Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS.”

The Bible tells us time and again that words have power. Romans 10:8 declares, “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your MOUTH (first) and in your heart (second)” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
God gives more weight to SPEAKING OUT HIS WORD and LESS WEIGHT to believing it.
This is clearly evidenced in the opening scripture. As usual, God doesn’t merely tell us these things: He DEMONSTRATES them. We are studying why He SAYS so.
–
–
Speak Out God’s Word.
The most incredible evidence of the power of speaking is, well, EVERYTHING. That’s how God created the universe: BY SPEAKING IT FORTH! Then God made man in His image.
In the Hebrew text of Genesis 2:7 where it says “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING BEING…” Literally, “man became a SPEAKING SPIRIT.”

–
Afterward, God brought every animal to Adam one by one. He didn’t only give all of them their names: THE VARIOUS ANIMALS TOOK ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NAMES THEY WERE GIVEN AS HE SPOKE OVER EACH ONE. His words had power, just like his Father, God.
–
You and I are made in the exact same image of God. We have the same power of the spoken word that Adam possessed.
–
“SAYING” More Important Than “Believing.”
The word, “Say,” is mentioned three times in the opening verse, but believe is mentioned only once. Whenever the Holy Spirit records something three times, you’d better believe that what follows is of critical importance.
–
1). Whoever SAYS to this mountain. 2). Believes those things that he SAYS. 3). He will have whatever he SAYS.
–
See? BELIEVE is mentioned only ONCE but SAY is mentioned three times. Are you sensing a pattern here? It’s obvious that the EMPHASIS here is on SAYING, not believing. Yet how many times do we hear sermons based on this verse and the emphasis is on believing? Seems to me that God wants a whole lot more speaking, not that believing plays no part or is unimportant mind you.

Secrets In The Hebrew Language.
The Holy Spirit demonstrates the importance of speaking in the Hebrew language itself. Here is where you’ll find the juiciest tidbits!
–
The word for speak/spoke is, “Davar.” It has a very interesting story to tell. In Hebrew it is spelled like this:
–
–
Hebrew reads from right to left and is a language of picture writing, like Chinese. These pictures are very consistent. The letters of the word and their meanings are below:
–
ד=dalet: Door
ב=Bet: House
ר=Resh: Head
–
The letters, “Bet and Resh,” together [בר] spell “Bar,” which means “Son,” in Aramaic.
How do you open the DOOR (dalet) TO THE SON (bar)? BY SPEAKING!
–
Here’s another clue to walking in faith and protection from everything the enemy might throw at you. The word for pestilence in Hebrew is “Deber,” It is spelled like this in Hebrew:
–
–
Looks just like the word for “Speak,” just with different vowel pointers. That tells you that the way pestilences come on you or your family is by speaking. What does God tell us to do? Think on things that are good, positive, of good report and to call those things that are not as though they were.
–
–
The Power Of AMEN!
As if that weren’t demonstrative enough, look at this:
This is why we SAY, “AMEN!” to God’s blessings and why we must SPEAK God’s word over out situation.
–
–
David in Psalm 91 wrote, “I will SAY of the LORD, He is my refuge.” Why? Because God becomes to you whatever you “SAY” of Him. If you “SAY” that God gives you sickness to teach you a lesson, even though He does not, then that’s what He is to you, though sickness is never meant to be your heritage.

Amen, “Imun” in Hebrew is the root of the word for, “Faith: Imunah.” They are spelled like this, respectively:
–
[אָמֵן] Amen
[אֱמוּנָה] Faith
–
Reading from right to left, at the end of the word, “Imunah,” is the letter, “Hei [ה],” which means, “Grace.” Why does “Hei” mean “Grace?” You may follow the link below to read all about it:

Lost In The Wilderness?
Ever feel like you’re lost in the wilderness and can’t find your way out? Once again, God hides the secret of how to find your way out of your “Wilderness” in the Hebrew letters.
–
If you take any verb in Hebrew and put the letter, “Mem[מ] in front of it, the word becomes a noun. The word “Davar,” for instance, becomes the word “Midbar,” which means ”
Wilderness.” “Midbar,” is the Hebrew name for the book of “Numbers.”
Wilderness.” “Midbar,” is the Hebrew name for the book of “Numbers.”
–
The way out of your wilderness, your “Midbar,” is to open the door (dalet) to the Son (bar). How do you open the door to the Son? You SPEAK–SAY what you want, not what you don’t, and keep on SAYING.
–
WRONG WAY!
–
Man Has It Backwards.
But what do we do all too often? We say things like, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” But somehow, we never actually “See” whatever “It” is. That’s exactly the point. We don’t see it because we don’t say it. MAN HAS IT BACKWARDS.
–
If God had used that principle when the earth was without form and void, darkness everywhere, He would have looked around and said “Wow, it’s so dark!” It would have gotten even darker! 😲 But that’s not what he did. That is not the way He operates. He always SAYS what hedoesn’t see. He SAID, “Light be;” and it was. At the end of each day, He saw what he had SPOKEN into existence; THEN SAID it was good.
–
Paul says of God Romans 4:17, “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did…” We, who are made in His image, can do likewise; call forth those things that are not as though they were.
–
Speak Out Your Covenant.
Every time you partake of communion, declare: SPEAK OUT your Covenant with God. Every time you “eat” the Lord’s supper, SAY “Amen” to His promises.
–
–
Eating Your Way Back.
Remember what Adam and Eve did just before the fall? They ATE of the forbidden tree. You could literally say they “ATE” their way into the curse. If they ATE their way into the curse, eating is part of the way back.
–
Just as eating from the wrong tree in the garden brought about the fall, so eating of the Lord’s Supper, the right tree celebrating Jesus, the TREE of LIFE, declares our covenant with God. It affirms we are not under any curse and brings to God’s remembrance what His beloved Son did on our behalf.
–
When you eat of the Lord’s body, you literally eat your way back into wholeness, health, blessings, and every good thing that God has for His children. Because of that covenant, all the promises in the Bible are yours for the taking, or should I say, “The eating.”
–
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF COMMUNION.

The Syro-Phonecian Woman.
The Gentile woman from Syro-Phonecia who came to Jesus begging Him to deliver her demon-possessed daughter. At first, He was not willing to grant her request, saying that the children must first be fed.
You see, at that point in time, God had not begun to deal with the Gentiles yet. That is a whole topic in and of itself so, if you’d like to read more about it, please follow the link below:

How amazing that even a tiny crumb of bread taken in the Lords name can do more than the most powerful medicine man could ever invent. A tiny crumb can send the devil packing!
Let’s read on and see WHY she got her miracle.
–
Mark 7:26-30
“The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.”
Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.”
–
She asked and asked and asked and didn’t give up ASKING.
–
The Children’s Bread.
Did you see that, Church? Jesus called healing “The Children’s bread.” You and I don’t have to wait for crumbs to fall from the Master’s table: WE ALREADY ARE HIS CHILDREN! We are seated at His table. We are always eligible to eat the Children’s Bread.
–
Appropriating God’s Blessings.
How do you appropriate God’s blessings in your life? Use your mouth. “Speak out God’s word.” All the psychology in the world, all the positive confession, positive mental attitudes or all the so-called human wisdom and theories proposed by men may or may not work. But one thing is certain: “GOD’S WORD ALWAYS WORKS.”
–
God doesn’t deal in speculation or theories, maybe so or hope so. His word deals with “know so; verily, verily; amen, amen; truly, truly. His word is accurate, powerful. God’s word works…..PERIOD!”
–
So, you “SPEAK” out your covenant and your put communion in your “MOUTH” out of which you “SPEAK” to seal His covenant by the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross.”

The Basis Of All Creation Is Light!
Genesis 1 : 1 says that ” God created the heavens and the earth.” The first words He spoke were “Light be.” He created light before there was anything else, but it was not from the Sun which was created on the 4th day.
–
Scientists actually have discovered that when everything is broken down to it’s minutest particle they are photons which is nothing more than light! How amazing and accurate our Bible is! LIGHT CREATED EVERYTHING!
–
When God’s SPOKEN word comes into your life, it brings LIGHT!
–
The Bible Is Truth, Not Theory.
In many respects, scientists are still dealing with theories and speculations. Many things revealed in the Bible they have still not figured out.
–
There was a time long ago when man thought the moon was larger than the sun because it appears to be. But the Bible says that the sun is the “Greater light” and the moon is the “Lesser light.”
–
Centuries later, what did man “Discover?” That the Bible is right! What it said was, in fact, accurate. God was right all along. Hmmm…..imagine that. The sun only appears to be smaller because it is much farther away.
–
God NEVER plays “Catch up”…..and neither does His word. Man is the one that is always trying catching up to The Bible. Though technically not a book about science, the Bible is the most scientifically accurate book of all. Job is certainly proof of that.

–
Wisdom From Scripture.
Though technically not a book about science, the Bible is the most scientifically accurate book of all. Job is certainly proof of that. Though technically not a book about science, the Bible is the most scientifically accurate book of all. Job is certainly proof of that, being the oldest book in the Bible.
–
In chapter 26, verse 7, Job says that “God hangs the earth upon nothing.”
How could he know enough to write such a thing? Did he have a space ship to fly him away from the earth so he could look back and see it hanging on nothing? No, of course not. If he did, he would have seen what our astronauts have seen; that indeed it does look as though the earth is hanging upon nothing.
–
Today, we know that the “Nothing” about which he wrote is the force we call, “Gravity.” But Job couldn’t have know that nor would he have understood any of that. He simply recorded what God told him.
–
–
So, Church, it stands to reason that the more of God’s word–LIGHT–you get into your life, into your situation or circumstance, the more you can expect it to create your miracle or your answer.
Every time you go to church, expect that God’s word will bring that light of creation into your life. His word brings light and life into your Spirit, soul, and body; into your relationships, your family, your work and into your entire life. He can even raise to life that which was formerly life-less!
–
You and I can use our speaking to open the door to the Son or to the devil by what we say.
–
Words have power. So make sure you “Davar: SPEAK” out God’s Word!

I believe we should know that EXACT way to speak His word. How will I know if a version of the Bible is correct? If we create as we speak, like Him, isn’t it important to have the matching vibration of His word?
My friend and I have been debating this back and forth. Maybe I need to learn and speak Hebrew. Was hoping maybe for a few examples? Since you seem to know Hebrew well. Anything that has to do with the Holy Spirit or Angels? Would really appreciate it and thank you for your website. You do a great job connecting the dots. From one “connector” to another, thank you.
