Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew 12:34-35
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 are 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 a 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 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.
SPEAK FAITH OR STAY SILENT
What does it mean to walk by Faith?
It means to walk with our mind set on God, on His WORD, and His Will.
It means to be God-aware.
It means to keep God’s Armor on to defeat every attack of the enemy.
t means to take on the fruit of the spirit every day, no matter what comes.
It means to be the love of God in the earth to others.
When that happens, it won’t matter what the circumstances look like. You will know you have what you have been believing for and the devil himself won’t be able to talk you out of it. You will cross the line from hope to Faith, and you will start seeing those mountains move!
