  1. Have faith in God! Mark 11:22

  2. Mark 11:22-23 "Have faith in God!  I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him."

  3. The Day When the Lord Listened to a Man – Joshua 10 God’s promise to Abraham Genesis 15:18-21 Sin of Amorites to reach full measure Genesis 15:16 In book of Joshua (600 years later): God rolls back the Jordan River Walls of Jericho fall. God delivers Ai into their hands. Oath of peace signed with Gibeonites. (Joshua 9)

  4. Adoni-Zedek “My Lord is Righteousness” From Jerusalem (first time mentioned) In contrast: Melchizedek of Salem Appeared to Abraham 600 years earlier “My King is Righteousness” From Salem (the original Jerusalem) Melchizedek – foreshadows Christ (eternal priest) Adoni-zedek – foreshadows “anti-”Christ

  5. Isaiah 30:30-31 The Lord will cause men to hear His majestic voice and will make them see His arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.  The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria; with His scepter He will strike them down.

  6. Did this really happen? vs. 12-15 It was poetical. But: vs. 14 God refracted the light from the other side of the world. But: vs. 13 Unscientific to say that the sun stops. But: Language of “appearance”

  7. For those unsure…vs. 12-15 The earth’s rotation miraculously slowed down for one extra day. This slow down was due to answered prayer. This was a very small thing for the Lord to do (given Creation and Genesis 1).

  8. Three other things: They all returned to Gilgal vs. 15 - for next week! The Book of Jashar! ...and ordered that the men of Judah be taught this lament of the bow (it is written in the Book of Jashar) II Samuel 1:18 Annals of the Kings of Judah (II Kings 14:18) Annals of the Kings of Israel (II Kings 15:11) Joshua speaking to the sun and the moon…

  9. Mark 11:22-23 "Have faith in God!  I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him."

  10. Reflections: We are only seeing temporal judgments on God’s enemies. temporal = those things experienced in time as we know it

  11. Reflections: We are only seeing temporal judgments on God’s enemies. temporal = those things experienced in time as we know it I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town... Matthew 10:15

  12. Reflections: We are only seeing temporal judgments on God’s enemies. temporal = those things experienced in time as we know it I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town... Matthew 10:15 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.  Matthew 11:22

  13. The day when the Lord listened to a man…!

  14. Mark 11:22-23 "Have faith in God!  I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. "

  15. “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24 We must ask in faith. We must pray expectantly. We must remember the larger context of Scripture: 1. God will only respond according to His will and for His glory. 2. God will only respond for our ultimate good. (Christlikeness - Romans 8:29)

  16. “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

  17. Have faith in God! Mark 11:22
