kind of faith, can command
or even directly speak to this thing that has lifted itself up over them,
this situation that has arisen, this mountain that is blocking their path
of life...
Anything like "GET off me, get out of my way!, In the name of Jesus,
I sling you away and and slam-dunk you into the deepest ocean!" Now
remember, guard your heart. Don't give in to temptation to - doubt, judge,
discern, hesitate, waver or pick your faith apart... just believe.
Have faith, trust, reliance, assurance, confidence, conviction and consistency
in that faith that whatever you say to that mountain whatever your need
- it shall come to pass. Again, you will have whatever you say...
anything!
That is so neat... the mountain is whatever
that is standing in your way! And what do people tend to do concerning
standing in faith? They want to anilyze it, figure it out, pick it
apart - rather than just believe it and receive it! And, it can be
whatever you need! Praise God! Isn't He great!
Mark 11:24 Therefore
I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that
ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

…<you > [implied]
Will have
<it>.

Paraphrase: Not only that but, whatever you desire when you pray...
(Whatever, and I mean anything!) ... It works that same way!
Believe it in your heart (like I said before), and grab it with
both hands and hold on to it and you will have that thing you desire.
Hey, it even works that same way in prayer!
I hope that you found this as inlightening
as I did!
God loves you and we love you! |
