Jesus Had Whatever He Said

"Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples: and He SAID to them, 'Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, '''Why are you doing this?''' say, 'The Lord has need of it, and immediately he will send it here.' So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. But some of those who stood there said to them, '''What are you doing, loosing the colt?''' And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded, so they let them go.    (Mark 11:1-6)

"And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple, So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve. Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. In response Jesus SAID to it, 'Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.' And His disciples heard it."

(Mark 11:11-14)

"Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to Him, 'Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered away.' 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.'   (Mark 11:20-23)

Jesus’ words to His disciples describe the way to intimacy with God. Along the way you will find many things to say: if those words accord with the flesh, they will die; if those words accord with God's Spirit, they will come to pass. Understand that speaking to this mountain is not situational act but a daily devotion.
