Please reference the material that proves your statement, I would believe the only place that could supply such references would be the Bible.

By your command:
John 14:12-1 (CJB) = "12 Yes, indeed! I tell you that whoever trusts in me will also do the works I do! Indeed, he will do greater ones, because I am going to the Father. 13 In fact, whatever you ask for in my name, I will do; so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me for something in my name, I will do it."

I kindly suggest that as a believer you should read and understand the fairy tale that you profess to believe in.
This is an interesting passage because Jesus clearly states that believers who trust in him can do all of the things that were attributed him. So give it a try. Walk on water on a nice summer day. Lay your hands on the sick and paralyzed and cure them. Cast out demons. That guy who just killed those people in California could have used your help in ridding himself of the pesky demons that infected him. Make a spit ball of mud and cure a blind person by placing it on his eyelids. Go levitate a mountain. Go resurrect a corpse that has been dead for four days.
Now, if you can't do those things and more how can you trust Jesus when he said that he will give you whatever you ask for in prayer?
