Mark 11: 22, 23 | 22 And Jesus answering said unto them, Have faith in God constantly 23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
.The first of these was a lesson about faith: (literally) “Be having faith in God.” The drying up of the fig tree had amazed the disciples; Jesus wanted them to understand that the truly amazing works are those done as a result of exercising faith in God. There are no limits on what can be accomplished as a result of one's faith in God, simply because there are no limits on what God can do and human faith provokes God to act. Mark 10:27 has already insisted that “with God all things are possible.”
A key factor in this promise lies in the words “does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass.” The verb “doubt” diakrino in the Greek, means, the same as “wavering” in James 1:6, linked with “double-mindedness” in v. 8. In other words, the condition for receiving what one prays for is faith—clearly stated, not implied.
Then whatever a person can express in unwavering faith will be done.
