Declare It!

Matthew 17:²⁰ “…I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (NIV, emphasis added)

Did you notice that Jesus did not say if you have faith as big as this mountain, then you can move this situation? The faith size is the seed size. Even if you take the biggest seed, compared to a mountain, it is still very small. So, you may look at your faith and think your faith is small. I am here to say to you today that that is what you need. That seed-sized faith is what is required to move that mountain-sized problem. That is all you need. So what is the issue? I will show you from Scripture what the issue is. Hebrews 10:²³ “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” (KJV, emphasis added).

The issue is we do not hold fast for long enough, to that faith that we have professed. “…for he is faithful that promised …”; this speaks of a relationship, the Person that has promised is faithful. He is faithful that has promised, so hold fast. In essence, the “little faith” that you have is enough to get you through what you are facing right now if you hold on. Are you saying I have enough faith already? Yes! And all you have to do is to hold on, do not move. Hold on, you are coming out on top, in the Name of Jesus. Hold on, continue to declare it in the Name of Jesus. Why? Proverbs 18:²¹ “The tongue has the power of life and death…” (NIV).

So, even if your mind is not there yet, continue to speak the Word of God. The more of the Word of God you speak, the more programming it does to your mind. And over time, the more you begin to think like God. When you say what God says, you begin to think like God thinks. And when you think like God thinks, nothing will be impossible for you. John 15:^4&7 “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me… But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!”

To activate the mind of Christ, you need to speak the Words of Christ. Keep speaking it even if it does not look like it. Just keep speaking it. They are laughing at you, keep speaking it. You may look like a fool but keep speaking it. You may be the object of mockery, just keep speaking it. Kings will come to your light. Nations will come to the radiance of your light. Keep speaking it in the Mighty Name of Jesus. So, to work the Word, we need to Ingest It, Believe It, and Declare It. And all these things are choices we need to make.

Prayer: I declare, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, that my light shines for all to see. The glory of the Lord shines on me. All nations come to my light and kings to my radiance. Amen!
