This week Lesson 11 started out talking about deductive reasoning and seemed extra hard to get into. But it ended inviting us to sit with this compelling statement from the Bible in Mark 11-24. I wonder how I could have heard this ALL MY LIFE and not really had it soak in as far as it’s soaking in now. Maybe it hasn’t soaked in for you either?
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve always believed in the power of prayer and have always believed prayer is answered by a loving Creator who knows what’s best for us and when. But now I see that Mark heard Jesus saying four things. Desire WHATSOEVER. (Lesson 11 emphasizes that WHATSOEVER.) Then ask and believe. Then receive. Look at all these versions. No matter how it’s translated for us down the years, the message is the same! I invite you to read the verse over and over in all its nuances in the different translations. In the Master Key Experience I have certainly learned that repetition is invaluable when you want mind mastery.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith.
For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.

Mark 11:34
What I’m learning in the MKE is that emotion is key to the intensity of the desire, to the asking, to the believing–in order to receive! And I’m hearing incident after incidents among the Master Mind participants that this works!
Believe!
Yes, Roz! I’m so eager to do better and better myself at energizing BELIEF–and to help others do it, too.
It sounds so simple, doesn’t it, Roz? But it’s a verb and that means taking action!

Thanks, Rover John! I’m a blue, so all-over-the-place emotional. But I’m finding the key is to focus the emotion just as we focus the thought. Good a-ha.
