Mark 11:23 ‘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.’

Gloria Copeland is wife of Kenneth Copeland and co-founder of the Kenneth Copeland Ministries. She is an author, and minister of the Gospel, who is known worldwide for teaching millions of people the principles of faith.
Gloria Copeland’s own journey of faith was ignited in 1967, through a word she heard from the Lord. At that time, she and her husband had gotten newly born again. While Kenneth was studying at Oral Roberts University, Gloria stayed at home with their two small children and spent time listening to tapes about faith by Kenneth E. Hagin. One day she was typing some notes she had written about the power of faith-filled words, when she heard the Spirit of the Lord say this to her:
‘In consistency lies the power.’
That one phrase changed her life!
It helped her realize that to move mountains she needed to speak words of faith with patient consistency—all the time, over time. That was what would bring results.
At that time, they had been plagued with poverty and debts. So she and Kenneth began to focus on speaking words of faith against the mountain of debt they were facing.
Miraculously within 11 months, the staggering debts that plagued their lives were completely paid off!
Also they needed a car at that time, so they did the same thing and began to release their faith in God’s promise to supply all their needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
As they talked with great confidence and kept praising God for their new car, few months later, they indeed got the car!
Over time, they learned to receive many miracles including healing and deliverance through consistently speaking words of faith. The more they spoke God’s Word, the more His blessing expanded in their lives until their ministry became a global ministry that is greatly blessing many lives today.
Indeed to see success and progress, we need to consistently proclaim God’s Word against contrary situations.
What becomes of us is largely determined by the words we speak.
Our tongues are powerful weapons for confronting everything contrary to God’s will for us
As we consistently speak against negative conditions, gradually those mountains will begin to move.
We must never get tired of making confessions of faith because truly ‘in consistency lies the power’.
To be victorious in life’s battles we must learn to rise up vehemently against anti-covenant situations such as stagnation, sickness, poverty etc. To confront them, we speak God’s Word to establish His will and blessings in our lives.
Essentially, spiritual warfare is a war of words.
We do not allow contrary situations to continue to exist without confronting them with God’s Word.
Perhaps you have been too silent, that is why that negative situation has lingered. But you cannot afford to keep quiet when the enemy is shooting arrows by day and by night against your progress.
To experience your miracle, feed on God’s Word until faith comes alive in your hearts and then arise and begin to declare what you believe.
The spirit of faith demands that we declare whatever we believe before we can receive. When we speak to the mountain, with faith in our hearts, it must surely move [Mark 11:23].
Christ has given us the power of faith in His Word to overcome the world. He died at the Cross and shed His Blood to ensure that afflictions never arise a second time in our lives.
Therefore, today, let us deliberately begin to engage the power in the Blood by speaking against every negative condition.
As the year draws to a close, let us also engage our tongues in offering worthy praise to God for His amazing faithfulness in our lives. Certainly, as we do, we shall see a manifestation of last minute miracles and speedy fulfillment of this year’s prophetic agenda of wonders.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to always speak right. And as I release Your power through high praise, I thank You for the speedy release of miracles and the manifestations of Your prophetic agenda for me this year in Jesus Name.
