Mark 11:25

And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

If I desire forgiveness, that is the complete removal of all negative karma in my life which are obstacles like a big mountain, I must not cling to thoughts of anger, hatred and jealousy in my mind.

Because I for my part do not desire God’s anger, but his certain loving compassion in forgiving me, just so I too must be compassionate to others. How else can he forgive me?

As for a hating man or a sorcerer, God will certainly not clear his sins.

Mark 11:20-24

As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Amazing! What Yeshu says is like lifting a mountain out of Tibet and dropping it into the Bay of Bengal On the other hand my faith is as small as a mustard seed. But Yeshu is emphasizing a great truth.

What to say then? Is there some great thing you want? Do you believe that God can do it for you? Is it your own liberation that you desire? or do you wish that your enemy’s crops be destroyed by hail?

Read on to find what God will do for you.

Mark 11:15-19

And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. And when evening came they went out of the city.

With vigorous forceful authority Yeshu sweeps clean the temple from being a huge emporium for wealthy money-changers  where simple pilgrims were made to pay high rates for their animals, and changes it for the rest of that long day from being a busy corridor for trade into a place for worshipping the Lord God, and a place where he could continue his teaching of the dharma.
