PRESCRIBED SCRIPTURES FOR THE WEEK OF 9/17-9/23
- Monday, September 17, 2012 – Mark 11:24
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. (NLT)
Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
Therefore I say unto you,…. For encouragement in prayer more particularly, without which nothing should be attempted, and especially which is above the power of nature, and is of a miraculous kind:
whatsoever things ye desire when ye pray; that is, according to the revealed will of God, is for the confirmation of his Gospel, and for the glory of his name:
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them; the petitions that are desired, and the things asked in them: that is, be as much assured of having them, as if you had already received them, and you shall have them; for the sense can never be, that they should believe they received them before they had them; this would be a contradiction in terms; and Beza’s ancient copy, and one of Stephens’s copies read it, “believe that ye shall receive”, as in Matthew 21:22, and so the Vulgate Latin version; with which agree the Arabic and Ethiopic versions, which render it, “believe that ye shall enjoy”, or “obtain”; and the Syriac version, “believe that ye are about to receive”; and great faith it is so to believe; and this is the prayer of faith; see 1 John 5:14.
