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. Mark 11:23     
                               
In this scripture, the word verily means, “I’m telling you the truth.” Jesus said that before He explained exactly how the God-kind of faith works. I’m so glad the next thing Jesus said was whosoever. Faith will work for anyone, on any situation, regardless of gender, age, or even education. You don’t even have to be smart to have faith.  In fact, being smart could be one of your biggest problems. Dr. David Yonggi Cho said that God doesn’t talk to smart people. He only talks to those who say, “Here I am Lord, teach me something.”

The last word emphasized in Mark 11:23 is whatsoever. Whosoever shall have whatsoever.  In other words, faith will work for anyone and will work on anything.  When I found this out, I started confessing some things rather than just sitting around hoping things worked out. I started charting my course. If faith will work on a mountain, it will work on anything. 
In Mark 11:23, Jesus is referring to the authority of the believer. The authority of the believer isn’t just available, but it is absolutely necessary. Sometimes all you need to do is make adjustments in one word or phrase then your faith will work and open you up to the supernatural.
 
Any man can be changed by faith no matter how he may be fettered (bound).

CHECK WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING
In Mark 11:23 Jesus said, “whosoever shall have whatsoever he saith.”  Notice He didn’t say he can have whatsoever.  Rather Jesus said, “He shall have….”  If you are not happy with what you have in life, you’d better check out what you have been saying.  Sometimes it’s good to get a faith partner and hold each other accountable for what you are saying.

The God-kind of faith will work on more than one thing at one time. That means you could confess more than one thing at a time. In your struggling, you have been saying, “I need God to do this or that thing.”  Realize that God can do many things at the same time, and the lights will not even blink in Heaven from an overload!  God didn’t tell you to get your shovel out and move the mountain, He said, “Speak to it.”  You don’t have to struggle, have a nervous breakdown, or a heart attack.  Speak to your mountain!
Genesis 1 says that the Spirit of God moved on the face of the deep, but nothing happened until God said something.  All throughout Genesis 1 - God said and then He saw.  Many people are wanting a change of scenery, but they must have a change of sound first. 
The Holy Spirit will move upon you, but nothing is going to change until you say something.  You must function with that God-kind of faith. The God-kind of faith will work for anyone and will work on anything. 
           
God wants to do things through you, so take the limits off and let God be God.  Jesus didn’t say that you would have what others said about you, He said that you have what you say.  When you were growing up, your daddy may have called you stupid.  Jesus didn’t say you’re going to have what your daddy said, He said you’d have what you say.
 
VERBAL RESPONSE
We don’t fly on the commercial airlines much anymore, but when we do there is a row called the “exit row.”  The exit row has a little extra leg room, and our secretary normally books us those seats.  Before take-off the flight attendant always asks us if we are ready and willing to help in the case of an emergency.  One time, I nodded my head yes and she quickly replied, “I need a verbal response.”  In the same way, you can’t just nod at the promises of God, you need a verbal response. 
 
FEED YOUR FAITH
This month we want to offer you two books, The Spirit of Faith and Faith Opens the Door to the Supernatural.  These books will stir you up and cause you to overcome in every area of your life this year. 
We also want to invite you to our Supernatural Leadership Conference in Alexandria, Louisiana, March 4-7, 2025.  This is one of our favorite events every year and we want you to join us.  If you are a pastor, we encourage you to bring your staff and leadership teams and get ready to go to another level. 

Thank you so much for your faithful partnership with us.  We continue to preach the gospel every day through television, social media, meetings, our podcast and many more avenues. Your partnership is making this possible.  We declare to you, “Our God shall supply all of your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
       
In Christ,
