But Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Yes—and if you embrace this kingdom life and don't doubt God, you'll not only do minor feats like I did to the fig tree, but also triumph over huge obstacles. This mountain, for instance, you'll tell, 'Go jump in the lake,' and it will jump. Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large, as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God." ~ Matthew 21:21-22 ~ (emphasis added)
A few points:
1. Lay Hold of God...everything else falls into place.
2. Embrace The Kingdom Life and don't doubt. If we ever find ourselves doubting what Christ says, then we need a reality check. I believe sometimes that the main reason we doubt is because we begin to think that we are God. We must remember God is our creator, we are not His.
3. Triumph - look, if Jesus says we will have triumph over huge obstacles, then I am going all out and will take every challenge head on. Who are you going to believe? Jesus, yourself, culture?
4. Jesus pays attentions to details. He says "Absolutely Everything, ranging from small to large." Next time we think something is too small to pray about or that God has other concerns on His mind than us, then we must repent for putting our limitations on God...then we must Praise Him for His abilities and bring our request to Him for His Glory!
5. Believe when you Pray. It is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11.6). We must believe in Him.
