Now why do you want a mountain to be flung into the sea?
To prove God hears you?
To elevate yourself in the estimation of others?
To avoid excavation costs?
If God was so inclined He could use a bunch of power for demonstration purposes that even the unbelievers would recognize....but then He wouldn't be God. God doesn't need anyone....or even a lot of people.
And that's the point....only a wicked generation asks for a sign.
I trust God to look after me and take care of me. It's up to me to work and try to be worthy of the title bestowed upon me and the effort He has gone through to provide me with salvation. Not pester Him for a bunch of magic tricks to prove my relationship with God to others.
God does what He wants, when He wants, how He wants, and for His reasons....not mine or yours. Jesus didn't turn the rocks into bread....but instead got fed later.
Look, it's a very scary thing to have God's attention. None of us are all that good to begin with. Only a fool would think otherwise.
Isaiah got to run around naked for 6 years before he got a prophet's death. Elijah was so miserable and distraught from his trials to where he just wanted to die after calling fire down from the sky. Jeremiah wasn't really all that happy either.
The life of being a prophet of God's is not one of health, wealth, and prosperity....it's heartbreaking and wrenching. Sure there's "magic" and miracles...but emotionally it is extremely taxing.

They do if the father tells the children, 'tell me what you would like me to do for you?'
It is written, herein is my father glorified, that she bear much fruit.
The point isn't in telling God what to do, but the glory God gets through the work he does for you through and by Christ Jesus, who is the living word of God.

Guess all the RED Xs means know1 does not have his own jet. Could be he is still learning how to scare and beg monies from old ladies. I dont get the refusal of the WoF guys that come around to go to the hospitals and pray the healing of those ill. They talk this big story yet millions died of covid. Thinking of Kenneth Copland rebuking a storm... what a joke, the weather is sin God's control that clown was rebuking God!

Unlike you, I gave my children, not only the things they needed, but the things they wanted. But more importantly, I taught and gave them love.
It is written, if you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall my father, which is in heaven, give good things to them (His children) that ask?
