Condemnation Blocks the Blessing

Mark 11:20-26 (Today's New International Version)

20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23 "Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will happen, it will be done for you. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25-26 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

The word "doubt" in verse 23 --means self-condemnation-- in the Greek. The key to the release of the power of God is saying what you believe without condemnation is your heart.

Condemnation is the blessing blocker. Grace is the free gift that our Father has given all men to receive. Grace is Jesus Christ, not a doctrine. He is the Blessing and the Blessed.

Jesus is enough!! With His Son He freely gives us all things. Condemnation is erased when you see that you are not able to do anything of your own self effort. And the harder you try the more condemned you get. This was the entire reason God sent His Son, because we can do nothing independent of God. But glory be to God, He did it for us in HIM!!!

In the ages from Adam until now, man has struggled to make his own way. Even making confusion out of The Cross by mixing self effort with grace. Did you know that the word "BABYLON" means --confusion in mixing. Is it any wonder why "Babylon The Great Has Fallen" she prostitutes herself between two covenants. Hmmmmm, I wonder who this is speaking about. This Babylon sounds familiar. I'll leave that one to you and the Holy Spirit.

Grace is the Blessing, and condemnation comes from sin consciousness not Christ consciousness. "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."(Hebrews 9:14-15)

So today receive this abundance of grace that you my reign as a king in life.(Romans 5:17) A king reigns by His confident decree. What he say is without any self-condemnation. Be the King that you where born from above to be!!!

In HIM,

Apostle Maitland
