SPEAKING YOUR FAITH
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.
Your faith in God is not just your conviction about Him and His, it is an expression of that conviction by a corresponding action. Faith without expression or action is dead, being alone without life. The Bible kind of faith is not mere ''I believe”, it is "I believe, therefore I speak or act.’' Whatever you claim to believe that lacks expression, is not faith. That's fake! Bible faith is not void of expression. It must be expressed through words and action, doing something.
2 Corinthians 4:13
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.
Did you see how believing goes with speaking, and how that faith is not without speaking words consistent with its claim?
Now, considering our Opening verse, let's look at the operation of faith from the teaching of Jesus about mountain moving faith. This is one of the most vividly illustrated and demonstrative teachings of Jesus Christ. He cursed the fig tree that was unfruitful by saying: ”No man eats fruits of thee hereafter forever; and His disciples heard it” (Mark 11:14).
Now this was Jesus faith in demonstration. He spoke His faith out loud, loud enough to be heard by the disciples. He didn't whisper His faith, He didn't speak in His heart, but He released His faith in spoken words loud enough to be heard. Did you see that? Then He taught His disciples to use faith, having shown them a vivid example. This reveals Jesus teaching on faith that is so rounded and complete.
Note the flow of faith that it begins with saying something in line with what you believe. You can't just believe and not say something consistent With your faith. Speaking your faith is what it takes to release the potency and power of faith. In fact, performance is by speaking your faith. Now, go ahead and speak what you believe according to the Word as to your health, finances, ministry, family, academics, business, etc. It's not one-off. Let it be your consistent conversation. Do not let the Word depart from your mouth speak your faith out loud!
Hearing the word will not led us to the right path buy only our faith and trust in him can always set us free.
Working towards faith is all we should be doing all the time .
Humility and faith through christ can bring us closer to God .
When you accept christ in your life you have already made a decision of being with him and working for him through your believe
its tells us what the lord will definiatelly do for you , the lord has made a clear way and prepare the perfect way for us .
God gave you his word in the bible , he gave you everything you need as christain to be protected and guilded do not be desieved by anybody.
The church we attend sometimes we always be a part of distruction to all of those who practice the culture of a particular church which is sometimes away from what thebible teaches.
The devil has no power over your life always proclaim the gospel and the devil will always depart from you
Do not take decisions into your hand and do what your mind tells you and not definiatelly what the spirit directs you to do.
Let your life be a represention of a humble lamb and the true son.
Faith is trust, assurance and confidence in God. Living faith is shown by service and obedience to God. Faith is not all about the believing alone, there must be actions towards it. This is a great post.

Faith without works is dead, faith without actions is mere hope which can't get anything done, faith is proof, faith is belief, faith is confidence.
The words that have power are words that are filled with faith. Faith is directly related to our actions, when we have faith in God's word we easily show it with our day to day activities. Thanks for sharing.
There is no substitute for truth. You cant fight truth, truth fight for you!
"Note the flow of faith that it begins with saying something in line with what you believe. You can't just believe and not say something consistent With your faith"
I totally agree with you
We have faith, grow faith, exercise faith, feed faith and SPEAK faith. Your message was powerful. Keep on!
The truth is bitter, but will always set us free
So be truthful in all you do, no matter what happens.
