We felt that the fig tree represents Jerusalem; it no longer bares fruit. When asked about his power to curse the fig tree, Jesus told them about the power of prayer and said that if you had faith you could move a mountain. Some of us felt that, while it was true, would a true believer waste their prayers on trying to win the lottery? No; a true believer would pray for the healing, protection, and spiritual growth of loved ones and others and how do we know those prayers aren’t being fulfilled? Remember; however, before you seek to examine the success of your prayers (and therefore the strength of your faith), Jesus said (Luke 4:12), "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."
