So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:22-24 (nkjv)

This seems too big to be true. Yet, I know Jesus cannot lie. So, He is simply declaring a truth in the most emphatic terms.Would we not think it horrible for God to make something like this up? If we believed it was not true, we would disregard it.

What, then, if we affirmed that Jesus, the Truth, declared these statements fully intending for us to believe and practice them? And what if, because of the surpassing vastness, certitude, and grandeur of the promise, we wobble, shrink, and stall - and slink off to lesser fields of faith? Is not this Word of our Savior disregarded, all the same?

If I concur that Jesus’ words are true, but for whatever reason I will not believe and practice them . . .
(I’m sorry; it’s just too hard for me to finish the sentence.)

Let me try an alternative wrap up:

We do believe what Jesus declared is true and that it is for us, but we might feel that, Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Ps. 139:6

I've felt like that, too. But I just can’t let that word lay there on the page unrealized. Here it is, the promise of answered prayer from He who does the answering. His speaking creates the world His words describe. He looks for a man or woman to believe Him and enter in - that He might bless their faith.
