Mark 11:22-23 Have faith in God (Have the faith of God). 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.
What is the faith of God? The faith of God is associated with believing and speaking words. At some time in your life you will need a miracle from God. It may be for yourself or a loved one. No doubt you have found yourself in that position. You may be in great need today with sickness, finances, or some unseen power tormenting you. You can have a miracle.
The Bible records many miracles. Some have thought the age of miracles is over, but the day of miracles is not over because there is still a God of miracles. He is the Lord God and He changes not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Where is that miracle you need so desperately? How can you get it? Where can it be found? Is it far or is it near? There is a miracle in your mouth. There is a law in the Bible that says what you believe and speak can change things in your life. Your miracle is not far from you, it is near.
Romans 10:8 – 10 says, “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is the word of faith which we preach. v. 9 That is thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. v. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” If you want a miracle start believing and speaking God’s Word and God’s will for your life. What is the greatest miracle anyone can receive? Salvation. How did the miracle of salvation come into their life? Believing and speaking. If it will bring the greatest miracle, it will bring every other miracle. The hinge that opens the door to the greatest miracle was the hinge of faith, which is believing and speaking. We do not have to go to Heaven to get salvation, healing, or deliverance. We do not have to send away for it, it is nigh thee even in our mouth (Rm. 10:8). “But I cannot do such a thing.” You were made and created to do it.
Genesis 1:26 says, “Let us make man in our image (resemblance; representative; figure; after our likeness; fashion; like us; manner; model; shape; similitude) and let them have dominion…v. 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.” What is the dominant image and likeness we see in chapter one of Genesis? Yes, God is a spirit and man is a spirit. Yes, God is a Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and man is a trinity, spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Notice “God said” is mentioned ten times in the first chapter (Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 28, 29). The first thing revealed about God is that He speaks words and they come to pass. God is a speaking spirit. Hebrews 11:3 refers back to this speaking and God framing the world at Creation and calls it being done through faith. God is a faith God. God is a faith speaking Spirit being. Let us make man after our image and likeness, a faith speaking spirit being.
Was it really the intent of God? Yes, in the New Testament look at the new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 If any man is in Christ he is a new creation. It is said of this new creation in 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. I am just like my Heavenly Father. I am a faith speaking spirit being.
We do not have to suffer in silence. Isaiah 53:7 says, “As a lamb to slaughter, as a sheep before his shearers is dumb, He opened not His mouth.” Why did He suffer in silence? This is the great redemption substitution chapter. He suffered in silence so we can boldly say things revealed in His Word Hebrews 13:5, 6.
