Matthew 21:13
And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.
my house is to be named a house of
prayer my house is to be named a House
of Prayer the words of the Lord the
words of the Lord my house is to be
named a House of Prayer so we pray Lord
that all of us who are your house for we
are living stones all of us who are
inhabited by you Lord may always seek to
do your will
through prayer to do whatever needs to
be done through prayer
not through the ways of the world but
through prayer having faith that you
Lord react to our prayers because we
pray your word Lord because we pray to
you Lord because it is your spirit in us
Lord who prays Lord we thank you Lord
for being part of your house we thank
you Lord in Jesus mighty me amen
Matthew 21 Matthew 21 Lord give us your
word speak with your voice speak unto
the hearts of those who are under the
power of your voice in Jesus mighty name
amen Matthew 21 verse 1 and when they
were near Jerusalem and had come to
Bethpage to the Mount of Olives Jesus
sent two disciples saying to them saying
to them go into the little town in front
of you and straight away straight away
you will
see an ass with a cord round her neck
and a young one with her let them loose
and come with them to me and come with
them too
and if anyone and if anyone says
anything to you you will say the Lord
has need of them and straightaway he
will send them now this took place so
that these words of the Prophet might
come true say to the daughter of Zion
see your King comes to you gentle and
seated on an ass and on a young ass and
the disciples went and did as Jesus had
given them orders and got the ass and a
young one and put their clothing on them
and he took his seat on it and all the
people put their clothing down in the
way and others got branches from the
threes and put them down in the way and
those who went before him and those who
came after gave loud cry saying glory to
the son of David a blessing on him who
comes in the name of the Lord glory in
the highest and when he came into
Jerusalem all the town was moved saying
who is this and the people said this is
the Prophet Jesus from Nazareth of
Galilee and Jesus went into the temple
and sent out all who were there trading
over turning the tables of the
moneychangers and the seats of those
trading in doves and he said to them it
is in the writings my house is to be
named a house of prayer but you are
making it a hole of thieves and a blind
and a broken and body came to him in the
temple and he made them well but when
the chief
priests and the scribes saw the works of
power which he did and the children
crying out in the temple glory to the
son of David they were angry and said to
him have you any idea what these are
saying and Jesus said to them yes have
you not seen in the writings from the
lips of children and babies and the
breasts you have made your praise
complete and he went away from them and
went out of the town of Bethany and was
there for tonight no in the morning when
he was coming back to the town he had a
desire for food and seeing a fig tree by
the wayside he came to it and saw
nothing on it but leaves only and he
said to it let there be no fruit from
you from this time forward forever and
straightaway the fig tree became dry and
dead and when the disciples saw that
they were saw it they were surprised
when the disciples saw it they were
surprised saying how did the fig tree
become dry in so short a time
and Jesus in answer said to them truly I
say to you if you have faith without
doubting not only may you do what has
been done to the fig tree but even if
you say to this mountain be taken up and
put into the sea it will be done an
important thing for all to realize
everyone questioned the authority of
Christ because they did not realize that
from the beginning was the word and the
Word was with God and the Word was God
and the word became flesh and dwelt
among us for a while who gave you this
authority he is the authority
blessed be our Lord and what many still
fail to see is that doubting doubting
kills kills the power of the Word of God
truly I say to you if you have faith
without doubting faith without doubting
not the right text not the right words
not the right robes not the right
ancestry not the right blessing from
this one or that one not the right
anything
remember he healed even a woman whom he
called dog if you have faith without
doubting not only me you do what has
been done to the fig tree what I have
done what he did but even if you say to
this mountain be taken up and put into
the sea it will be done
realize that the authority is by faith
by faith you have access to that
authority by faith he works through you
by faith and all things whatever you
make requests for in prayer having faith
you will get all things whatever you
make requests for in prayer having faith
without doubt you will get and what
come into the temple the chief priests
and those in authority over the people
came to him while he was teaching and
said by what authority do you do these
things and who gave you this authority
and Jesus said to them an answer I will
put one question to you and if you give
me the answer I will say by what
authority I do these things the baptism
of John where did it come from from
heaven or from men and they were
reasoning among themselves saying if we
say from heaven he will say to us why
then did you not have faith in him but
if we say from men we are in fear of the
people because all take John to be a
prophet you see they were giving each
other authority look around you they
were giving each other authority it was
bad Dan it is bad now and they gave each
other authority to make it a Dan well a
place where they collect money yet what
we need is a house of prayer and I don’t
mean a place to pray I don’t mean a
corner on the internet to pray I don’t
mean a building to pray we are the house
of the Lord I mean that we should pray
without doubting blessed be our Lord
blessed be our Lord for it is not up to
men to give each other authority
spiritual authority but all authority
comes from 1 Peter said as to whose
orders we will follow
we will do what God tells us to do you
be the judge of that
Matthew 21 verse 27 and they made answer
and said we have no idea who where the
baptism of John came from then he said
to them and I will not say to you by
what authority I do these things but how
does it seem to you a man had two sons
and he came to the first and said son go
and do work today in the vine garden and
he said an answer I will not but later
changing his decision he went and he
came to the second and said the same and
he made answer and said I go sir and
went not which of the two did his
father’s pleasure those who do the will
of God not those who give lip service
they say the first jesus said to them
truly I say to you that tax farmers and
loose women are going into the kingdom
of God before you for John came to you
in the way of righteousness and you had
no faith in him but attacks farmers and
the loose women had faith in him faith
and you when you saw it did not even
have regret for your sins so as to have
faith in him give ear to another story a
master of a house made a vine garden and
put a wall round it and made a place for
crushing out the wine and made a tower
and lets it out to field workers and
went into another country and when the
time for the fruit game near he sent his
servants to the workman to get the fruit
and the workmen made an attack on his
servants giving blows to one putting
another to death and strolling another
again he sent other servants more in
number than the first and they did the
same to them but after death he sent his
son to them saying they will have
respect for my son
but then the workman when the workman
saw the son they said among themselves
this is he who will one day be the owner
of the property
come let us put him to death and take
his heritage and they took him and
driving him out of the vine garden put
him to death when then the Lord of the
vine garden comes what will he do to
those work when they see to him he will
put those school man to a cruel death
and will let out the vine garden to
other workmen who will give him the
fruit when it is ready Jesus says to
them did you ever see in the writings
the stone which the builders put on one
side the same has been made the chief
stone of the building this was the
Lord’s doing and it is a wonder in our
eyes for this reason I say to you the
kingdom of God will be taken away from
you and will be given to a nation
producing the fruits of it any man
falling on this stone will be broken but
he on whom it comes down will be crushed
to dust and when his stories came to the
ears of the chief priests and the
Pharisees they saw that he was talking
of them
and though they had a desire to take him
they were in fear of the people because
in their eyes he was a prophet blessed
be your Lord blessed be our Lord I pray
that at all times in all things you may
turn to the Lord in prayer in full faith
without doubting that he will do what is
best for you blessed be our Lord for we
are his house living stones a house of
prayer I pray that your day may be
blessed that whatever you lay put your
hand to today may go well for you in
Jesus mighty name amen
