...He shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23)...

A friend of mine posted a note about confessions of the tongue on "Face Book"....I wanted to bless y'all with my replies so far....
---------------------------------

-I feel ya. I don't think that you can "magically form things" by speaking some off the wall "Jargon" but I do believe (based on scripture) that putting the Word of God/Promises of God in your mouth is a very essential part of obtaining them "By Faith." That's what we call talking like God, agreeing with God (Amos 3:3). That's why Jesus tells us in Mark 11:23 to "Speak" to our mountains etc (Look at how many times he says "say, saith etc." in these passages). In This context it's not about the hearing part of faith, but about the "Speaking" or commanding part of faith. That's simply because God in His sovereignty gave man "dominion" way back in the garden of eden. That dominion must be exercised or acted out, and "speaking the Word of God" is key. It's not all up to God what you have in this life (in any area of your life). Awe man...I can talk about this all day...but yeah, Watch ya mouth! (Tongue). Sometimes saying NOTHING at all is the worst thing that you can do!...Love Ya'll!

-There has to be balance that's all. some people end up in a ditch on either the left side of the road, or the right side (I'm talking about prosperity confessions in particular here). The Solid Word of God is the middle. First of all, like someone stated above, your heart and relationship with God (through JESUS CHRIST) has to be right (Motive). It's very clear that God has a plan for His people financially (Providence) as well as spirit, soul and body. His Word covers everything that pertains to life. So in every area, we should find out what His WORD says, and as we live for him with upright hearts, loving Him for who He is....THEN we should put HIS WORD in our mouths and act on it so that we can "Have whatsoever we saith" like His Word says (Mark 11:23). He desires to bless us SO THAT WE MAY BE A BLESSING HERE ON EARTH (The provision has a purpose, and the chief purpose is to spread the GOSPEL) (Cont' Below)...

-but we gotta "Speak things" (His Word). Now some foke on one side get materialistic with it, and some foke on the other side thinks that God wants us "Broke, Busted, and disgusted." THERE IS A BALANCE. We can't "Throw the baby out with the bath water." Wherever there is wheat, there are gonna be tares. (This is one of my areas of "Master Study"!!! lol I got lotsa' WORD on this subject!!!)

-ex.- Lil Billy is a faithful giver (To the work of the Gospel) tither etc. And he rides the bus to work everyday, but is always late gettin' home to the wife and kids cause the bus runs late. So he NEEDS a car right! well he finds in the WORD where it says "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:19) And since he meets the CONDITIONS of the WORD (Paul was talking to givers with PURE MOTIVES), he can then make that promise PERSONAL by confessing it audibly "By Faith", expecting (another FAITH KEY) God to bless him with the car that he has already prayed for! Another thing is that he should be "specific" when asking (ex. type of car). This is an example of Mark 11:23 in action.

"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)
