Mark 11:23, 24 - “Have faith in God. For verily (truly) 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 says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says. 24. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.” This is one of my most favorite scriptures. It was the scripture the Lord led Bro. Kenneth E. Hagin to when he received his healing at 16 years old on his death bed. He taught on those scriptures many times through the years, giving his testimony. Jesus is instructing us to have faith in God, to trust Him, to believe in Him. After all, He is our Creator, our Heavenly Father and Savior. Why should we not believe in Him, in His Word? It is really not hard to have faith. Jesus says if we believe and not doubt in our heart, we can have what we say. But we have to say it! The Lord told Bro. Hagin, His people did not have trouble in believing, it was the “saying”. You can see in the scripture above believe is mentioned only one time, but say and saysis mentioned several. The Lord says that we can speak to the mountains in our life and command them to leave and they have to leave. When we pray, we believe that we receive what we are praying for right then. Faith is believing we have it before we see it. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” – II Corinthians 5:7. It’s sad to say many Christians do not know about Mark 11:23-24. They go about their daily lives saying what the world says. They are not saying what God says. As we spend time in the Word of God, putting it first place in our lives and making it the final authority; our way of life begins to line up with God’s Word. And His Words that we have deposited in our hearts comes out in our conversation( our way of living} and (speaking/saying and believing). “ For to be carnally (fleshly, worldly) minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” - Romans 8:6. In Proverbs 4:20-24the Lord explains to us how important it is to feed on His Word and keep it going into our hearts and speaking it out of our mouths: 20. “My son, attend to My Words; incline your ear unto my sayings. 21. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. 23. Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 24. Put away from you a froward (foul) mouth, and perverse lips put far from you.” If the Word of God dwells big on the inside of us, we can speakto those mountains in our life and they will have to move ! Jesus is speaking in John 15:7, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you”. Words are powerful! So, what are you saying? Whatever you are saying is what you believe and have faith in. If you are not a Christian, or if you are, but are not familiar as much as you should be with the Word of God; then the words you are speaking are worldly and affecting your life in a negative way. Proverbs 6:2 says “You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken (captive) with the words of your mouth”. I think it was Charles Capps that said, “What you are speakingtoday is what you will become tomorrow”. Someone else said, “ If you don’t like the way your life is going, check out what you are saying”. And just the other day I heard Gloria Copeland say , “When you are speaking, you are sowing”. Words are seeds. The words you are speaking are seeds you are planting in the ground of your heart (spirit). God’s Word is a seed. Make sure you are sowing His Word into your life and your future will be bright. u Quinnelle McRae Glad Tidings Ministries gladtdings1@windstream.net 2 GLAD TIDINGS OCTOBER 2025 Non-denominational Christian Newspaper Sharing the Gospel of Jesus the Christ MAIL P.
