Matthew 21: 18 In the morning, as Jesus was returning to Jerusalem, he was hungry, 19 and he noticed a fig tree beside the road. He went over to see if there were any figs, but there were only leaves. Then he said to it, ..“May you never bear fruit again!”.. And immediately the fig tree withered up.
20 The disciples were amazed when they saw this and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
21 Then Jesus told them, ..“I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen... 22 ..You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
I seriously doubt that Jesus was talking about making God a vending machine of magic tricks.
What I do believe He was talking about was that if we believe that we have working through us the Power which is God, the impossible becomes possible.
The question for all of us is this - do we really believe this?
