Matthew 17:14-20, the parable of the Mustard Seed:
14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
15 "Lord, have mercy on my son," he said. "He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."
17 "You unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me."
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"
20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Faith can move mountains
"Faith can move mountains" is a proverb that suggests believing in oneself or a higher power can help overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It emphasizes the power of perseverance, determination, and positive thinking in achieving difficult goals.
Faith can move mountains.
WHEN seemingly impossible task is accomplished whose chance of happening is virtually zero,since barrier or block(actual or in mind) is infinitely great then faith or miracle must have moved mountain (that is metaphor for hindrance or block) !!!I base my response on the assumption you seek to understand the connotation "faith will move mountains" or can faith move mountains and when it is used? First, one must ascertain whether this is a literal meaning or comparative meaning. A mountain is a metaphor signifying a seemingly impossible task. The Bible employs many forms, or genres, of literature. There is historical narrative, poetry, prophecy, apocalyptic writing, and epistolary literature. Among these various literary genres is the literary technique known as a metaphor---a word for one idea or thing used in place of another to suggest a likeness between them (as in faith can move mountains). Faith that can move mountains is not meant to imply a faith that can literally move mountains. The point Jesus was making is that even a little bit of faith. Faith the size of a tiny mustard seed can overcome mountainous obstacles in our lives. The passages below allude to faith moving mountains:Matthew 17:20 (NKJV)So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.1Corinthians 13:2 (NKJV)And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Matthew 17:20 recounts Jesus saying "...Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."(NIV)(1 Corinthians 13:2)
We cant move mountains. Mountains move themselves
Matthew 17:20 [Full Chapter]He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
