For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:23-24, NKJV)
Notice that verse 23 mentioned "say" for three times, and once for "pray" in verse 24. We've got to speak, say, prophesy to our mountains, problems or situations after we pray. Praying is one thing, speaking is another. We are operating in faith when we speak, because our proclamations have power. Words have power. When God said, "Let there be light," light came into existence. He spoke the universe and all creations into being. That's the power of spoken words (proclamation). And Jesus said, when we speak with faith, it will be as we said. Faith has to be the essence of our words as well. "To speak or say" is an action word. And in James 2:17 it is written, "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." We see that these two go hand in hand together, and become powerful when rightly used.
Let us speak to any mountain that is hindering or stumbling us towards the goal which has been set before us, with faith, we shall see the rewards and results of the promise of God!
