Matthew 17:20. Was Jesus speaking about a literal "mountain"? Was He speaking about a non-literal "mustard seed"? I'm asking this because depending on your point of view, you'll have different results. E.g.: If the word "mountain" is figurative for "marital problems", then "move the mountain" can mean divorcing your spouse; if it's literal, then you'll have to believe this truth in Luke 1:37. Of course, between speaking to the mountain, "Move from here to there", and actually seeing the mountain move, it'll depend on the will of God and how big your faith is. Now, let's talk about the mustard seed: Matthew 13:31-32. Here Jesus is not only talking about the "size" of the mustard seed (least of all), but also the "life" that is in it, that if it is sowed it will become a tree. Pay attention to what Jesus says in Matthew 17:20 ...If you have faith AS a mustard seed. Think about this: How good is to have a mustard seed in your "pocket" and never sow it? Will it ever grow to become a tree in your pocket? Even if the mustard seed has the "potential" to become a tree, you still have to sow it, then it will develop to become a tree. James 2:26. When talking about faith, the process is the same as sowing, we must "work" our faith in order to grow it, STAGNANT FAITH BECOMES A DEAD FAITH! E.g.: If you say that you believe in Jesus Christ and His word (Bible) and you have unforgiveness in your heart, you are denying Jesus and your faith is dead. Why? Matthew 6:12,14-15. If you're feeling unforgiving right now, you probably have a "root" of unforgiveness in your heart and until you deal with it you won't feel forgiven, because if you don't forgive you won't be forgiven. Is your faith growing? Are you "walking" by faith (works)? Do you really want to please God? Hebrews 11:6.
