Exceedingly Growing Faith : (Mark 11:23--24) "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 you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." For almost the last of my incarceration, I tried to figure out what was meant by, "what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." First of all, the devil and the religious leaders told me that it doesn't mean what it says. They told me, "Now that doesn't mean what things soever you desire naturally, or physically, or materially, such as healing, or materially, or financial. My desire was for healing and incarcerated. That just means what things soever you desire spiritually." I am sorry I even listen to the devil and the religious leaders, for if (Mark 11:24) doesn't mean what it says, then Jesus told a lie. However, I didn't know that then, so I decided to send for some study material and when I received the materials I start studying alone these lines. I began to read the New Testament again and Mark 11:24 and tell the religious leaders at that time if it meant what it says, isn't it strange that you should have to ask somebody if Jesus meant what he said ? But before I could get going on what I was trying to say, he put on his professional bars, and said, "just be patient, at that, something rose up inside me. I couldn't hollow out loud, but I was like the mischievous little boy whose teacher made him stand in the corner. He said, "I made be standing up on the inside, but inside I'm sitting down. Inside I literally yelled out, I am free ! Finally, when I did pick up the Bible, I turned to Mark 11:24 and said, "Dear Father God, I am going to take this scripture for what it says. And if you didn't live about it, I'm coming out of this prison. If I don't get out of this prison, it will be because the son of God told a falsehood and I'll just have them throwaway the New Testament. But it will still 11 more months before our came out of that prison. I would think about that Scripture, meditate on it, and pray. Then I would look to see if God had open a door for me. The Word of God is spiritually understood. The word is of the spirit of God. Holy man of old road as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. As I base my prayer upon that particular Scripture, and in with voice would say to me put in your I-60. As I meditated on that Scripture, I finally understood what it said. The light came. It was as if someone had turned on a light inside me. I tell people the meaning of this verse over and over again, yet I know they must understand it with their spirit to see it. However, I must keep repeating it, because the more the meaning is shared, the more people catch on. I can tell when it dawns on them, because there eyes light up. Others will just sit there stare, but more and more catch on all the time. "What things soever you desire" means exactly what it says. "When you pray" means right then--- the moment you pray. "Believe that you receive them and you shall have them" in common, everyday language means, "you've got to believe you've got it before you get it." When I understood it, I immediately said, "Why, Lord, I see what I've got to do. I must believe that I'm free and healed while I am locked up in this prison house. (Notice I said "I am free and healed, not going to be healed and free. Many people would say, "I believe God is going to heal me." But that is not New Testament believing. I know, because I had stayed in that prison for a entire 11 more months believing that and never got anything. Notice that it says, "believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." You believe it first, and then you will have it. Someone said, "I don't understand it." You can't understand it with your head. The things of the spirit of God of foolishness unto the natural man or natural mind and the Bible years of the spirit of God. The Scriptures are spiritually discerned. You have to understand it with your spirit. The moment I understood this verse, I began to act on the Word. And I got the results that I desire. There is always some way you can act on the word. The only way I could act on it at that moment was to put in the I-60 and raise my hands and praise God for His Word. I said, "thank God, I believe. I believe that my healing and freedom is now !
