I read the passages you spoke to, and as I understood, all spoke to faith.
But the scriputres also spoke to how the power known by faith, comes from God Our Father, in Jesus, made available to us by faith.
Im still not sure the question you are asking, but will answer to what I think it may be.
The power to move mountains by faith, does not have self in it, but self is set aside.
For faith of a mustard seed, perfected, does not live in flesh, but in Jesus's Spirit, which is where we live when we set self aside for Him.
I wonder why you brought up the fig tree, maby to show how faith reqires action, that step forward for the goal or anothers' salvation, even when one cannot see it at all.
That is the work of faith, even though not seeing, in faith acting stepping forward in Jesus's Spirit.
That is why the mountain can be moved, because it is not about a mountian, but about the impossible being done by faith in Jesus.
But again, not by our power but by God's.
You see, It is His power that gives me the streangth every day to keep going.
My dr told me that her patients with the same symptoms as I, were all in wheel chairs due to the leval of pain they suffered, for it is crippleing.
This is the mountain moved in my life.
For , I know in Jesus, God is greater, for each day I get up and live the life God asks of me, not because of the flesh that seeks by pain to cripple and destroy His gift.
But because of His Spirit in which I live, which is more powerful and overcomes any flesh.
As to the fig tree and why it was cursed, it bore no fruit.
For faith must be lived in order to bare fruit.
Something I have often pondered, in psalms I believe, it speaks to perfect faith being imovable, like mount zion.
Yet in the NT, Jesus speaks to faith moving mountains.
Ive pondered why it is used in so opposit a way.
Then last night this was set upon me.
A diamond is the hardest stone, and when cut perfected.
It also takes a diamond to cut another diamond.
Basially, it takes a perfect diamond, to perfect the imperfect diamond, so to perfect the imperfect.
Or the perfect mountain to move a mountian.
(sorry about my spelling), anyway, I hope I answered your question, but if not, just try asking again, as sooner or later I should get it.
God bless
