So I asked the Lord, what makes my words so effective in the Spirit realm, because I know my words contain power and I don’t want to use them in error. He took me to Mark 11:22-24 GW “Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God! I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn’t doubt but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will be done for him. That’s why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours.”

The focus He showed me was in the very first part of verse 22, “Have faith in God!” and he ends it the same way in verse 24, “have faith” that you’ve already received it when you say it. Why is it we say, ‘seeing is believing’ but God says you won’t see it in the natural until you see it in the spiritual realm. Did you catch that. Who are we to have faith in? God. It’s never about our ability, it’s about His.

Wait, so he’s asking us to trust him completely even when we don’t see it for years? Correct! What does it matter to you, you’re merely a servant of the Lord sent to do his bidding, the rest is all on Him. It’s not ‘positive speaking’ I’m talking about here. This is about spending time listening and speaking what God tells you to speak. If we are to be His voice in the earth then we must speak His Word to the earth. Did you catch that? The Word spoken over the earth in your closet has power, you don’t have to be heard by anyone but God.

Faith doesn’t come any other way but hearing (Romans 10:17). Let me say it this way, faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing, but if you never open your mouth to speak it, you will never see what you say come to pass. Faith without works is dead (James 2:20), faith without proclaiming can’t activate the end result. What else do the angels have to do but listen for the Word of the Lord. It only takes a little yeast to cause the bread to rise and it only takes vision of who God is to speak with authority and expectation.

So nothing has happened yet. What are you doing focusing on what you want? Jesus walked away from the fig tree fully knowing that God had heard him. When he returned, it was done. Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit is saying to the Bride. No more selfish prayers! No more ‘I want, I want, I want!’ He said to believe you receive when you pray and you’ll have it. Stop trying to figure God out, he’s God! No matter how well you know Him, you’ll never know all of him until He reveals himself to you. Just seek him, thats all he asks of you, ‘Seek me and you’ll find me if you seek me with all your heart.’ He’s not hiding from you. He said if we knock, he’ll open the door and have fellowship with us.

I recently heard someone say, “Stop doing things the same way expecting different results!” Well I would say, stop looking at the problem and look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He set the example, we must follow. Have faith in God!
