Main Ideas and Lessons

  • A “secret” to seeing God’s supernatural power in your life is how you use your words.
  • Jesus demonstrated this principle in Mark 11 when he cursed a fig tree, and it dried up from the roots within about 24 hours, showing that:
    • something can happen spiritually immediately (below the surface),
    • but may manifest visibly later.
  • The disciples’ surprise led Jesus to teach the core faith mechanism:
    • “Have faith in God.”
    • Speak to the “mountain” (the problem) and do not doubt in your heart.
  • Faith works through a two-part process:
    • Believe you receive when you pray (not when you see it),
    • and that belief results in future manifestation.
  • Many people experience defeat because they:
    • talk more in line with what they see (doctor/banker/physical conditions),
    • than with what God’s Word promises.
  • Words carry power for both outcomes:
    • your speech can produce life or death (i.e., blessing or self-curse).
  • A major behavioral issue: people often don’t mean their words or don’t keep commitments, which undermines the credibility of faith in the spiritual realm.
  • The same authority applies beyond healing: finances, emotions, business, and sickness can be addressed by speaking—not merely begging God to act.

Method / Instructions (Detailed)

  1. Understand the “timing” pattern (spiritual vs. visible manifestation)

    • Expect God’s decrees to act immediately in the unseen realm, even if visible results take time (e.g., the fig tree’s ~24-hour timeline).
    • Don’t equate “not yet seen” with “not received.”

  2. When you pray, believe you receive immediately

    • Follow the Mark 11:24 conceptually:
      • When you pray: believe that you receive.
      • Then you shall have it (later, not necessarily instantly).

  3. Speak to the problem directly (“the mountain”)

    • Treat Mark 11:23 as a model:
      • Identify the “mountain” (sickness, poverty, lack, etc.).
      • Say to it: “Be thou removed… be cast into the sea.”
    • Don’t approach the situation as if you must ask God to remove it.
    • Emphasize: you have authority—talk to the mountain, not only to God about it.

  4. Use speech as an act of faith (words release what faith believes)

    • Make your words align with God’s promises:
      • e.g., “my body is healed,” “my finances are prospering.”
    • Avoid speech that matches fear or doom:
      • don’t declare symptoms, death sentences, economic collapse, curses, or inevitability.
    • Recognize: death and life are in the tongue.
      • Repeating negative reports can “curse” yourself.

  5. Maintain inner certainty: do not doubt in your heart

    • Mark 11:23 stresses:
      • not doubt in your heart,
      • but believe the things you say will come to pass.

  6. Pair belief and confession

    • Believe in your heart and speak with your mouth.
    • The teaching connects this to Romans 10: heart-belief + mouth-confession.
    • Apply both directions:
      • If you only think/silently believe but don’t speak, it may not come to pass.
      • If you only speak but don’t believe, it may not come to pass.
      • If you do both, then results follow.

  7. Shift focus away from the visible problem and toward the answer

    • Instead of obsessing over symptoms:
      • praise God as though the promise is already true (example given: “by His stripes I’m healed”).
    • Faith can “revive” when attention moves from the problem to the promise.

  8. Confront “powerlessness” statements

    • “It doesn’t work for me” is framed as unbelief spoken aloud that short-circuits God’s power.
    • Reframe by speaking spiritual truth over natural circumstances.
    • The teaching references God’s power availability inside believers (including concepts like Ephesians 1:19 and Holy Spirit-related “power”).

  9. Keep your word as part of faith credibility

    • Faith is tied to character consistency:
      • disregarding commitments undermines faith.
    • If you repeatedly don’t mean what you say, you may train yourself not to believe your own words—reducing your expectation of response.

  10. Practical examples mentioned

    • Healing example: speaking against COVID/Psalm 91 promises during the COVID period, encouraging boldness rather than fear.
    • Testimony example (Julie Ann Hartman):
      • worsening despite extensive medical spending,
      • heard teaching on authority/power,
      • began speaking directly to her body,
      • reportedly recovered over weeks/months, and later ministered healing to many.
    • Finance example (mailbox/bills story):
      • someone began prophesying to their mailbox because bills kept arriving,
      • reportedly received a large sum soon after.
