 Start Speaking Faith NowKenneth Copeland

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of
the
good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man
out
of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

- Matthew 12:34-35

Words won't work without faith any more than faith will work without
words!
It takes them both to put the law of faith in motion.

Many believers don't realize that. They'll continually speak words of
doubt
and unbelief, then they'll jump up one day and say a couple of faith
words
and expect mountains to move-- and to their dismay, they don't.

Why not?

Because as Matthew 12:34-35 says, it's the words that come from the heart
that produce results. The person who just throws in a couple of faith
words
now and then isn't speaking them from the abundance of his heart, so
they're
not effective.

Does that mean you shouldn't start speaking words of faith until you're
sure
you have the faith to back them?

No! Speaking words of faith is good spiritual exercise. If you want to
receive healing by faith, for example, fasten your mind and your mouth on
the Word of God where your health is concerned. Instead of talking about
how
miserable you feel, quote Isaiah 53:5. Say, "Jesus was wounded for my
transgressions. He was bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of my
peace was upon Him; and with His stripes, praise God, I was healed!"

If you'll continue to meditate on those words and continue to say them,
the
truth in them will begin to sink in. They'll take root in your heart and
begin to grow. And eventually you really will be speaking from the
abundance
of your heart.

When that happens, it won't matter what the circumstances look like.
You'll
know you have what you've been believing for and the devil himself won't
be
able to talk you out of it. You'll cross the line from hope to faith, and
you'll start seeing those mountains move!
