Daily Edifier: Something to Talk About

Something to Talk About

“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 things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” (Mark 11:23-24)

In the 1995 Julia Roberts movie Something To Talk About with Dennis Quaid the subject that was on her mind was her husband’s adultery. In the Bible, however, we have something to talk about only when we talk like God and speak His Word. Romans 4:17 says that God calls those things which be not as though they were, as if they already existed. God doesn’t wait for circumstances to change before He speaks. He causes them to exist because He speaks.

In the Book of Genesis He created heaven and earth simply by speaking His Word beginning with “Let there be light”and light comes into being. We as His dear children can do the same thing if we’ll make our words agree with God’s Word and speak them out loud by faith. That’s why it is so vitally important that we really know God’s Word intimately by meditating on these emails or our Bibles day and night so that we can speak the Word with authority as if we were the author God Almighty Himself.

Note that Jesus didn’t say, “Whoever says to God about this mountain.” He said we should speak to the mountain of sickness, debt or poverty the result that we expect. This may sound foolish to our carnal mind but 1 Corinthians 1:27 says that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. It’ll look foolish to the world when we talk as if what God has promised in His Word is true, especially when those promises of healing, restoration, deliverance, debt cancellation, wealth transfer, protection and prosperity appear to contradict the physical evidence around us.

But God’s Word is the final authority and the facts of life must succumb to the truth of the Word. If we want to keep the enemy defeated, that’s the kind of talking we’d better be doing. When Jesus spoke to the fig tree in Mark 11:14, He didn’t go back and see what happened. Once He had spoken it, He considered it done. If nothing happens right away, if we’re still broke, in debt, sick, addicted, lonely or oppressed after we speak the Word over our circumstances, then we just need to wait with patience for the words we speak will come to pass if they agree with God’s Word.
