"He Will Have Whatever he Says"

Mark 11:23

"For assuredly, I say unto you (Jesus assures those who have inclined their ear to hear what He was saying: His disciples and ANYONE else who will listen), 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 that he says will be done, HE WILL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAYS." Clearly, having whatever you say is contingent upon removing "this mountain". It seems that "this mountain" refers back to the scribes and chief priests unwillingness to receive Him (Mk.11:18) when He came - their unwillingness to humble themSELVES under His ministry.

If we say to "this mountain" that would stand between us and becoming a fruitful branch in Him: "be removed and be cast into the sea", and doubt it not in our hearts but believe so that "this mountain" shall be removed, we will have whatever we say because what we will be saying will be what He is saying! For those who are willing to receive Him AS He comes to them and willingly humble themselves under His mighty Hand, that which impedes us from knowing Him as He knows us will be removed and His way to us(and our's to Him) will be made straight! "This mountain" stands between us and becoming one with He and the Father who are One! (John 17)

We know that Jesus said nothing unless He heard His Father say it, and whatever He said came to pass. Jesus commended the centurion for understanding that Jesus need "only say the word and it will be done". In fact, Jesus said that the centurion's understanding of the matter was greater than what His people(Israel) had come to understand.
