Pray Expectantly

.We expect a lot from those we know, and they expect a lot from us. We want to come through for one another. Jesus expected to eat figs from a fig tree. When Jesus saw the tree was barren. He declared it would never bear fruit again. The tree immediately withered while Jesus disciples looked on in amazement. Jesus was using the miracle to demonstrate Israels spiritual barrenness. Like the fig tree, Israel had great potential to bear spiritual fruit but would face destruction of its failure to do so. But what does the fig tree have to do with prayer?Jesus reminded the disciples that faith can work miracles, even the movement of mountains. Faith and prayer can make it possible to bear fruit for God. We are to expect great things in prayer. God will not disappoint us. All believers should want to live with that kind of expectant faith.And all things, whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22 [KJV]..
