Mark 11:23

23 and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake' - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done.

Mark 11:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:23

For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto
this mountain
The Mount of Olives, at, or near which they now were,

be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
that is, of Galilee, which was nearest, and yet many miles off:

and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass;
not only as to removing a mountain, and casting it into the sea, but any thing equally difficult;

he shall have whatsoever he saith:
whatever he commands shall be done; (See Gill on Matthew 21:21).

Mark 11:23 In-Context

21 Peter, remembering what had happened the previous day, said to him, "Rabbi, look - the fig tree you cursed is shriveled up!"
22 Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it,
23 and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake' - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done.
24 That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything.
25 And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it's not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive - only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins."
