Matthew 21:21-22: Faith to move Mountains
Notice that Jesus does NOT say, "I will give you whatever you want, no matter what." It takes faith and not doubt. We also must remember that, though God is gracious beyond measure, what we ask for must be within His perfect will in order for Him to answer our requests.
Also remember that James 5:16 reminds us that those who chose to live lives according to the ways of Jesus Christ are more likely have their prayers answers, not just those who call on God when it is convenient. (James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.)
(Matthew 21:21-22) Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, "If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
