Words won’t work without faith
any more than faith will work without words! It takes them both to put
the law of faith in motion.
Many believers don’t realize that.
They’ll continually speak words of doubt and unbelief, then they’ll jump
up one day and say a couple of faith words and expect mountains to
move—and to their dismay, they don’t.
Why not?
Because as
Matthew 12:34-35 says, it’s the words that come from the heart that
produce results. The person who just throws in a couple of faith words
now and then isn’t speaking them from the abundance of his heart, so
they’re not effective.
Does that mean you shouldn’t start speaking words of faith until you’re sure you have the faith to back them?
No!
Speaking words of faith is good spiritual exercise. If you want to
receive healing by faith, for example, fasten your mind and your mouth
on the Word of God where your health is concerned. Instead of talking
about how miserable you feel, quote Isaiah 53:5. Say, “Jesus was wounded
for my transgressions. He was bruised for my iniquities. The
chastisement of my peace was upon Him; and with His stripes, praise God,
I was healed!”
If you’ll continue to meditate on those words and
continue to say them, the truth in them will begin to sink in. They’ll
take root in your heart and begin to grow. And eventually you really
will be speaking from the abundance of your heart.
When that happens, it won’t matter what the circumstances look like. You’ll
know you
have what you’ve been believing for and the devil himself won’t be able
to talk you out of it. You’ll cross the line from hope to faith, and
you’ll start seeing those mountains
move!
