Fig Tree

Jesus and his disiples where walking along the road when they cam across a fig tree. As they got closer they saw that the fig tree was in bloom and full of leaves. Looking for the fruit of the tree (Figs) they found there was none. Jesus decided that there must be something wrong with the fig tree and said ''+This Fig Tree is not baring fruit, something is wrong'' then he spoke to the tree ''Fig tree, let no man eat from you again'' (or something like that)

The disiples where amazed as they watch the fig tree die and lose all its leaves. ''How did the fig tree wither so quickly'' They asked..

Jesus Replied, ''Truly I tel you this, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to the mountaian 'Go throw yourself into the sea' and it will be done. If you believe, you will recivewhat ever you ask for in prayer''

Matthew 21 v 21 and 22.

Now Im thinking that this story is pretty important to the Christian faith. I dont recall hearing this story in all my years of going to sunday school (though I probably just didnt listen). What Jesus is saying is that when you pray Go listens and if you truely belive that god will answer then you can expect it to happen.

Im not saying start praying for big houses, fast cars and loads of money. Jesus was talking about stuff that goes along with his teaching and stuff that can do good. He promises the best and the best is what you can expect when you truly believe.

Im gonna mention again something I dont think every christian understands. As a christian you have the Holy spirit within you, the same spirit as what enabled Jesus to Turn water into wine, help the blind to see and raised him from the dead. Please dont think im telling you to start your own wine company or to become a eye doctor. What the bible says is that things we ask for should be in accordance with the bible and the good of others.

Ofcourse belif is learnt through seeng and hearing. but it can also be be about trusting.
