Faith Through Words
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:22-23).
Scripture Reading Mark 11:12-14; 20-24
Faith Through Words
Faith through words. Speak things to be as God did. What you say matters. God created the world with his word (Gen. 1:3; Heb. 11:3; Ps. 33:6). He calls things to be through words (Rom. 4:17). He said we will have what we say if we don’t doubt (Mark 11:23). The enemy of faith through words is doubt and unbelief (Matt. 17:19-20). Your words control your environment (Luk. 10:5-6). Your words control your actions (Jam. 3:2-6; Josh. 1:8). Your words work for you or against you (Matt. 12:33-37; Rom. 10:10; 1 Pet. 3:10; Prov. 6:2; 13:2-3; 18:21; 21:23). Words can build you up or tear you down (Rom. 10:17; Prov. 15:4; Eph. 4:29).
