Mk 11:25 “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”. If I can’t forgive someone who has sinned against me, how can I expect God to forgive me?

19“When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it in order to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can get food from them. You must not cut them down. Are trees of the field human, to come under siege by you? 20But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce food. You may cut them down to build siege works against the city that is waging war against you, until it falls.
12The next day when they came out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again! ” And His disciples heard it.
I appreciate the correlation between these two passages.
Does anyone have insight into this? I’m planning on looking what other translations say and check Strongs concordance.-
Not sure if a correlation between these 2 passages about trees exists or is supposed to be evident. Maybe they just fell on the same day. But… If you find something out, please post! :)

Lord, help me understand.

The Old Testament is a beautiful story of how we as humans can not navigate this world without Christ. I see two things. The Jews need the Old Testament because it points to Jesus as the messiah. We need the Old Testament to hear about the people’s struggle of living under the law and how it is impossible given our human nature. Christ had to come for us to be free

I struggle with Deuteronomy sometimes. It’s very different from the New Testament.

You aren’t alone! I have struggled through most of the OT so far but I’m hanging in there!

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.- What a promise! Lord help my unbelief!

24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. – Prayer requires belief . James 1 speaks to this as well…those who ask, but don’t believe are double minded and unstable. Let’s be women of Faith who don’t doubt, but believe all that Jesus has for us if we pray with all our hearts!!

Amen!

Thank you

We have to be very careful here with these verses. John 14:10-15 makes it clear that Jesus did not preach a health and wealth gospel. If we truly believe in Christ, we will be praying for the things He puts on our hearts, not just for selfish gain for ourselves. I pray that I would desire the things of God, and not just the things of the flesh.-
so very true.

Amen, Suzanne!

Agreed, it’s easy to read this as ‘if I pray for it I will get it’ whereas if we are true believers who trust our God we will be praying for his will, his way, and we will certainly receive it. It may not be what we ‘want’ but in our belief we will know it is Gods will.

Agreed! My youth pastor just preached two weeks on prayer, and this is one thing he mentioned

23 you must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse.
Wow this just reminds me of Jesus’ crucifixion. He was hung on the cross, took all my sins so I can inherit all His blessings

Kelly, Holy Spirit impressed the same thoughts to me as well.
-
Wow! I hadn’t thought about that!
