Mark 11:22-24 (KJV)
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God, (or the God-kind of faith)..
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,(whatever the mountain is that you are facing today?)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.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Wow! Did you notice the emphasis that Jesus put on the words we speak versus our believing in what we pray? 4 times He addressed what we say. Whereas, He only addressed our believing 2 times. This shows us that what we say is twice as important, as to what we believe in seeing our prayers answered.
Why? Because out of the abundance of the heart, our mouth speaks.
*Lord Jesus, let me build myself up in You! By spending time in Your Word studying and praying/speaking in alignment with Your Word to see whatever this mountain is, being removed in my life.*
My friends, the more of the Word of God that we get down on the inside. The more its life will spring forth when we are facing a mountain in our life.
