Mark 11:14 "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat the fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it."
Notice that this verse says that Jesus "answered" this fig tree.
The tree had not spoken to Him verbally but it communicated that it had figs by the leaves on it. It is a fact that a fig tree should have figs by the time the leaves are evident. A fig tree actually produces green figs before the leaves appear and if no figs are produced by that time, then the tree will not have any figs that year. This fig tree was professing something that it didn't have even though it was still too early for figs.
Not only plants, but other things can communicate with us too. Circumstances can tell you that you have failed. Your body can tell you that your prayer didn't work - the Lord didn't heal you, etc.
You need to follow Jesus' example and answer these things with a positive statement of your faith.
What good could it do to talk to a tree or an inanimate object?
God created the heavens, the earth, and everything that is in the earth, by His words (Heb. 11:3).
The whole creation was made by and responds to words. Our words, when spoken in faith, release either life or death (Prov. 18:21). They also affect people, things, and circumstances.
We can release the power that is in faith by our words.
Speaking God's Word in faith brings the Holy Spirit into action.
In Luke 4, when Jesus was tempted by the devil for forty days, it was the Word of God that Jesus used to defeat the enemy at His temptation. We must take advantage of God's Word by placing it in our hearts so that the Holy Spirit may bring it forth at the appropriate time to accomplish a complete and total victory.
Speak to that mountain in your life.
** Here is where we can come to understand how words are power. Plus there are often certain indications in nature which display information! It is imtportant to realize what is happening!
The key is to apply Prov 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue
