40 Days...Day 12

Good Afternoon Church,
Today is day 12 on our 40 day journey to bring ourselves closer to God. Today’s text can be found in both Matthew and Mark.

Matthew 21:18-22
18Now in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry.
19Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He said to it, "No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you." And at once the fig tree withered.
20Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, "How did the fig tree wither all at once?" 21And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. 22"And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

Mark 11:24-25
24"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. 25"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.


Have faith and be forgiving. These two thoughts from Jesus alone could change a persons life completely. As you spend time today in prayer with God, don’t forget to ask believing, have faith, and forgive others as you would like God to forgive you.
