Mark 11:23
23For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
God says that we will have
whatever we say. So whatever we want to have, we can say it and have it.
Unfortunately, we often say what we don’t want to have.
For example, we say, “I don’t know
why I go through my money so fast every month. Even when my boss gives
me an increment, there never seems to be enough money.” And true enough,
we see a lack of money at the end of every month.
You see, you will have whatever you
say, good or bad. So why not change what you have been saying to, “From
now on, I will have more than enough because Jesus became poor at the
cross, so that I might become rich — 2 Corinthians 8:9. So poverty, be
gone in Jesus’ name!”
Whatever mountain of difficulty you
have, be it a mountain of debt or serious health condition, Jesus says,
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
Jesus highlights the importance of
saying by mentioning the word “say” thrice, but the word “believe” only
once. Our problem today is that there is more preaching on believing
than saying. So the reason people find it hard to walk in faith is that
they are not saying enough of the Word.
But if we would focus more on saying
God’s Word, faith will come. That is how God quickened Abraham’s faith.
He changed Abraham’s saying when He changed his name from Abram to
Abraham, which means “father of many nations”. (Genesis 17:5) From then
on, whenever Abraham introduced himself, he would say, “Hi, my name is
Father Of Many Nations."
Beloved, declare your abundance,
saying, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1) Speak
forth your healing, saying, “By Jesus’ stripes I am healed!” (Isaiah
53:5) And you will have whatever you say!
