Although what I am about to describe to you may not at all be an act that is canonized by the doctrines of the practice of faith, I would like you to know that I took to this act knowing or at least expecting God to answer me in my trivial times. And in pride I say, that The Man of war did not keep silent!
So it was that I picked that black book off the shelf. It bore the faint inscriptions "HOLY BIBLE" on it's wood-hard cover. I didn't know what to look for in it anymore, for I assumed that I have known everything in it.
Hence, I flipped the Book to it's back where in other similar occassions I would rush to the book of Psalms seeking for comfort and consolation. I found myself taking that solemn stroll from the end to arrive at a redly verse I least thought would be the answer to my call.
It read: "Let no man eat fruit from you ever again."
Apparently it was the voice of Jesus speaking such harsh words.
"I am dead!" I thought to myself, for it was the end of the passage and there was no apparent continuation except for: 'And his disciples heard of it.'
I moved up two verse to find the referrence for that particular verse. It was referring to the fig tree having leaves but no fruit in the time of Jesus' hunger.
Nonetheless, I read on in the passage where Jesus whips the money-makers out of the temple. "Darn mad he must have been," I thought to myself.
Finally, I arrived at THE ANSWER in the following passage.
My question about the verse which read "And his disciples heard of it," was answered in this passage which reads:
And Peter remembering, said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig which you cursed has withered away. "
I was beginning to see a reason for the former.
And having moved on from there I arrived at yet another redly verse that caused my heaping troubles to melt down into a shower of tears.
I literally heard the calm voice with a thunderous echo sound, "Have faith in God.
"For assuredly I say unto 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."
No matter what or who your problems are "Have faith in God!"
Through Jesus, have faith in God.
And if you feel that your sins have made God turn a deaf ear, the verse that completes that passage on the fig tree that was cursed would amazingly be an answer to everyman's doubt.
I don't wish to display it here, read it for yourself. I say, READ IT FOR YOUR SELF!
Referrence: Mark 11 : 12 - 14, 20 - 26.
