Faith gives substance to your hope

Mark 5:25-29: The woman with the issue of blood had suffered for twelve years and had spent all she had on many doctors without getting better. In fact she grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the press behind, and touched Jesus’ garment, “for she said, ‘If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.’ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague

Many times we look at the mountains facing us and we speak about them instead of speaking to them. God’s Word is greater than any mountain. God’s Word is His promise to you that He wants you to prosper, spirit, soul and body. Our Lord said that you can have what you say if you have faith. So before you speak, remember that the words you speak frame your daily life. Speak the Word of God in faith.

Faith gives substance to the promises of God. Faith creates.

Speaking God's Word in faith brings the Holy Spirit into action.

Circumstances and situations are always speaking to us. Our victory over them is to answer them with a statement of faith. Is your body telling you that your prayer didn't work or that the Lord didn't heal you? Whatever you are going through, answer with a positive statement of faith. 1 John 5:4

You may be wondering why we answer non-speaking things or even inanimate objects! In Mark 11:14 Jesus demonstrates that this tree was communicating with Him.
"And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it." Let’s follow His example and answer them with authority and not with fear.
Prov. 18:21 says that your words will release either life or death. All creation (including people) responds to words because that’s how God made it.

Speaking God's Word in faith brings the Holy Spirit into action. In Luke 4, when Jesus was tempted by the devil, Jesus used the Word of God to defeat the enemy at His temptation.
Keep God's Word in your heart (Proverbs 4:20-23) so that the Holy Spirit may bring it forth at the appropriate time.

Speak God's Word in faith to that mountain in your life. Mark 11:22-23
