Jesus said to the woman, do you believe I can do this? She said yes, then Jesus said be it done for you according to your faith.
Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

What is this, in for a penny, or in for a pound?
Jesus said if one has enough faith, great faith, one can even move mountains. Specifically, strong faith could uproot a mountain and dash it into the sea. Quite a few think He did not really mean it, He was just speaking metaphorically. Probably for emphasis I guess. Who knows? I myself?

Jesus in John 6:24
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
The Lesser orbits the Greater |
This is the verse which caused many to leave Him, apparently for doctrinaire reasons. Rather not speak why at this moment but am not particularly inspired by doctrinaire reasons. Seems it is rather more like political positions, where they speak of one another who will obey the law but not the spirit of the law.

parables contain commandments
And his master praised the unrighteous steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. Luke 18:8
I always knew this but wondered why? What does Jesus mean here? That the world is smarter than we are? Looks like look-up item.

Jesus
.....every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment. Matt 32:36
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 This well suggests that one have a greater respect for the power of words. Words can build on power by themselves as well as destroy ourselves in a series of seeming acts of kneejerk compulsions .

The flesh cannot help us.....
It is the Spirit which gives life. The flesh will not help you. The things which I have told you are spiritual and are life. But some of you will not believe me. - For Jesus knew from the beginning which of his followers did not trust him and who was the man who would betray him. Then he added, "This is why I said to you, 'No one can come to me unless my Father puts it into his heart to come.'"
