Prayer is My Possession

(Mk11:20-25)



God is the Owner.

By His word He made all things and is their Owner (Ps100:3; He11:3), and

By His blood He purchased all souls and is their Owner (Re5:9).



Faith is surrendering one's possession before Him, and

The life of this faith is putting effort to pray in order to secure the right that He gave.



"Ownership refers to the act, the state or the right of possessing ”

The right to possess not just wealth but also

Health, family, happiness, breath etc., and

The Bible indicates that it comes from God (Lk9:25).



Although all things belong to God for He made them in the beginning,

He has no regrets to burn them all at the end (2Pe3:7) because

His plan was to take the Son whom He would raise and make Him the heir of all things (He1:2), and

Also those made sons through Him (He2:10).



According to His plan He seized what He planned to seize:

He raised the Son whom He made the heir of all things (He1:2), and

Also pulls out those who became sons through Him.



Adam was tempted to be like God and sinned because

He became unmindful of the Owner (Ge3:5).

Thus he was banished from the Garden and lost ownership over things (Ge2:16, 3:24).



However, the Israelites who were owned by the pharaoh 430 years

Left Egypt with silver, gold and treasures (Ex12:35-36) for

God gave them the power to possess wealth (Dt8:18).

Furthermore whenever they faced battles and cried out to God (Nu21:2-3; Dt2:31; Jos6:16),

No nation or fighter could withstand them (Jos10:8) for

God had given them to the hands of Israel.



The sanctuary where the name of the Lord God was

Reminded them that when God gave them the promise of possession and they fought for it

They finally took possession.



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2:19), because

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,

He would become the Owner of all souls.

Though He is the incarnate Word from the beginning, the Son of God (Jn1:1, 14),

When He was in the flesh (He5:7),

He began each day by praying early in the morning (Mk1:35) because

He would use His ownership and possess all things for they were His (Jn17:6, 11-12).



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:

1)     Returned His life to the Father and confessed that the Father alone is the Owner (Lk23:46; Jn10:17-18; Php2:11);

2)     Condemned the devil who with lies made Adam his possession (Ge3:4; 1Jn3:8); and

3)     With His blood purchased the souls who had belonged to the devil and offered them to the Father (He2:15; Rev5:9).



The Father raised Him among the dead (Ac2:32), and

Gave Him all authorities of heaven and earth (Mt28:18), and

Sent the Holy Spirit and gave the name Yeshua to those who believe (Jn1:12, 14:26).



The believer is he who

Receives prayer as his possession (Mk11:24).

For whatever he believes and seeks will be received,

He fights until it comes true and

Finally conquerors answers.



O Lord,

What a great right we have!

By prayer

Let us leave this world with all those You have given us ”

Our family, souls, wealth etc.! Amen.
