Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them, that your Father who is in Heaven may also forgive your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.
NOTE: NKJV LASB Forgiving others is tough work– so much so, that many would rather do something totally distasteful than offer forgiveness to someone who has wronged them. A person praying while bearing a grudge, however, is like a tree sprouting and bearing no fruit (11:13). True faith changes the heart. Real prayer dismantled pride and vengeance, filling the wholes with love. Real faith seeks peace. For our Churches to have prayer power, harmony and forgiveness must be evident in the body of Believers. Letting go of grudges and Forgiving others. NOTE: Mark 11:22-25 NKJV LASB
The kind of prayer that moves mountains is prayer for the fruitfulness of God’s kingdom. It would seem impossible to move a mountain into the sea, So Jesus used that illustration to show that God can do what we consider impossible. God will answer your prayers, but not as a result of your positive mental attitude. Other conditions must be met (1) You must be a believer (2) You must not hold a grudge against another person. (3) You must not pray with selfish motives. (4) Your prayer must be for the good of God’s kingdom. To pray effectively you need to pray with faith in God. Not faith in the object of your prayer. If you focus on your request, you will be left with nothing, if your request is refused.
