“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.” –Mark 11:23
Once you take it in the spirit realm, you won’t see it in the natural realm yet. That’s what this next step of faith, I have it, is all about. It’s the power of have. That’s what you’re seeking, isn’t it? To have the things you need and desire. The definition of the English word “have” is “to possess, to own.” That’s easy to understand in the natural: When you hold the deed to a property in your hand, you know you have it!
It becomes something entirely different when you need to have something by faith. That’s why you’ve got to be so careful about what you say you have. Mark 11:23 says you’ll have what you say. What are you saying? Consider some of these common errors in speaking:
“I have a cold.”
“We’re having financial trouble.”
“I’ll never have a strong marriage.”
“I have crazy, rebellious children.”
If you find yourself saying these things, why are you talking like that? Your words can get you into a lot of trouble by cancelling out the will and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ that makes you an heir to His promises.
Instead, say these things:
“I don’t have sickness. Sickness is part of the curse, and Jesus has redeemed me. I have healing.”
“I have provision and financial blessing.”
“I have good health.”
“I have strong relationships.”
“I have children who love and honor the Lord.”
Whatever supernatural breakthrough you need, whatever you’re believing for—say it out loud— “I have it!”
To the opponents of faith, confessions like these “to them, are not realistic” but what many have forgotten or not understood through Jesus’ words is that: “he will have whatever he says.” If you say and keep confessing and receiving the doctors report, the negative news on media, the posture of your colleagues at work etc, you will have what you say! If your confession is in alignment with the word of God, God’s promises over your life, your godly desires etc., then equally, you will have whatever you say.
