Want to "cut out (Matt 5:29-30)" what is not working, want to learn how to die to self? Jesus shows us how it happens immediately. Faith with God, spoken word prayer without a doubt.
A) Jesus teaches how desire can prompt us towards prayer of deliverance
18-19) Jesus hungry, sees fig tree without figs, "May you never bear fruit again" it immediately withered
- Thinking of this in terms of addiction, which tricks us into being "hungry" for it, in faith we can say NO, NEVER AGAIN, and receive immediate deliverance.
- He saw the figs didn't have fruit, we must know the truth for the truth can set us free. Addictive substances offer no real relief or support, rather they only pacify the withdrawal (feeling of hunger).
- Sometimes we need prayer and fasting to gain deliverance. (Mark 9:29)
20-22) Disciples asked how, Jesus "Fatih without doubt, believe = receive whatever you ask for in prayer"
- 20th of 31 "truly I tell you" in Matthew, 6 are about faith, and words Matthew 8:9,10;17:20;18:18,19;21:21,22;26:13 But rest are about judgment and fulfillment of the law at the end of all things.
