The following verses are printed directly from the King James Version of the bible.  Underneath each verse in italics is my interpretation of what the verse says, simplified for those of you that don't like Old English

Mark 11:22-24 - "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye recieve them, and ye shall have them."

*And Jesus answered His apostles, saying "No matter who you are, if you command a mountain to move and be cast into the sea, it will be done if you do not doubt.  No matter what you pray, if you believe it's God's will and do not doubt Him, it will come to pass for you."*

NOTE:  Everyone, without exception, is promised everything he asks for in prayer, provided he qualifies for an answer.  When Jesus says "Have faith in God", a literal translation from the Greek scripture reads "Have the faith of God".  This is possible to do or it wouldn't be a command from Jesus.  Man was created with God's faith, but doubt entered at the fall (Genesis 3:1-7).  Faith is restored in the new birth, and if it is normally exercised and maintained, it will grow to fullness and power again.

 

2 Corinthians 5:7 - "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"

*Live your life by trusting that God will take care of you.  Don't let your own understanding guide you.*

 

James 2:26 - "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also."

*Your body without a spirit is dead, just like your faith in God is if you do nothing with it.  What good is faith if you don't do anything with it?*
