20. For if you have the least true belief and trust in my Power and Will for the working of any such miracle as I commission you to work, if it were as hard as the removing of a mountain, it should not be too hard for you.
Note, It is not faith but presumption which hath no promise of success, if they or any are confident of working any miracle which Christ never commissioned or called them to work, or Promised his blessing to.
21. Howbeit, this kind goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.
