A Miracle in Your Mouth!
by Kenneth Copeland
I’m about to make a statement you might find a bit startling—especially coming from a faith preacher like me. But I want it to mark your thinking, so I’m going to say it very bluntly: It takes more than just faith in your heart to bring The WORD of God to pass in your life.
Yes, you read that correctly.
As important as faith is, just because God said something and you believe it, does not guarantee it will become a manifested reality for you.
Certainly, believing is essential. Hearing The WORD of God until faith comes is a vital first step. But if you really want to see all the provisions and promises of God fulfilled in your life, you can’t stop with just believing them.
You have to turn your believing into speaking! You have to release the faith in your heart by saying words with your mouth. As Romans 10:10 says: “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
That’s the way you receive everything from God—from the new birth to healing to financial prosperity. You believe His WORD with your heart AND confess it with your mouth.
Why is the confessing part so important?
Because we live in a word-created, word-dominated universe. It was brought forth by faith-filled words. It was designed by God to respond to them from the very beginning, and that’s never going to change.
What can change, however, are the words under which you choose to live. You can either live under God’s WORD or the devil’s. You can either choose words of death and doubt; or you can choose words of life and be like the Apostle Paul who wrote: “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13).
“But Brother Copeland,” you might argue, “I tried that ‘saying’ business and it didn’t work for me!”
Sure it did. You said it didn’t work, and what you said came to pass. It didn’t work.

Points to Get You There:
You have to release the faith in your heart by saying words with your mouth. Here are some points to get you there:
1) Everything you receive from God comes as a result of believing and speaking His WORD. Romans 10:10
2) We live in a word-created, word-dominated universe. Hebrews 11:3
3) Words of faith activate spiritual laws that are as dependable as the law of gravity. Romans 8:2
4) To operate in the God kind of faith you must have faith both in God’s WORD and in your own words.
Mark 11:23
5) If you believe the truth and keep confessing it with your mouth it will change contrary facts. Joel 3:10
