Jesus demonstrated the power of speaking the Word during His public ministry. Sometimes, as He ministered, the Bible says His Word was with power (Luke 4:32). He spoke to the winds, and they obeyed Him. He spoke to demons, and they obeyed Him. Even sickness and death obeyed Him when He spoke to them.
Jesus also taught His disciples to believe in the power of speaking the Word. He said if they were to speak to a mountain, telling it to be removed and doubt not, it would be done (Mark 11:23). That may sound somewhat radical, but we also have that authority to speak to the “mountains” in our life with faith and believe that things will change as a result of doing that.
No practical value exists in speaking to a literal mountain to be removed. But referring to the humongous size of a mountain underscores the power of speaking the Word with faith. In other words, if it can move a literal mountain, what about the relatively smaller things in our life? The Bible refers to God’s Word as the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). Hence, when we speak according to His Word, our words have power in the spiritual realm. This amazing power does not reside in us but in our faith in the power of God’s Word.
