KEY #3: PRAY IN FAITH:
Note how in the following passage, Jesus emphasizes that we must have faith, trust and believe in what we are praying. Jesus is conveying via his example of moving a mountain that we should never think small! Don’t rationalize; just pray believing for an awesome, limitless God to do things we can’t even begin to fathom:
“Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Mat 21:21-22)
