And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.This is probably one of the hardest verses for me to deal with in the Bible. I'm an engineer, and deal in math and science. My head says it's impossible that a mountain could be flung into the sea by any force man wields. Therefore I always doubt such a thing is possible.
However, there is a note in the next verse (though I try not to reference other verses) that help me explain this. It says such power comes through prayer. If one is praying, one is trying to line oneself up with God's will. And God's will would not be for His power to be used like that, because it's not needed. If God wants to get someone's attention, He will, but it doesn't need to be by such means.
