4.30-
23 When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?” 24 Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you one [d]thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?” And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the [e]people; for they all regard John as a prophet.” 27 And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
“Go jump into the lake.”
Are the strong words of Jesus at times to the religious big shots who
wanted to reject Him.
It is right to ask our big strong God for big things that we
want and need. If you believe that God
wants something for your life, then by all means its good to listen to Him and
speak to Him about it.

cast into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
