Jesus Said You Speak to the Mountain

Faith Begins with God’s Word

When Jesus speaks, His words are never wasted. He doesn’t backtrack or say something by accident. That’s why He tells us in Mark 11:22 (NLT): “Then Jesus said to the disciples, ‘Have faith in God.’”

It’s simple, but we often complicate it. We put our faith in circumstances, in people, or even in our own ability to do things right. But Jesus only gave one option: have faith in God.

Whoever Speaks to the Mountain

Here’s where it gets real. Mark 11:23 (NLT) says: “I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.”

Notice, Jesus didn’t say God would speak to the mountain. He said whoever speaks will see it move. That means you. That means me. Every believer has been given this authority. The finished work of Jesus put the power of His Word in our mouths.

Stop Coddling the Struggle

Too often, we carry sickness, trauma, fear, or lack like a badge of honor. We talk about what we’ve been through instead of commanding it to go. But Jesus didn’t tell us to nurse the mountain. He told us to tell it to move.

When we cling to struggles as part of our identity, we’re actually holding onto something Jesus already bore for us. That’s why repentance is so beautiful. The moment we release it, God says, “It’s okay, I love you,” and we are free again.

Speak Boldly and Believe

The key is speaking God’s Word with faith and without doubt. Jesus finished the command in Mark 11:24 (NLT): “I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.”

That doesn’t mean wishful thinking or halfhearted prayers. It means lining up our words with God’s truth, believing He has already done it, and refusing to doubt. Faith isn’t passive—it’s active. It moves mountains.

Your Job Is to Speak

God has equipped you with everything you need to walk in victory. Your role is simple: open your mouth, declare His Word, and refuse to let doubt steal your confidence.

So when fear knocks, speak to it. When sickness rises, command it to leave. When lack shows up, tell it to move. You are a “whoever,” and Jesus promised that whatever you say in faith will come to pass.
