THINGS OBEY WORDS.

“Verily I say unto you, that whoever 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.” (Mk 11:21, 23)

Jesus did not demonstrate His command to the fig tree to wither away just to prove that He was the Son of God. (See Mk 11:12-14) He demonstrated it and then told His disciples that they too could speak words of power. (Mk 11:21-23)  He wanted us to have the revelation that when we are born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, that we have the same power that He has, and we can speak to the mountains in our lives, and they have to obey us.

In the natural, words are energy and ENERGY AFFECTS MATTER! There have been many experiments made with plants reacting to kind words or curses. The same experiments have been done with water, and the reactions in the water are astonishing. “Things” react to our spirits and our words. The same is true with our bodies.

Remember when the Centurion said to Jesus,

“or I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it…I am not worthy that You should come under my roof: but speak the Word only, and my servant shall be healed.” (Mt 8:8, 9) “And when Jesus heard it, He marvelled and said to them that followed, ‘Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith’“. (Mt 8:10) He was saying, “This man GOT IT!” You have authority through your words. You will have what you say. Why? Because your words carry energy.

One of the reasons that it’s often hard believing this principle, is that generally it takes a long time for outcomes of our spoken words to manifest from the unseen into this “seen realm”. It especially takes a long time when you dig up your seed every day to see if anything is happening yet! That is often a mistake made in prayer. We pray a prayer and then wait a day or two and when we don’t see an immediate result, we say, “Oh well, it didn’t work.”

The seed will produce in its time if you leave it alone. The true approach to prayer is to say, “It will work because I believed it when I prayed, and I’ll leave it there until it produces its fruit.” Jesus said, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (Mark 11:24) And again He said, “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing (then), ye shall receive them.” (Mat 21:22)

Praying without ceasing means ALL DAY LONG…  Are you speaking curses to your checkbook? Are you telling it to dry up from the roots?  How about your children?  What are you telling them? They will obey your “prophecies” of failure and delinquency. Our words carry power and energy.

If you really believe Jesus’ Words, you will monitor your thoughts and conversations, because YOU are the one giving SUBSTANCE to your world through WORDS spoken in faith!
