Did you know that Mark 11:23 says you can have whatsoever you say if you say it with faith and not doubt? In fact, other scriptures say you'll absolutely get what you say.

You need to understand that every day - whether you realize it or not - you are confessing what you're going to get tomorrow. If you don't like what you have in life today, change what you're saying, and you'll find that your tomorrows will be different.

Proverbs 10:11 says, "The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life."
Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."

If we're confessing the Word of God, we're speaking life to ourselves and to others. If we constantly confess the circumstances, we're speaking death to ourselves and those around us.

When was the last time you had a conversation with the flu? Did you ever hold a conversation with your checkbook or with cancer? You aren't supposed to talk to Jesus about it. You're supposed to talk directly to the mountain - in Jesus' name - whatever the mountain is in your life!

James tells us to be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer. Jesus says we need to "say." When you say, or talk, words come out of your mouth. Say the words out loud! Don't just think them in your mind. Stop talking to Jesus about it. Stop talking to anybody else about it. Speak to the mountain itself in Jesus' name!

Do you have a financial mountain in your life? Start talking to your money. Tell your checkbook to line up with God's Word. Talk to your business. Command customers to come into your business and spend their money there. Talk to the mountain.
