Maybe it’s because you don’t really have confidence in them. Maybe you believe in God’s words all right, but you don’t believe in your own. When it comes to operating in the God kind of faith, that can be a real problem.
Look at Mark 11:23 and you’ll see what I mean. There, Jesus said: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever 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 saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
Notice that for faith to do what it’s designed to do, you have to stay in The WORD until you believe in your heart that what you say is coming to pass. You have to get to the point where you have confidence not just in the power of God’s words but in the power of your words.
How do you develop that kind of confidence?
The same way you develop faith for anything else. You feed on what the Bible says about the matter. You read and meditate on scriptures like these:
• “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37)
• “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” (Luke 6:45)
• “A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth…. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.” (Proverbs 13:2-3)
• “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.” (Proverbs 15:4)
• “A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:20-21)
