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.[/TD]

[TD="colspan: 3, align: left"]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 wedon’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 be financially supplied—2 Corinthians 8:9. So lack, 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![/TD]

Digging deeper to what is really being said here is crucial to understanding. When Jesus said those words in Mark 11:23 He certainly didn't mean to say you have asked for a million gold pieces and it shall be done unto you. No, He didn't say that. He was stating a faith principle that over time takes effect in our lives. Walking by faith and not by sight.

Knowing who we are IN Christ changes our lives. Knowing the promises gives us the ability to pray correctly. Not knowing them we have no ability to pray correctly. For instance., is Jesus my Good Shepherd or am I alone in this world left to fend for myself? Jesus IS my Good Shepherd and I am not left alone to fend for myself. So I will not treat myself or life as if I am alone but I will proceed in the truth and know I am loved and provided for. I will make decisions based on that truth and walk forward.

Life is a major mystery and we don't know why things happen the way they do. But I can believe the truth and the promises because of the good Heavenly Father Who allows us to move forward with confidence in this constantly changing situation called life because of Jesus His Son providing the Way. yaaayyy
